Pros

Some locations have a very team oriented atmosphere, many employees care very much for their co-workers.

Cons

Leadership doesn't listen to key contributors. Work life balance is non-existent. There are systemic problems that continue to go unsolved. The company is losing long tenured and new employees at a rapid pace. Many senior leaders are from outside the industry, which isn't inherently bad, but many fail to learn the nuances of the business. They think they get it, but they don't grasp it as well as they think. Leadership also talks up their values, and I believe that they think they stick to them, but they don't practice them as well as they think.

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.
