I enjoy coming to work at Emerald every day, we have a very friendly and open-minded office culture. The senior management welcomes everyone to contribute new ideas for business development, and people work hard in our team.

The great spirit of team work is the key to achieve success in Emerald, everyone is connected and work together here. We celebrate a lot of joyful and successful moment together in the office. We have flexible work hours allows us to manage great balance between work and life. We receive great employee benefits. Emerald constantly promote its employees within the organization and help to us to achieve to the next level and support our growth within the company. Emerald provides training that helps employees to sharpen our work skills and stay connected within the peers in trade show industry. I truly appreciate Emerald, and I feel proud of being an Emerald employee.

Cons

We experience rapid changes of strategy due to external changes of today's global economy, which is not really cons but rather than the challenge of many companies are facing in these days. I believe we will continue to grow, with the support and leadership from the senior management.

Pros

Great new hire experience, starting with recruiter! She made me want the job even more. Positive interactions all along the way. Now that I've been working at Emerald for about 6 months, I'm happier every day. I enjoy working with my team as well as our impressive leadership team. Pros are definitely our participation in community outreach programs, small office feel even though we are a larger public company now and company outings. Seems they go the extra mile to make Emerald a great place to work while building a team environment.

Cons

Company communication from CEO would be appreciated more often.

Pros

Great employee perks- summer hours, flexibility to work from home at times, healthy snacks, employee events- Baseball games, outings, good people to work with.

Cons

Pay is not on the higher end, workload, poor communication from leadership, internal issues with company as a whole - a lot of poor morale which makes it difficult Day in and day out.
