Pros

I absolutely love working for VidCon. I've been seasonally contracted for the last couple years, and it's genuinely one of the best events I've ever worked at. The company treats its contracted staff incredibly well - flights, hotel, car service to/from hotel and airport, and meals all paid for, good hourly rate, and the relatively small number of staff creates a tight-knit community very quickly. I'll keep coming back as long as they'll have me.

Cons

Long hours (~12 hour work days during the event), and you have to deal with a lot of people (the event has 20,000+ attendees). If that's not your thing, it might not be worth it. There's also not a whole lot of opportunity for promotions if any.

Pros

Every person on the team was one of the best people you could ever hope to work alongside, not just in their excellence at their job but as fellow colleagues doing high pressure work, the team was second to none.

Cons

Parent company ownership can either have no impact at all or a ton of impact, and when left to it's own devices to put on world class events, I can't think of anywhere better to work than VidCon. With multiple changes in parent company ownership over the years since it was first sold, the freedom to allow that team to do their work can fluctuate greatly based on forced arbitrary choices such as outsourcing in-house work to the lowest bidder to "save money" but then in actuality it causes the core staff have to put in more time and effort to make up for the loss in services, simultaneously adding work to everyone and making it harder to get things done. This impacts certain teams more than others.
