      Thank you for sharing your perspective and for offering valuable feedback. We know our industries can be challenging, and that makes it even more important to have strong, consistent leadership in place. Over the past year, we’ve built a leadership team that is committed to driving Emerald forward with clarity, focus, and accountability. Just as important, we are working to ensure that how we lead reflects our values - creating an environment where colleagues feel supported, connected, and able to thrive. Building that culture is a continuous effort, and it’s one we’re deeply committed to.

      Pros

      Travel Benefits (they aren’t great) but they were when former CEO Sally was trying to turn things around.

      Cons

      With the current climate, emerald is pretty tone deaf when it comes to remote work. With a slow return back to full time in 2022.Other companies are offering full remote or hybrid and with what seems to be the overall trend at Emerald in office work is “required to do business” A company “for the employees” as coined by CEO Herve Sedky they have yet to show any proof of this statement. This is just another corporate job.
