Pros

Pretty cool people mostly. Can get lucky with really good managers. Decent pay if you can negotiate for yourself like an adult lol. Free food

Cons

Most starting technicians are not very skilled yet and dont understand the physical demands of the job of being an AV tech. Find another career if you cant pick up a projector by yourself. A lot of call outs No real brand identity or culture. Very obvious in day to day operations. Poorly maintained equipment. Too much down time. Hire a few full time leads and techs at 45-50hrs a week and contract out the rest. On top of that the hotels are all terribly managed operationally and event managers at hotels dont understand AV like producers in other environments.

Pros

-simple work environment -a lot of down time (I've been to multiple properties and this is common) -decent 401k matching/health benefits/travel compensation Varies on location* -easy re-scheduling/pto -easy going management -a lot of optional overtime available (most of it will idle time for events) -free meals and random items/equipment -you can prioritize your freelance gigs over your actual work schedule

Cons

-pay could be better but corporate/management limits you on career promotions/raises here (unless you relocate over half the country) -middle management a bit too relaxed so you might end up overtaking your co-worker's (even management's) responsibilities -false promises from corporate -they hire from outside instead of promoting from within -tasks are easy and menial since you'll learn fast -they no longer help reward/sponsor for getting certifications -you'll hit a wall where you want to do something bigger after 2 years here
