      Thank you for taking a moment to provide feedback on your experience as an Emerald employee. We are glad that some of our perks such as healthy snacks in the office, as well as summer hours, have been a positive for you. Additionally, the travel opportunities here at Emerald are a plus for many of our employees! Our sales positions have a heavy commission component to incentivize those employees. If you feel your commission is not achievable, you may wish to talk to your manager.

      Pros

      Rapid exposure to industry methods. Salaries are competitive.

      Cons

      Meetings on top of meetings. Growth and acquisitions are hastily done and transitions are not smooth. Everyone is a manager.

      Thank you for taking the time to provide feedback on your experience working at Emerald. It’s great to read that you consider our salaries competitive, and that you are gaining industry exposure. We recognize that being part of a company in rapid acquisition mode can be challenging. There is a great deal of research and planning that goes into the acquisition process, ensuring the decisions made are for the benefit of our organizational growth. Emerald believes in healthy work/life balance and we encourage anyone who doesn’t feel they have that to talk their manager or HR. Once again, we appreciate your candid feedback.

      Pros

      *Emerald has a lot of experienced leadership and employees that are focusing on making the business stronger and adding measurable value to all their brands. *Firm business model and understanding in the Tradeshow/Events/Conference industry. *Promotes employee growth opportunities and opened to Entrepreneur ideas. *Seeks and acts on all feedback from customers, vendors, and employees.

      Cons

      Emerald Expositions is a relatively new company made up of a few established tradeshow businesses and as it's grown, over the past 3+ years, you have growing pains. As the growing pains are subsiding the company is starting to flourish as an industry leader.
