Great Place To Begin Career. Long Term Option Only If You Want To Be Entry Level For Life
Pros
A great place to begin your career. They are very hands on with training on a near daily basis. Great people to work with. It is a very young office and just about everyone gets along. You will learn great skills like market research and time management. Best of all you build a great network in various sectors that include VPs and Directors at massive companies. Chris Ritchie is the reason I took the offer and is also the reason I stayed for as long as I did. He really is a one of a kind Director. It was a pleasure working there.
Cons
10000% High pressure role if you are in SPEX. (If you can't handle the heat get out of the kitchen) Employees are sometimes pushed too hard which can lead to burn out. Some poorly produced events make it harder for SPEX reps to sell on them. In the case that we were able to put money on the events, it was hard to retain clients due to lack of delivery on the event. Micromanagement Some favortism towards certain cliques from management
