Pros

At the time, pros included stock options and lack of micromanagement.

Cons

Executive Leadership pretty insular; little focus on feedback from customers until it was too late. Lack of understanding of how the industry and event was changing and inability to make timely changes.

Good dinners on show site

Cons

Upper management is slimy. Don’t bother working hard or meeting goals- if they don’t like you, buh bye!
