Pros

This is a fast paced company that keeps on the cutting edge of the meeting and conference industry. They are very result oriented as opposed to hours oriented. So, one week you may put in 30 (for full time employees) and then another week 50-60. They even out very well and I love the freedom they give to perform your best.

Cons

Career paths are not totally clear. It takes time to understand the culture and it is difficult to move up. As with many larger organizations, you have to be able to play to the politics and know the right people to get the right promotions.

Pros

Work life balance can be good at times and then it could be horrible. Opportunity for career advancement is there if you wait it

Cons

Salary is not great considering the amount of work we do, plus salaried positions do not make any OT money when we have very long weeks working on show site. Yearly annual raise is 3% which is nothing. The only significant raise you can get is if you get promoted to a more senior role. Also the traveling becomes brutal when you are gone for 10 or more days at a time for these shows.
