      Pros

      If you enjoy being "thrown under the bus"...this place is for you! Not only do you enjoy the 90 plus days to wait for your payment if you freelance or a supplier; you can also rely on the upper management completely withdrawing support for any issue while pretending to be "family-like"

      Cons

      i am only allowed so many words to describe the cons...do the math

      Pros

      - reasonable and understanding colleagues Any possible pros get overshadowed by inept management or HQ. HR seems overwhelmed or nonexistent, and willfully ignorant of basic standards. To note some management issues were more HQs fault but the manager had to shoulder the blame.

      Cons

      Obvious Generalities - high turnover - unable to adapt to change or good ideas - no trust in workforce - no training or growth - huge favoritism - lack of vision and ironically practicality Specifics - boss bad at delegating leadership tasks and not involved with the floor - events always planned on the spot and incompletely communicated - clients not treated equally and protocols always broken - lost so much money (and return clients) on bad customer service, and not because of the floor staff Heres the fun one The event coordinator told 6 people one thing then during setup something different. Change of sound boards (D-A,A-D), lighting layout, and entire room structure after it was built. eg. A large setup completed, just to change the orientation and in this case completely strike and setup. This was with a contracted worker that stayed well beyond their hours (and I am grateful).
