      Pros

      Great work ethic top to bottom. One of the highest regarded stagehand unions in the country. Local 16’s where it’s at!

      Cons

      The only con that comes to mind would be that this job can be quite seasonal. There’s work when there’s business in town and when there isn’t work is scarce. There’s never too long of dry spells though, San Francisco is busy and 16 is on top of it.

      Pros

      Good pay when you can get work, good people to work with. Variety of interesting venues.

      Cons

      Work is random, you usually aren't given the contact info of your stewards so it can be hard to find the work location sometimes.

      Pros

      money and a few decent folks. Note, ONLY a few. more nasty than kind.

      Cons

      awful nepotism in every area. Women only get graphics position on show calls and those women are wives, girlfriends, cousins.....99% white men on all show calls. It makes you ill. they force anyone who isn't their wife, daughter, cousin into labor only. the body can only do that so long. Have an education? AVOID. it will kill you to have your intellect ignored b/c nepotism. Also the DEI group does nothing and is fake.
