Pros

IQPC took a huge risk on me. They provided me with an opportunity straight out of college with no experience whatsoever and really trusted me. I will never know how to express how grateful I am to Chris Ritchie for his leadership and training because it has given me an opportunity for a job I never thought I could get at my age.

Cons

The base salary. I liked traveling to my event and it would have been better for my career to go to one earlier so I understood my product.

Pros

Learn about many various industries, nice friendly co workers in their 20s-30s. Good location -midtown, near grand central....that's about it.

Cons

Well to start- they completely MISLEAD you about the potential income and commission you can make here. They sell you DREAMS about uncapped commission and in the end the whole team barely hits 20k steady. If you are a true SHARK BEAST sales person with solid experience - STAY AWAY. It is an unstable financial rollercoaster from HELL! Lets talk numbers- it may take MONTHS to reach 20K in sales with a super low base pay- this is NYC??? who will survive on that? NO ONE!!! Calls are also tracked daily which is fine but then everyone focuses on Quantity NOT Quality which is a HUGE problem and helps NO ONE make money! High revenue events are NOT distributed FAIRLY which results in ridiculous numbers on the board with some having 20K in a week and others with 0-3k- I DONT THINK SO! Also I clearly asked is this a COLD CALLING job? They said NO-guess what? They LIED yet AGAIN! You cold call ALL day PRAYING someone picks up and turns into a somewhat responsive lead. The events sometimes are good sometimes are dead and they still ask YOU why you have no numbers on the board? Are you kidding?

Pros

IQPC is gives employees the chance to gain in depth knowledge about the hottest industries and markets due to the extensive research work that backs up each and every conference the company runs. In addition, because the company deals exclusively with senior level executives, it opens up unparalleled networking opportunities for its staff. Work environment is a fast paced one with lots of creativity and idea development going on. In fact, there are financial rewards for those who develop topics into products. Most of the staff are young, vibrant people who work hard and play harder. Skill development is key at IQPC. The company invests a lot of time and resources training employees to ensure they are as sharp and effective as they can possibly be. I worked in sales and can tell that the knowledge and skills I have acquired during my time in the company I wouldn't get anywhere else.

Cons

This relates more to the industry than to IQPC itself, but the company basic relies on pulling ideas out of thin air to turn them into commercial conferences. A topic that is hot today may not be as hot tomorrow, events that are very successful one year may be a complete failure the next because of external market factors. Even though this is what makes the job interesting, learning about one new industry or market every month in order to be able to sell a new product to an entirely new audience is sometimes a bit tiring. Also, the work involves a lot of long hours in front of a computer screen, which is something I'm not personally a fan of.
