Cons
1.Harsh Working Conditions You need to work outdoors and take the risk of sunburn, heat stroke, severe fatigue…Most of your time will be spent on construction sites. However, working on a construction site is actually pretty easy compared to working on a drone show. As for drone shows, you will need to work overnight on muddy lawns or wet beaches. And what you do at first is basically physical work, such as carrying the boxes and equipment. The unpredictable weather makes it even worse. When a storm comes, you will rush to cover all the drones and it’s always chaotic. Sometimes the rain could last up to a few hours, you can do nothing but wait in the tent. 2.Excessive Overtime Working overtime is always, no overtime pay and no compensatory days off. This happens a lot especially during the drone shows. Start working from 8:30am till late 7am the next morning, but you still have to go to the office the next afternoon. Your precious off days will be taken away if they fall during a drone show. 3.Low Wages and Benefits No AWS, no bonus, no commission. The company would only buy more drones using the money and squeeze the last drop of employees out. 4.Negative Working Culture Deadly silence in the office every day. The whole office is under the invisible pressure from the management. 5.No Career Progression Only if you are keen in learning about drone knowledge, there’s no chance for you to learn anything useful. Besides, the company has already become an event company and only cares about drone shows.
