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.
