Pros

The managers and colleagues are great, and there's always a laugh between all the hard work.

Cons

Often asked to work extra hours (paid), senior members of staff are terrible at responding and helping staff and management. A good fraction of new hires leave after the first day at events, almost always understaffed and disorganised.
