Pros
Your crew is absolutely the best part of this place, and is without a doubt the reason anyone sticks around. You do get involved with some pretty impressive events, but you can get that anywhere. Paid on time every week.
Cons
Complete lack of communication from managers, blame is always shifted down, schedules are random at best, with you sometimes being scheduled for the next day while you’re asleep and being chewed out for sleeping in, don’t expect to have any time for friends, family, or even funerals (several crew members had to fight to attend family services), +15-20 hour days fairly common, +80 hour weeks fairly common, very low pay for the industry, management likes to pay people wildly different (usually unfair) rates and tries to bully people into not talking about wages to continue the inequity, can go months without a day off unless requested (can be denied), have to work shifts with less than 8 hours of down time uncommonly, but not rarely, little to no training from management, almost all of it will be a crew member trying to teach you on the fly, generally unsafe working conditions despite management’s vocal dedication to safety.
