Pros
My experience at Visual Sound has been undoubtedly a positive one. There are some truly incredible managers onboard here and I have co-workers that have become like family to me. The CEO is exceptionally hardworking and passionate about the AV industry. She works around the clock and is on-site every single day, which is rare to find in this day and age. Contrarily to some CEOs I've dealt with during my career, Karen will always show up for her team and won't hesitate to get her hands dirty. She knows the in's and out's of the industry and that can be intimidating for some people, especially as a strong female in a male-dominated industry. You can't fault someone who wants their employees to share her strong work ethic, represent VSI well, and partake in her unwavering determination to succeed. There's a reason why VSI has been in business for 60 years and has been successful in building a large, loyal client base. If you've ever worked in AV, you'd understand that it's incredibly difficult to succeed in this industry and there's significant competition. You have to be able to compete with the heavy hitters out there and she does just that. She will not tolerate anything less than the best and has established a savvy team behind her. Personally, I find that something to really respect.
Cons
None that I can think of.
