Pros

Opportunity to meet C-level executives.Starbucks is located near by as well as some decent spots for lunch breaks. Konika Minolta on the first floor, go interview there instead.

Cons

Worst management you can think of in Tampa! No Sales training or process, everyone creates and manages their " leads" via excel spread sheet, because they won't spend a dime on decent CRM or their people. Majorly underpaid staff and constantly threatened. Everyone with a positive attitude eventually finds another job. They keep saying they are growing, but reality is that they have a very high turnover rate. Micro management every step of the way! Events are distributed based on friendships and chances are you will end up with the event that has never been sold before or had any marketing. Just avoid this company if you have any self-esteem. There are other event companies out there, if that's what you like. I am not just an angry past employer, every sales person here is looking for other opportunities.

Lacks Vision and Sets Unrealistic Goals for Employees

Pros

This is a great place to work if you just moved to the Tampa area. You'll meet a lot of outgoing and friendly people, who will be more than happy to show you around and invite you to happy hour. However, the bonds you make there are probably due to the hellish work environment you have to endure on a day to day basis. HR tries to have a positive morale by convincing the Managing Director to host holiday parties and celebrate special occasions. Nice holiday break is given during winter, but it does cut into your PTO days, which are minimal to begin with.

Cons

Where to begin? This list could go on for days. The Managing Director is the main problem at the Tampa office. He sets unrealistic expectations of the sales team, as well as other departments and has little insight on how to improve the performance. Instead, he publicly criticizes employees calling them "idiots" and "incompetent" on a regular basis via office-wide email or just a random raid through the office. Cubicles are moved regularly. I worked there for roughly a year and switched seats 4 times. The level of micromanagement is unreal. Most managers do not know what they are doing, and lead by fear and intimidation. Promotions are based on who is friends with who, more than accomplishments. But that's just hoping you make it past your first year. That is a rarity at IQPC in general. If you want to work in an environment where you are constantly scrutinized unjustly for things that are out of your control, and you enjoy spending sleepless nights hoping that your boss likes you enough to keep you employed for another week, then by all means work here. This may sound bitter, but it is not because I was fired. I chose to leave, although I saw several people who did not deserve termination walk out during my time spent at this office. I stuck it out for a year and put in my resignation. I chalk this up to experience. The positive take away is that I now know how to deal with horrible bosses, terrible micromanagement and I will know how to avoid these types of companies in the future.

Pros

There is a nice starting base and nice benefits. Clean office. They have a coffee maker but you have to bring in your own coffee.

Cons

Horrible management and SERIOUS micromanagement. Unrealistic goals. There is no sales people older than 40 and you won't last to 90 days if you are. Revolving door,
