Pros
Salary and benefits were pretty decent. I came from the same project manager position from a competing AV integrator and got a $30k bump for making the move. (On reflection I think that's much more of an indictment of my previous employer than praise for Visual Sound). Sadly that ended up being nothing more than a red herring masking the terrible experience of working for this company. One genuine positive that I am happy to share despite the rest of the negativity on this review is the large number of women in management positions at Visual Sound. The AV field is almost exclusively dominated by men so it is very refreshing to see how many women are in positions of power in this company.
Cons
Roughly a year and a half after leaving Visual Sound I still regard working there as one of the biggest regrets of my professional life. The company is 100% focused on sales above all else with no consideration at all about how projects will actually be completed once the contract has been awarded. Clients are promised the world by the project teams are left holding the ball with no resources to deliver the contract obligation. Installers, engineers, and PMs are overbooked and overworked beyond anything I've ever experienced. PMs and engineers are constantly fighting one another for resources resulting in some really shady backstabbing and infighting between (and within) the regional offices. Inventory ordered for and allocated to my projects would often turn up missing without explanation. Arduous searching through the archaic project/inventory database system inevitably would show that the missing items had been redirected through the procurement process to be used in other PM's projects without any notification or attempt to backfill the missing inventory. Attempts to get some explanation or recourse either goes nowhere or results in being admonished for the actions of others. Asking management a policy or procedural question results in 6 different answers from 3 people to the point that the same production meeting or training session often results in completely contradictory instructions back to back in the same session. Expect stress levels so high that you end up crying on the way home and vomiting when you get there. You'll eventually get fed up to the point that you don't care, leave, the next person gets hired, and the cycle continues.....
