Pros
None whatsoever. That may seem extreme, but while AVI-SPL may be the company of choice for A/V integration, there is much that they lack in managed service. If you are a creative professional of any type, think twice before working under the AVI-SPL banner. AVI-SPL has acquired a video production company, so this may change in the future. As of now, I would not recommend this company to any creative.
Cons
AVI-SPL is full of dedicated A/V engineers. They do good work installing and creating A/V environments for their clients. AVI-SPL is expanding into the world of managed services, placing teams to develop content and run the equipment that they sell at client sites. I lead a team at a client site. After my first week, I felt I made a bad choice in moving to AVI-SPL. There were no provisions or procedures to acquire equipment and consumable goods. There was no roadmap to getting digital asset management or backup tools for editing booths. I had zero power to effect the systems or work of my team. In fact, I spent much of my first month dealing with a racist, homophobic, bully from another company that was to be integrated to my team. Before I began, AVI-SPL management reviewed this person and thought he might be OK to keep on. E-mails to the regional manager and our account executive went unanswered, or we were redirected back to the client. The AVI-SPL team was were very vocal in their lack of knowledge or ability in content development or management. However, they were suspicious of the relationship I developed with another team's producer.
