I've never seen a locations p.a yell rolls and cuts. Also they don't touch another depts gear ever..also non union shows are a no no for me (they usually don't have a budget for basic insurance and other necessities)

My dad is the location manger 😊❤

[@MuckerInMotion]

Never... and I mean ever work a non-union job if you're working in Locations. The only reason to be in Locations is to become a producer and nothing looks worse than doing non-union stuff. Stay an ALM and meet a lot of people. Also the male PA is annoying.
