Pros

Company allows flexibility in the workday Casual dress Decent benefits – Medical, Dental, Vision, 401K, PTO Many different types of projects/variety of the work

Cons

There are absolutely no career advancement paths for employees of all levels and functions. Company loves to talk about building bench strength but has no plan for the talents they acquired. Be prepare for career and salary stagnation. Tiny annual raises that are laughable even for people who received excellent performance reviews and during years of solid revenue growth. Risk averse corporate culture makes innovation almost impossible. Leadership maintains the slow and steady wins the race approach and is not actively guarding itself from possible disruptive market forces that could take down established business models quickly. Again, leadership wants to do the right things and says the right things but actual and meaningful change and improvements are not happening.

Pros

The pros were the per diem and the opportunity to travel. I really enjoyed visiting new cities and collaborating with kind, interesting people from across the country at different show sites. The pay was also very strong during busy seasons.

Cons

If you want to join a company where employees are undervalued, expected to obey rather than think critically, and favoritism is openly visible, then please avoid this company. The environment often felt heavily micromanaged at every level of leadership, with experiences of both covert and overt racism in the workplace. There was also a strong sense of competition and distrust among coworkers, where people would undermine one another for personal gain. Leadership and upper management appeared far more focused on optics and appearances than the actual well-being of the employees working on the show floor.
