      Upbeat corporate culture and focused environment

      Pros

      The interview and hiring process was thorough. All details of the job and the company's expectations were explained. The management teams are friendly and you feel welcomed immediately. The pros definitely include the upbeat corporate culture and welcoming nature of all employees. The office environment is bright, the employees are friendly and there is an open door policy with all. As a new employee (2 months), I already feel like a part of the family.

      Cons

      There needs to be a training process in place, whether you come with experience or not. A training and development process over the first 90 days will help each new hire really adapt to the companies processes and will eliminate unnecessary errors.

      We're glad to hear the interview and hiring process was smooth, and that you continue to have a positive experience in your role and with your local team. Our CEO has shared in recent Town Halls that training for our sales and marketing teams will be a priority in the coming year and for the future. We agree with you that new hire training is important. Thank you for taking a moment to provide your feedback.

      Very Negative

      Pros

      There weren't any PROS. Never paid on time and management was so negative. I absolutely hated this job. There was nothing that was done right and they will take money from you.

      Cons

      I have never been more displeased with a company in my life. Everyone was negative and even having great sales experience this job is not for that. If you love to be nit- picked, talked down to, over worked and underpaid then this is the job for you. None of the management seemed to ever care about the workers they were greedy and wanted money. Management brought politics into it and everyone was just downright awful. I have never hated a job more than this one.

      Emerald is a company with a long-standing history in the tradeshow industry, and we have continued to grow successfully over time. We hold ourselves to high ethical standards as an organization, and if you felt you were treated unfairly or did not receive payment in a timely manner, we encourage you to follow up with Human Resources. Unless you were working for Emerald as an Independent Contractor, you should have been paid consistently every two weeks.

      Pros

      Travel is fun and insurance benefits are good

      Cons

      Very clicky people! No room to advance. Management is very sloppy and inappropriate. They don't have enough room or desk's for everyone.
