      Terrible Upper Management

      Associate director marketing
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Remote opportunities. Unlimited vacation (but you probably won't use it).

      Cons

      This business is in the event business, but the planning for each event is unlike I have ever seen. Bloated, convoluted with terrible onboarding and training, this is your typical corporate environment that functions on inefficiencies and "it's not my job-isms."

      We are always keen to gain insights to employees' experiences of working within Emerald. We know that our recent restructuring has been tough for our people. But we are now in a much better position to fulfil our long term strategy which we'll be working hard to communicate over the coming months.
