Pros

Best in class for what they do, with stronger customer focus than employee focus. ESOP is a plus.

Cons

Field offices are better run than corporate function; unconventional management practices, uneven application of existing policies, seemingly arbitrary and high-dollar decisions without solid business case, over-emphasis on trends and initiatives versus solid long-term forecasting and planning. Infrastructure untidy and technology cobbled together. Multiple challenges and obstacles getting assigned objectives met.

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.
