Pros

The benefits and free tuition are why you stay. They are very supportive of developing their staff. If you have a good manager who supports you, then you feel like anything is possible. The students are both frustrating and wonderful in the manners in which they surprise you.

Cons

Faculty egos and attitudes especially towards support staff are unbelievably demoralizing. It is part of the culture and will never change. Do not attempt to treat them as humans or peers. Not all people are like this, but the ones that are make it very well known that you are the servant and not an equal.

Pros

Great opportunity to learn about professional audio, lighting, video systems, and other event production technologies. Access to training and guidance from ETC-certified staff, providing valuable hands-on learning experience. Opportunity to work on exciting events and participate in a variety of engaging and enjoyable projects.

Cons

Management was one of the biggest challenges. Leadership, particularly at the director level, often lacked the technical understanding needed to make informed decisions, which made it difficult for technical teams to work effectively. Compensation was below market expectations, and there were concerns about hiring standards. Team members sometimes lacked the qualifications or skills required for their roles, and communication across departments was often unclear and inconsistent.
