Pros

There is always work to do because of the many shows/jobs that are booked and the amount of clients. My immediate supervisor has done great things since joining the company. I enjoy working with this person, as well as some of the other employees.

Cons

Poor leadership. There is a person who has been with Live for a long time who has been allowed to be abusive to people - particularly in the warehouse. He constantly interferes with processes, belittles people (makes them feel like idiots), is grouchy all the time, is disrespectful, and is often yelling. He also doesn't give clear instructions, and then blames the employees when things aren't done right. Because of his style, it creates an environment where people are afraid to take initiative because they will be yelled at. People also make more mistakes on the job when they feel rattled. They start to believe they are incompetent when that's not the case at all. There are talented people who were hired to work at Live, and really want to be there. People aren't saying anything because they are afraid of being fired.

Pros

I freaking love this place! I love the employees. Very friendly. It is a busy atmosphere but you have to understand the job! That’s what they do! They thrive to be the best and that’s what they/we are! Can’t wait for next assignment! Did the color street in Arizona and boy it was fun!!!

Cons

Really have nothing negative to say about it.

Pros

Live Techologies install was a once in a lifetime opportunity. This was the greatest company anyone has ever worked for in AV. Nothing will ever compare to what we had from about 2014-2019. Everyone who has ever worked for someone else likely agrees. Especially anyone who was there when we were sold to the worst-ran company in history known as New Era.

Cons

Rusty broke off and renamed Live Technologies install division into SI-Technologies. Then sold it off to New Era technology. What a complete disaster. We went from the best company anyone has ever worked for to I don't even know what to call new era. Go look at their reviews. They're the laughing stock of the AV industry. It changed the lives of every individual on the Live Techologies install side - for the worse. We lost our good benefits, our total compensation package was reduced, 401K match was peanuts compared, lost our free gym membership through insurance, lost our health incentive checks, lost our bonus structure, lost our yearly raises (merit based), lost our culture, lost clients, lost almost everything. They changed from the BEST system anyone has ever used to the 100% absolute WORST system ever known as Connectwise. I hope Rusty knows - if he cares- that the company that he built or helped build turned into dust...
