Work environment can a bit tedious. Feast or famine work schedule
- Former Employee★★★★★
Pros
Good company; great people & teams

No work/life balance. Not enough back of house support
- Current Employee, less than 1 year★★★★★
Pros
You get to learn a ton about the convention, tradeshow, and expo space of the events industry.
Cons
The pay does not equate to the amount of work and time needed to put it into a show. Work/life balance is bad. Very old-school office environment. The processes made to do perform the job are built for upper management to micro-manage your work.

Continue readingThanks very much for the review and especially for the advice to management! We will continue to keep our focus on building our culture, as you suggest -- and will keep working to be sure every one no matter where they may "sit" feels included, at every opportunity!
- Former Employee, more than 1 year★★★★★
Pros
You can learn a lot about events industry
Cons
No work -life balance. With full-time 40 hours week contract, we ended up with 200-250h per month and expected to always work on 150%. This is due to hugh turnaround of people. My team changed three times during 1,5 year. They never have enough people or hire people who are not able to handle the job. So you always work for 2 people at least. Management is not nice at all and what you get for job well done and making milions of euros? Oh yes, sandwich as a reward.

Pros
Great people to work with, fun job, not micro-managed, good work/life balance, trusted to do your job well, independence, overall great company. I feel I can make my career here.
Cons
Long hours during shows, working with multiple temps who don't always work well, but can't always fill temp quota needed, low yearly raises.
