      Operations doesn't pay - if you're going to be here, work for sales, get experience and leave

      Pros

      Travel on the company dime, fun coworkers.

      Cons

      Lots of drama, upper management has NO idea what is going on with "worker bees," operations works insanely long hours with little pay compared to competing companies and no room for upward movement. Popularity contest. Sexual Harassment. ZERO leadership. Upper management is the absolute WORST.

      Pros

      You get to travel for work a bit.

      Cons

      Management knows nothing about industry. They can care less about anything besides making themselves look good.

      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.
