Don’t Get Too Comfortable…

Pros

Decent pay. Good travel benefits. A good place to work if you want to get close to your colleagues as you’re traveling the country together. Team members, for the most part, want to see you succeed. It’s a fun position for someone who wants to see the country.

Cons

When i joined, i was green to the industry and to managing. The company threw me under a trainer who didn’t bother to train me right, and it wasn’t until almost a year in that i got picked up by someone else on the team to help me out. They prefer to throw their employees to the fire on site versus actually taking the time to train them correctly. I worked for the company for two years. Two grueling years of training every single day to know what i was doing. Right after my two year anniversary, i wake up one day to a VOICEMAIL telling me i was being laid off. After the time and energy i put into this place, i thought i was secure, valued, and safe. Not even hard work is enough these days. Management has no idea what they’re doing, the company is going through extreme changes currently and no one communicates the current state of the company’s operations. The future for this company doesn’t look bright. I wouldn’t work here if you’re looking for long term job security.

A Great Place to Grow and Learn

Pros

Excellent opportunities for growth and advancement for motivated creatives. Collaborative culture that values innovation and problem-solving. Tight-knit team of talented and supportive A/V wizards to learn from. High-impact work where you can see the results of your efforts in real time as the show comes together. Fast-paced environment that keeps you sharp and constantly learning. Off-season usually comes around the holidays (Thanksgiving through New Year’s), which is perfect for recharging and catching up with family before show season ramps up.

Cons

Like many growing companies, there can be occasional growing pains as systems and processes get ironed out. Busy season hours can be long, but the payoff is worth it when a show is a success, and the attendees are having a good time. Show life is fast paced, so recognition isn’t always automatic. Stay proactive in sharing your contributions with your leadership team and on company Teams channels.
