Pros
Cvent does a great job of hiring ambitious and motivated college grads. I’m still very close with my old colleagues. The event industry can be fun with travel opportunities. Cvent’s event planning team always does an awesome job.
Cons
You salary will not be enough to live in the Northern Virginia area. If you live at home, you’ll be okay; otherwise, you’ll be living paycheck to paycheck. You could make more working at a non-profit or as a teacher in Northern Virginia, yet Cvent brags about its path to being a billion dollar company. Most middle managers are micro managers and will breath down your neck at every moment. There are some managers who are great but most managers fall into the category of “Reasons you will be leaving this job” Event planners are sociopaths so prepare for the most frazzled and unprofessional clients you will ever meet. The recruiters lie about as much as the sales team does, so get ready for false expectations from beginning to end. Cvent is treats employees like a revolving door and knows every year that a new batch will be coming.
