Pros

Benefits package..That's about it

Cons

If you any talent in the entertainment business. Whether you are a lighting, Video, or Audio person. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME AT LIVE!!! They have a variety of clients yes, But Management and sales people choose favorites. The equipment is okay in certain areas. If you go on tour with one of their clients they do not pay you touring rates. The pay is crappy when you know you are worth more. The turn over rate is extremely high. People change positions, all the former employees I've talked with who I come across Consider LIVE TECH.. One of the worse companies to work for in Columbus. I ended up leaving them and going onto Bigger Things!!!

It is reassuring that you found your calling and are working on projects that are better aligned with your expectations. LIVE! is very pleased with not only our competitive benefits package (Health, wellness, matching 401k, paid time off, etc…) but also with the opportunities in the company for promotions and career advancement. Although these opportunities may not have lined up with your timeline, they are regularly available for employees who are dedicated to leadership, taking on new responsibilities, and advancing their careers. Since our touring team is employed throughout the year, these benefits and opportunities are available to them as well. Combined with an annual salary and overtime, our compensation package fills out to be advantageous to those seeking a long term career. Considering our reputation amongst technicians in our region, we have a very high rehire rate. Many who leave a full time position for various reasons, will return in either a part or full time capacity. Although our turnover is currently around 10%, exit interviews indicate that turnover is mostly due to opportunities in family businesses or with positions elsewhere that will allow them to continue working alongside our team on a part time basis. Regardless of the reason, LIVE! makes efforts to celebrate these opportunities and continues to keep in touch with our extended family whenever possible.

Pros

I freaking love this place! I love the employees. Very friendly. It is a busy atmosphere but you have to understand the job! That’s what they do! They thrive to be the best and that’s what they/we are! Can’t wait for next assignment! Did the color street in Arizona and boy it was fun!!!

Cons

Really have nothing negative to say about it.

Pros

Live Techologies install was a once in a lifetime opportunity. This was the greatest company anyone has ever worked for in AV. Nothing will ever compare to what we had from about 2014-2019. Everyone who has ever worked for someone else likely agrees. Especially anyone who was there when we were sold to the worst-ran company in history known as New Era.

Cons

Rusty broke off and renamed Live Technologies install division into SI-Technologies. Then sold it off to New Era technology. What a complete disaster. We went from the best company anyone has ever worked for to I don't even know what to call new era. Go look at their reviews. They're the laughing stock of the AV industry. It changed the lives of every individual on the Live Techologies install side - for the worse. We lost our good benefits, our total compensation package was reduced, 401K match was peanuts compared, lost our free gym membership through insurance, lost our health incentive checks, lost our bonus structure, lost our yearly raises (merit based), lost our culture, lost clients, lost almost everything. They changed from the BEST system anyone has ever used to the 100% absolute WORST system ever known as Connectwise. I hope Rusty knows - if he cares- that the company that he built or helped build turned into dust...
