Pros

The pay was on point. You start out making $14.50/hr & after taking numerous tests & courses you'll make $18/hr. I got hired when I knew almost nothing about AudioVisual set up. I ended up learning a lot from this job. However, it quickly became repetitive & nothing was a challenge to me anymore. My next hurdle was learning how to be a very responsive in room AudioVisual tech. Management did not let me achieve it though. I got paid holidays and sick leave as a part time employee.

Cons

Not much room for advancement in company, clients ALWAYS come first even if they lie about you, tattoos & piercings are not allowed, boring (hurry up & wait), etc.

Pros

- great network in the LA area - hours are rough but its the same across the industry - feels like we are part of a bigger purpose, clients seem to enjoy what we do - ability to transfer to other properties when needed - company is growing at a pace that doesnt seem crazy (another company in industry just had major layoff)

Cons

- hours are long and there are weeks that seem to never end - competitive business with many companies trying to poach - choose carefully on who you work for, the manager defines the position
