Are you talking about the club members? If so they are NOT being paid. It's all volunteer work. And yes, some clubs have friendlier people than others.
The judges are paid to come judge and the club or clubs in the cluster hire the superindentent to set up the show and collect the results. They are not the ones running the show. The host club is the one running the show.

I am also not sure why they need an outside company to put on and run the shows. There is no reason why the affiliate club can not do that.

If you mean the superindentent, the superindentents sends out the preimums to announce the show, recive the entry forms, collect the money for entries (which they turn over to the club), print the armbands and catalogs and set up the rings. They also collect the results (wins) of the show and post them on line, and get them turned into the AKC.
My husband has been a show secetary for a specialty show. It involves quite a bit of time and it is much easier for a club to hire someone as a superindentent or show secetary than to try to do this themselves. They would spend more in time and money trying to it themselves, and that's IF they have someone with the time and know how to do entry forms and catalogs, etc.
Go to another show put on by another club. Don't judge all clubs and shows by one experience.
