      Thanks for your feedback. It's always difficult to read reviews that challenge us but it's important for us to hear from as many of our people as possible. At the time this review was written Emerald was going through a significant period of change. While this was tough for everyone we have now reached a point where our CEO and new leadership team have built a strong vision and are committed to communicating this with clarity. We've also reviewed our remuneration to align Emerald's pay structures with industry peers.

      Not worth it

      Operations coordinator
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      -Free food when working events -Free accommodations when working events -California ''Summer Hours''

      Cons

      -NO job stability -NO clear directions -Thinking you'll be out of a job any time because the first thing you hear in your first day is how they had just recently let 11 people go -Bullying within departments. Some employees will give you the stink eye, get frustrated and will 100% throw YOU under the bus in front of CLIENTS because THEY don't wanna look bad. Buddy, its not my fault you cant do YOUR job right -An overall feeling that they don't care about you as an employee DO NOT RECOMMEND

      Thank you leaving your thoughts on Glassdoor. We always welcome feedback even when it's not as positive as we would like it to be. Whilst our business has undergone some change, these shifts were delivered to create a more streamlined organisation. Restructuring is difficult and we understand the impact that this can have on all our people. We'll take your feedback onboard.
