Pros

The people at Got Light are amazing. So many smart and talented people who are passionate about what they do and delivering the best looking events and customer experience in the Bay Area. There is a lot of opportunity to work on different types/ sizes of events and opportunities for creativity.

Cons

The event industry can be hard if it's not for you but for those who like the hustle and the excitement off events, this company excels!

Pros

Management is kind, considerate and caring. They are very accommodating for part-time employees that are enrolled in college. During busy season, they sometimes provide meals.

Cons

Warehouse gets pretty cold in the winter.

Pros

- Some very detailed/complicated sets. It's cool to be a part of creative projects in upscale settings. - I like some of the systems they have in place, like the binders make things easy on-site, as someone who wasn't involved in any of the planning for events. - Some of the regulars are cool people. - If this is your first AV job, you may get sucked in and turned into a lifer. - They bring cases of water bottles to every gig which is cool. Also a meal is often provided.

Cons

- Some very detailed/complicated sets. Building some of the designs is a PITA. - Almost cult-like vibe from the managers and core employees. - It's not a company you can use to fill in gaps in your schedule with. You either commit and take all the gigs, or you get left behind. - They will try to book you like 2 months in advance for a half day and if you turn down too much of it they will phase you out. I get it, I'd be fine booking like a full week of day rates with a company months in advance, but just a single day that far ahead can end up losing you a lot of opportunity money. - Annoying use of specialized terminology for almost everything. - Orientation was a waste of time. - Not the best reputation in the bay area from past employees. - Sometimes too many people wearing the "project manager" hat.
