Good, but room for improvement

Pros

The company has some great people working for it.

Cons

Long days of hard work, but that is to be expected. A few areas of improvement (1) They don't pay for parking. Every other AV company that I have ever worked for paid for parking. They are passing on their business expense to their employees. (2) If you meet at the warehouse/shop to go to a gig, you should be on the clock from the time you meet at the shop. Every other AV company that I have ever worked for pays you from the time you meet at the shop, not just the driver until you arrive on site. (3) Some of the older employees who are Design Managers are jaded and are quite rude to the newer people in the company. (4) Their hourly rates is kind of low. That is compounded by the fact that most of the gigs are hours away and they treat load in and load out as separate calls. You could be gone from your house for 21 hours. Subtract 2.5 hours each way for travel which you don't get paid for. Subtract 6 or 7 hours for the time the show is happening, and you're only getting paid for 9 or 10 hours when you were gone from your house 21 hours. Something's wrong with that.

Pros

Fun, open atmosphere. Not your typical work place environment. Very gracious time off & compensation policy. Innovative, creative, artistic, fast paced industry.

Cons

Severe lack of professionalism. Safety & ethics are questionable in field & warehouse. Ineffective leadership as an expanding business, no SOPs. Growth is horizontal, not vertical for employees & possibly entire company.
