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

Pros

- great network in the LA area - hours are rough but its the same across the industry - feels like we are part of a bigger purpose, clients seem to enjoy what we do - ability to transfer to other properties when needed - company is growing at a pace that doesnt seem crazy (another company in industry just had major layoff)

Cons

- hours are long and there are weeks that seem to never end - competitive business with many companies trying to poach - choose carefully on who you work for, the manager defines the position

Pros

Generic entry level AV work. It is what it is. Can't expect much from it, but it can lead to a fruitful career in the industry.

Cons

Pay, hours, management, and benefits
