Pros

Good money for the work, great benefit package, awesome amount of PTO

Cons

Way too many hours when a show is taking place. Your home life/family always comes 2nd when a show is going on. 18 hour days/20 day stretches working in 100 degree convention center with 30 minute breaks is sometime too much! Employee morale is very low. No bonus structure or way to make more money.

Pros

Work life balance can be good at times and then it could be horrible. Opportunity for career advancement is there if you wait it

Cons

Salary is not great considering the amount of work we do, plus salaried positions do not make any OT money when we have very long weeks working on show site. Yearly annual raise is 3% which is nothing. The only significant raise you can get is if you get promoted to a more senior role. Also the traveling becomes brutal when you are gone for 10 or more days at a time for these shows.
