Pros

Multiple satellite offices means a slightly less corporate culture. Fun and interesting work in the event business. Large player in the tradeshow industry. Company will be very successful and stable as the primary driver is revenue growth across all businesses.

Cons

Lack of recognition of Emerald Expositions as a brand means less job opportunities for future roles. The company strives to be middle of the road in everything, which creates a just ok environment. Middle of the road benefits, middle of the road culture. There is little that is interesting or progressive about how the company is managed. I would think Emerald will have a hard time retaining new talent in the future with antiquated business practices and rules in place.
