      Contrary to what is stated, not a people or customer first culture

      Pros

      It really depends on your brand or team. Through acquisitions, cultures vary from brand to brand and team to team. Some great people, but not all teams are equal.

      Cons

      Shareholders and cost savings are king. Critical backfill positions are not filled at all or filled in a timely fashion, which is adding unnecessary stress to already overworked, underpaid employees.

      Your review and feedback is appreciated. Thanks for taking the time to write and post it. As you acknowledge, Emerald has grown through a number of acquisitions, and with that growth comes the ongoing work of building a unified culture across our family of brands. While this is still a work in progress, we’ve made significant strides since 2023, including a major of our pay structures and our talent acquisition team which will speed up the sourcing, interview process, and hiring of new candidates.

      Overall not good

      Pros

      Unlimited Time off (but good luck trying to use it). Many of the people that work on the show teams are great. Good for early career/entry level to gain experience and get some travel in.

      Cons

      Corporate “leadership.” Human resources (People &Culture?!?!?!). Attempts at company-wide programs i.e. diversity & inclusion, sustainability, have failed and seem like for perception only. Acquisitions and launches do not go well. Low-end and user-UNfriendly systems and processes. They just do a lot of things that result in resentment from employees and vendors; low morale is the new normal at Emerald
