& Event Solutions, Chattanooga, Tenn. "It
is equally important to be selective of the
work that may be adding the additional
hours. Sometimes the revenue is not

Van Gorp aims for a close-knit
workforce. "We try to have fun on the job
and work together like a family on and

most tent rental companies have a
similar policy during the busy season.
"Planned vacations are rarely taken,"
Ritchey says. "Time off during the season
is generally only for good reason, and we
look at requests on a case-by-case basis."

quickly," Rodriguez says. "Although
we faced a few bumps along the way,
this job went well, and we are better
prepared for another season with
the university."
Even tent rental companies that are
well prepared for their busiest weeks
will encounter a few bumps in the
road. "Often in the rush of having a lot
of things to do, it can become tempting
