Pros

Good Experience working in the Entertainment Corporate industry. When I leave it will look good on my resume.

Cons

Members of staff who do not have the required skills and who do not care to learn more. However, are paid an exorbitant amount of money. For example, people are literally paid over 100+ thousand dollars a year just to hang TV's, screw in a coax cable and set up TV channels. The carpenters put up the mounts, the electrician runs the cable and all that is LITERALLY done is just to hang TV's. The other workers who are on contract knows everything about how the AV system operates and are way more talented but are subjected to a very low salary with little to know benefits. Might I say we can also be fired at will as a result there is a high turn over of workers.

Pros

Lots of opportunities to learn anything within the company. They encourage employees to move around internally rather than to leave.

Pros

My manager didn't care about vacation time, if work wasn't stacking up. 4 free tickets to Universal Studios.

Cons

Crappy laptop to do development on. Have to have that same crappy laptop for 5 years, sadness. Irritating quarterly meetings, latest is they only want you to leave on the last day whereas before you could at least leave the next morning.
