No career potential. No work satisfaction. Look elsewhere.
Pros
Like many places in New York, you will find great people working with you.
Cons
Terrible management and work environment. In my first week, I saw a group of people walking out after being fired. This was something new to me and also something I became very accustomed to seeing in my time at IQPC. As a Conference Producer, you are often given event topics that have been rerun too many times, something that is a direct copy of a competitor's event, or just topically irrelevant. Unfortunately, most events are doomed to fail from their inception and all team members associated with an event are then measured on their ability to shine a turd. The turnover rate is exceptionally high which speaks to the corporate culture. It also makes it very difficult to produce anything of quality as you are constantly working with new people, often in the middle of an event launch.
