Pros

It would be a pretty decent job if you can get a gig in your area. Depending on a job, you'll typically work with a sales rep and a videographer - in my experience they're nice people, but there's little time to socialize. A simple meal is provided when it's a longer day of shooting. Best part: you get to be amazed by dancing skills of the competitors at those events.

Cons

- You're on your feet a lot, so make sure your back can take it, especially if you need to work for more than 6 hours on a single day. - If you're a freelancer and don't work with DRC on a very regular basis, don't expect to get paid fast. The company headquarters are in Canada, so if you're in the US, your check may take a few weeks to be delivered and then your bank will need another 2 to 8 weeks to process it. Your bank may also need to charge a fee for processing a foreign check. Ask DRC if they can do a direct deposit instead. - Jobs are few and far between because they have a long list of photographers willing to work with them - don't assume it will become your regular gig.

Pros

The work itself is fine. Coworkers are great.

Cons

Most work days are 15+ hours w/out regular breaks, and DRC expects employees to do extra pre/post production and meetings off the clock, despite offering a very low day rate. DRC claims to cover expenses, but they nit pick expense reports and deduct anything they don't like from pay. For example, they won't cover tips above 15% or valet parking (even if it's all that's available), or aspirin (after 16 hrs of blasting music). What's worse is that they are unclear and often dishonest about what will and won't be covered. They use cheap equipment and barely functional in house software. The rig frequently freezes during the marathon shoots, and any backup recovery is expected to be done off the clock. And as if this treatment and compensation wasn't bad enough, everyone working in management is rude and condescending. Just a terrible employer all around.

Pros

Traveling is the only pro to this job although you do not get free time to explore the places you are working.

Cons

Management is awful disliked by all workers and clients. They will pay you as little as possible and threaten pay for any mistakes made. The hours are insane and illegal with little to no breaks and consideration for travel times.
