Amazing Company, Amazing Events - Poor Upper Management Empathy
Pros
Company culture great. Everyone really cares about their events. Work hard/play hard onsite culture. Everyone grows really close in a show team. Flexible work and working from home. Lots of travel opportunities Flexibility to stay in traveled to country for a holiday 25 holiday plus Christmas to New year off plus bank Holidays and option to buy 5 more days. Nice office based in Richmond and not city. Work for high profile and amazing leading events/exhibitions.
Cons
Pay is poor Professional growth low/no L&D budget Internal promotions low/no succession planning positions (they cut exec or deputy positions from the company). Annual pay increase less than inflation No great benefit perks other than travel opps and wfh. If you work onsite you do not get the hours back, only a weekend back if you work weekends. So you can end up working 15 hour days for the same wage. This massively affects operation and build teams. You cannot lower your hours if you need to support family. Did I mention pay rises were less than inflation?
