Pros

Good company if you are management!

Cons

Although, I witnessed many departments with great mangament. The department I was in failed. Management lacks any type of skills whatsoever. It is ashame that the company went corprate so quick that it allowed many of the existing skilless employees to jockey into positions of authority. These indivuals micro-manage when they shouldn't and don't manage or oversee enough when they should. While some employees milk the system of overtime by coming in when not needed, since they aren't overseen by anyone, they rack up empty hours of time to clients which cost them and take away from the companys bottom line. However, If you like to polish the rusty sheriffs badge of upper managment, then you might make somewhere.

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.
