DO NOT WORK FOR THIS COMPANY!! THEY ARE HORRIBLE! They get one star because Im forced to in order to give them a review. This company is associated with Nascar. When Nascar races are being held Americrown hires temporary employees to work in the track suites. These suites are in the towers that overlook the track. These suites are generally filled with well to do people. Team owners, dealership owners, manufacturers like Ferrari, Acura, Porsche, executives, etc... When working in the suites you are to cater to their every whim. Treat them like royalty. In years past you brought the suite occupants their food, drinks, cleaned up after them, and anything else they wanted. Generally you were tipped well. However in the past several years the tipping trickled down to nothing or never. Many workers were suspicious that Americrown and or Nascar was marketing the price of these suites to companies as all inclusive and that tipping was not required. This may or may not be true. Now in 2017 the Rolex 24 is currently going on as I write this. It started yesterday (Saturday). Americrown and or Nascar has changed the procedure in the suites. Instead of suite staff bringing the suite occupants their food and drink the suite customers must get up out of their seats and leave the suite to get their food and drink and bring it back to their suite. The suite customers do not like this because they have to leave their seat and miss the race. Due to this procedure change the staff in the suite is not getting tipped. Now understand that the suite staff is still working in the suite for 18 hours (Saturday) cleaning up their trash, carting away their dishes, and taking care of the customers other whims. The tipping has come to a near halt. The staff is paid minimum wage and you are on your feet for 18 hours with a quick turn around to come back the next morning (today) for another long day. You get a very short break and you are lucky if you get to eat something. The suite customers have requested that we the staff go get their food and drink so they dont have to miss the race (this would likely help us get tips) however Americrown management would not allow us to do this. Americrown and Nascar should be ashamed of themselves for treating employees so badly. Incidentally some of the temporary staff who signed up to work at this race have great backgrounds and credentials. Americrown and Nascar are lucky that they were able to sign up such quality temporary staff. Some of these people have better qualifications and education than the Americrown event managers. Americrown you need fire your full time managers of these events! Your mistreatment of temporary workers has been going on for years. To the reader of this review. You should know that year after year Americrown has great difficulty recruiting temp workers to work in these suites. They continually email and phone years past suite workers begging them to come back. Tips are promised but rarely happen. Its time for Americrown and Nascar to charge suite occupants upfront for tipping like restaurants do for parties over a certain number.

NO ONE SIGN UP ! I would hate for anyone to have to work with this TERRIBLE COMPANY! I was told to work as a Promo Model for a Ferrari event in Daytona, and since the pay was good i said yes ! i was so excited until i got there. the uniform was terrible to start off with. We (7 other girls) were told there was going to be busboys , and we had to serve drinks. The staff was SO RUDE ! Especially two men named John ! They were screaming at the girls saying that we had to clean everything. At one point they told the bartender to not give us the drinks for our clients until we cleaned everything! I told him "Thats why you should hire busboys" and he replied to me "You girls are the Busboys" !!!! MY BLOOD WAS BOILING. This was a 3 day event , and on Saturday , our lunch was at 3, but no one had told me to go to lunch , so i asked one of the girls and she told me to go get food and it was already 7pm. When i go to the back , i see the manager , Heather, and i told her i havent eaten anything and she told me there was no food ! She gave me an OPEN Bag of chips and told me there was oreos !!!! OUT OF ALL THE FOOD THEY WERE SERVING ! the whole weekend was the same thing and there was no where to sit. They had the staff food out in the sun and we didnt have chairs ! after hours of standing we were forced to sit on the floor in the dirt ! Were werent allowed to be in the tent with chair as the managers ! They really mistreated us and i really need to report this to someone because no amount of money will ever be worth the way i was treated. All of the girls and other staff were really mistreated and upset. I woudnt want anyone to go through this !!!

Our group signed up to work a concession stand in the nascar event and it was the worst time of my life. We work 4 hours the first day 16 hours the second day and 20 hours the third day. a total of 40 hours in one weekend. we raised over 21,000 dollars but received a check for 400 dollars even though our contract stated that we would receive 10% of the sales. After talking to americrown we received another check which was only for 1,400... We had 24 people volunteer and work 40 ours which ends up being around 1.45 an hour. I worked in the kitchen for the 20 hour day and the main cook was really rude and dirty, after the shift ended we walked to our cars which were over 2 miles away and no escort was assigned to carry the profit which we made so we walked will 19,000 dollars in hand. this was not a good experience at all and I would never recommend anyone to sign up for this.
