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.
