Pros

Good coworkers, good business model

Cons

Owner is an alcoholic bipolar lunatic Poor starting pay Unsavory business practices, my salary was cut to 50% before getting laid off the next day, so that they wouldn't have to pay out my vacation time at my full salary. Should have filed a complaint w/dept of labor but I didn't want to burn the bridge quite yet. In hindsight, flame on.

Pros

- great network in the LA area - hours are rough but its the same across the industry - feels like we are part of a bigger purpose, clients seem to enjoy what we do - ability to transfer to other properties when needed - company is growing at a pace that doesnt seem crazy (another company in industry just had major layoff)

Cons

- hours are long and there are weeks that seem to never end - competitive business with many companies trying to poach - choose carefully on who you work for, the manager defines the position

Pros

Generic entry level AV work. It is what it is. Can't expect much from it, but it can lead to a fruitful career in the industry.

Cons

Pay, hours, management, and benefits
