Vantaggi
Flexible schedule, pet-friendly workplace (because you will be working all the time), room for movement (if you're in with the right side), telecommute options, incredible resume opportunity, real "in" to the industry Free shows for your venue. This is the job everyone wants but few can actually do, especially long-term.
Svantaggi
Zero work-life balance even though they really help try to get you there. Hours are long, unforgiving at times and very fluctuating. You're always "on." There is never a down time except for the two weeks between Xmas and New Years. The reason everyone gets those off is because no one takes vacation otherwise. It also was a yearly occurrence that shows needed to be prepped for onsale during this period. There's always someone better, faster and cheaper than you. It will try your patience and skill -- and sanity-- but it's amazing if you can stand it all. Work-life balance is pretty impossible.
