Pros
If you're someone who likes to meet new people and work events all over San Diego, this is the place to work. You can end up working events far and wide around San Diego, varying from huge events like the Del Mar Fair, concerts and Padres games, to the small scale events like a taco Tuesday or bar promotion. The promo team is a bunch of young folk who can be very lively and fun to be around. Sometimes you can get free tickets to the large events, and get free food depending on what event you're working and how cool other vendors or the people who need the promotion are.
Cons
- With young people also comes young mindsets. Some of the people you end up working with are incredibly immature to a degree you wouldn't imagine. Even a handful of people who are older and *should* be wiser are in higher positions act juvenile, if not more than the younger folk. The leadership there is subpar and it is absolutely crucial to learn how to put trust in the team. There is an issue with superiority complexes in this environment, i.e. speaking condescendingly, not trusting the team and overall failing to give the respect that each and every person on the team deserves. - Mobility in this company is scarce. There are so many people who want to be on-air and only so few spots available. This place is somewhere you can get your foot in the door and get exposure, but expect to be there a few years before you even get close to getting an opportunity outside of promotions. - Scheduling is whack, they are times in which they will tell you that work starts at 12pm and ends at 8pm, but force a 3 hour break upon you. This is a part time job as it is, but they do not compensate you enough for that kind of crap.
