Pros

Salary, PTO, bonuses, fun office events, family environment. Never really had a moment where I felt genuinely unhappy with my job. Every person's experience is different depending on who he/she works for. Most attorneys I have worked with are willing to take the time and patience to teach you.

Cons

Nothing major that HR would not address accordingly. Just have to learn to not take some comments personally, but make sure they know you demand respect as a person.

Pros

Hmmmm....there weren't a lot. Salary and work life balance were okay.

Cons

I found Winstead to be a corrosive environment. There didn't appear to be high standards for the partners so associates who actually wanted to learn from someone smart were assed out.

Pros

Excellent opportunity to jump into the corporate world of events and gain a lot of experience - the attorneys are nice and typically easy/fun to work with. A nice way to combine an events job with corporate hours - less nights and no weekends. Nice variety of events that you work on.

Cons

Extremely cliquey with a poor definition of TEAM and you definitely have to "play the game" as someone else mentioned. A very "survival of the fittest" and watch your back mentality in this department. What's laid out as a plan to train and mentor you into a role is not necessarily reality. This is an EVENT position and has nothing to do with Marketing as a whole. Creativity is also legitimately frowned upon.
