Reviews about "long hours"
Return to all Reviews- Former Employee, more than 8 years★★★★★
Pros
Great employees, my direct manager was great.
Cons
No room to grow in the company, low pay, long hours.
GES encourages career development by providing training to employees. Continuous Learning – We provide tuition reimbursement for professional development. Recognition Programs – Our recognition programs reward those who excel in a variety of ways, including raffles and cash awards for those nominated by their peers for outstanding performances. Thank you for taking the time to write this all out, and I'm sorry that you are feeling this way. I'm really excited about the culture we have in the Design & Exhibit Sales team at GES as a whole, and we have a deep commitment to continue its tradition as a place everyone feels welcome, valued, and enthusiastic about their job. That said, your concerns are absolutely heard, and we will take them to heart as we move forward. We remain confident that we are a mission-driven company with amazing people doing great work, and we are proud of our folks every day
- Former Employee★★★★★
Pros
Really good about working with your schedule. During down times there is alot of flexibility to take personal time. The trade off is that you are very busy during the busy times of the year (12-16 hr days for weeks at a time are not uncommon).
Cons
Long hours, working at any hour of the day. Much of the work is done outdoors or in non climate controlled convention spaces. Better not mind sweating.

Exciting, challenging, busy, fun environment with room to grow. Many offices throughout the country.
