Pros

convenient location usually a fun group of colleagues Sales training Not many hassles if you have to take time off for personal reasons (look for better position)

Cons

Family run organization with son as Managing Director and Sister head of Customer service. Any competent owner would have removed both of them a long time ago with people who actually care that they are running a real company. It clearly feels like a boiler room operation that is only there to line the pockets of the limited partners and not really give the customers any real value for their investment. I was lied to in writing by one of the senior managers how much I was expected to make within a given period of time. I met my sales numbers and then just got an excuse why my commission needed to be cut. Employee happiness is the last thing on the company's mind. After being hired expect your commission to be changed for the worse after a few months of being hired. It happened every year that I was there. I know a number of people that work in the industry and the compensation is much better at other places. Yearly turnover of employees is somewhere in the range of 3 to 1. Unheard of with any company. Job is only good for those living at home with their parents with not a care in the world. If you have your own apartment, live with a roommate or have any sort of major financial responsibilities DO NOT EVEN think of working here. The amount of hours you have to work in order to be decently compensated you might as well work at an hourly wage job.

Pros

Pretty young workplace. Starting here gets you to really understand the words deadline and goals.

Cons

There is a lot of micromanaging. There aren't any raises in your base salary. You are only as good as your last event. If the company sees you're making to much money in bonuses, they'll make an addendum to your contract so you get less. It's pretty much a factory for conference production.

Pros

Money is good, if that's your only motivation to work.

Cons

I worked in IQPC Exchange (Tampa division) for less than a year, then left. I didn't work there for long because the work environment was extremely unhealthy. There was no sense of empowerment for employees, unless you were in the sales team bringing in lots of money. There was no appropriate training, just learn as you go. My manager was not understanding or helpful when I expressed concern over lack of guidance/support in tasks, and instead placed me in probation (less than 8 months into the job) as "motivation" to work harder without consulting HR first. I was constantly scolded for not lowering expenses in each event, but I was never trained on the event budget or on negotiating costs in contracts. I addressed these concerns, but was met with "it's not difficult, just tell them to lower the cost". If you know about working with vendors and contracts, there's more to negotiating then just asking to lower costs. Also, there is no real support from HR. The HR team was personal friends with some of the managers so issues were not really addressed or corrected. They instead turned into gossip among coworkers. Overall, I do not recommend working here. If you're seeking to grow as an event/operations coordinator, this is NOT the place!
