Pros

Good work experience Ok salary

Cons

Pay structure is set up to avoid paying sales what they've earned. It is paid out in 3 parts. 25% of estimated commission at booking, 50% at 70% billed and paid, and remaining 25% trued up at 100% paid. The larger projects may be several years long, so sales will not receive the majority of their money. The initial estimated profit is always lower than actual profit because the office is measured on actual vs estimated profit. When the salesperson is nearing finally collecting commissions from years prior, they may be laid off to avoid paying large commissions. Then AVI-SPL will rinse and repeat. Not a surprise so many in AV industry are former employees.

Pros

Regionally dominant, opportunity for growth is there. Steady work, and management seems to let onsite techs do their best without micromanaging. The service team is top-notch if you ever need to lean on them.

Cons

Benefits. they need to address benefits to help retain top-end talent. PTO and vesting schedule is a little weak. LOTS of middle management in some areas. Health prems and 401k match are also not so great
