      Pros

      Being part of a small trade publication within a larger company (Emerald) means there is a lot of room to make an impact and have your voice heard. If you are interested in the subject matter it is a nice niche where you can make a lot of industry connections.

      Cons

      A lot of different and shifting responsibilities and tight timelines. A fair amount of turnover with junior staff because teams are so small there isn't much room for growth.

      Thank you for your review. We are pleased to hear you had a positive experience in your role as an Editor, and achieved exposure in your industry—that is definitely one of the key perks of working on one of our b2b publications. Typical of any editorial environment, we are deadline-driven, so the timelines are not unusual. As we continue to grow as a company, we foresee more opportunities for our junior staff to move both within their team and cross-functionally.

      Pros

      Summer hours were great.

      Cons

      Top down management style which didn't allow for creativity or flexibility. Set unrealistic sales goals.

      Emerald does not care how much extra work they give an employee, does not listen to the teams when communicating the issues going o, does not compensate for time spent working. They fail to look at the overall picture. They only step in when things are bad. They need closer communication with the teams and the businesses. They make promises they dont keep to employees.

Emerald Expositions provides opportunity in a fun and exciting industry, with competitive pay and benefits. We find it disappointing that you don’t see any pros to working for our organization.
