      A Company That Listens, Cares, and Invests

      Pros

      I’ve been at Emerald for six years, and it’s been a genuinely positive experience. The company truly cares about its people — our voices are heard, and leadership makes a real effort to stay connected. We’re not an over-layered organization, so ideas move quickly and you can actually see the impact of your work. We are processed, but in a good way — structured enough to support productivity, not slow it down. And when things do get overly processed, Emerald invests in improving them. Right now, the company is going through a major transformation to streamline centralized systems, which shows a real commitment to progress. One of the things I value most is the transparency and open communication. We have monthly town halls where leaders share updates, answer questions directly, and listen to feedback. It’s rare to see that level of consistency and openness at a company this size.

      Cons

      Like any organization, there are challenges. It’s a fast-paced environment that requires some grit and an entrepreneurial mindset. You have to be proactive, adaptable, and willing to put in the work. But if you do, the rewards and opportunities for growth are absolutely there.

      Sad to see what leadership has done with the company

      Pros

      Good for entry level employees to get exposure to the events industry. Also they do a 401k match.

      Cons

      The company's sole focus is on numbers. Nothing else matters...employees don't matter, customers don't matter, and it seems that even the events don't matter anymore. The work culture is toxic and there is a strong "boys club" dynamic. Constant fire drills due to poor management.

      Pros

      All I have to say - coming from someone in HR, do not work here. Good pay and benefits only.

      Cons

      Everything else. You will not feel valued.
