Pros

Great new hire experience, starting with recruiter! She made me want the job even more. Positive interactions all along the way. Now that I've been working at Emerald for about 6 months, I'm happier every day. I enjoy working with my team as well as our impressive leadership team. Pros are definitely our participation in community outreach programs, small office feel even though we are a larger public company now and company outings. Seems they go the extra mile to make Emerald a great place to work while building a team environment.

Cons

Company communication from CEO would be appreciated more often.

Pros

Great employee perks- summer hours, flexibility to work from home at times, healthy snacks, employee events- Baseball games, outings, good people to work with.

Cons

Pay is not on the higher end, workload, poor communication from leadership, internal issues with company as a whole - a lot of poor morale which makes it difficult Day in and day out.

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.
