Pros

Different locations, never a dull moment! If you like to learn and boost your skills this is a great way to learn the industry from super skilled professionals. Pay is very well!

Cons

If you are not familiar with Fast pasted or work then this might not be for you, lol. You are pretty much on call 24/7 not busy during December-January & end of June-mid August so put money aside for those months.

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.
