Pros
Great people, a big company with a family like feel to it. Everyone I work with, including the bosses are ready and willing to help whenever needed. Full time, great pay and overall, an awesome place to work
Cons
No work in the summer time. Living in Arizona, you can imagine that not many exhibitors want to put on a show in AZ in the summer so work slows significantly.

When it comes to compensation, we believe that hard work pays off. As a “pay for performance” company, we offer a competitive base pay and for some roles additional incentive for strong performance. Our overall total benefits include many perks including a matching 401k and tuition reimbursement for eligible roles, sick and vacation time just to name a few.. Thanks for sharing your comments, we like hearing from you!
