Pros

Gives a good insight into how the tradeshow/event management business works. Not a typical 9-5 office job every day. Involves light to medium amount of travel and touches on not only customer service tasks, but also marketing, logistics, sales and communication. Per diem & benefits are great.

Cons

Overtime hours can be brutal sometimes in fall and spring season. Not the most ideal job for family oriented people. Intercompany processes can be pretty outdated which might result in larger unnecessary workloads. If your colleagues leave/are fired - get ready to take on their workloads (because all of a sudden, rehiring for their spot is no longer 'in the budget')

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.
