I figure I should chime in, since I was there too.
Although I have done some hard times (remember the Beaver last October G?) and dealt with some total pricks (Porsche driver at CMP), this was probably my worst experience as well. Sometimes, I leave a NASA event feeling unappreciated, but for the most part I'm usually satisfied.
As a customer, Rev It Up is an incredible deal. As an employee, you're getting the shaft, bigtime. No matter how many times I told them that I had to leave early, the fags kept trying to get me to stay the whole day on Sunday. I got along pretty well on Saturday with the "Pros" until the end of the day. At that point, it was pointed out that they would get in trouble if we got to drive the car (mind you, random strangers with zero high intensity driving experience have been driving these cars all day long), therefore they drove for about 20 minutes while we got to watch. Relations further deteriorated on Sunday. Apparently, it is important the EVERY cone be standing upright, even those after the finish line. Furthermore, we had 3 MMers and 4 "Pros" at a station which could have been operated by 3-4 efficient people, if done properly. There was definitely a pervasive "I'm better than you" attitide at our place, even when there was no justification for it. That was the worst part about it.
