Pros
Pay has potential to be decent Paid training and licensing Engaging You interact with a lot of people and will definitely meet some good people Free coffee Paid breaks Pretty easy work once you get the hang of it and there is a period of about 3 months to a year in where you start getting confident but haven't started losing your mind yet where it feels like you're making easy money.
Cons
Pay is likely to not be great, especially when you start and until you have the hang of things to consistently hit performance bonuses. Day to day expectations can be unpredictable and demand you to be all over the studio with little to no notice. Expectations in general are often unclear and constantly changing. Hard to put down pros because many of the quality of life perks are subject to be taken away. For example: I came into the company being pitched as a European work culture that cares about work life balance and frequent breaks, then left the company feeling like I was being run into the ground every day. I was lucky to have more than 40 minutes of break time in 8 hours and if I didn't get a full break I was basically told that nothing could be done. Antisocial dynamics with coworkers are encouraged through rules that severely punish you for even a few words exchanged with coworkers on the floor. Rules like the above also are not consistently enforced but cover a wide net of common human behaviors while on camera, so you never know when they could pull something up and write you up for it. Meaning that even after you have tenure and experience with the company and feel like you're good at your job, you could easily end up out the door if you don't walk on eggshells. Upward mobility in the company is questionable. Unqualified candidates move up into management or higher positions while there are good, reliable employees who interview and get nothing. As a result, you will have incompetent managers. Many don't care and just show up to get a paycheck, others want to do a good job and just don't have the resources or qualifications to succeed. In general it feels like they do hire just anybody to get bodies on camera and don't seem to respect that there is skill required to do the job well. Because of them hiring just anybody to do the job, there is a revolving door of new hires coming and going. Which spikes tippable hours with dealers who aren't pulling their weight in tips, then causes steep staff shortages when they fire people. On top of that, the shortcomings of a few reflect on all. So even if you are a good dealer who shows up to work everyday, being where you're supposed to be when you're supposed to be, and you do your job well; you will often times be treated the same as the lowest common denominator by your superiors.
