Pros

Parking was plenty full and ground floor restaurant subsidised. Some colleagues were friendly and fun. Easy to get to by car.

Cons

Trying to shoe horn a McDonalds style of doing business into the UK. HR a joke. Staff going along with it as any show of non-conformance means dismissal. Losing so much money £millions a year. Can't last.

Pros

Work life balance can be good at times and then it could be horrible. Opportunity for career advancement is there if you wait it

Cons

Salary is not great considering the amount of work we do, plus salaried positions do not make any OT money when we have very long weeks working on show site. Yearly annual raise is 3% which is nothing. The only significant raise you can get is if you get promoted to a more senior role. Also the traveling becomes brutal when you are gone for 10 or more days at a time for these shows.
