Pros

Remote opportunities. Unlimited vacation (but you probably won't use it).

Cons

This business is in the event business, but the planning for each event is unlike I have ever seen. Bloated, convoluted with terrible onboarding and training, this is your typical corporate environment that functions on inefficiencies and "it's not my job-isms."

We are always keen to gain insights to employees' experiences of working within Emerald. We know that our recent restructuring has been tough for our people. But we are now in a much better position to fulfil our long term strategy which we'll be working hard to communicate over the coming months.

Pros

-Depending on what team you're on, you get a lot of autonomy. (on the flip side, see con- if you're on the wrong team) -Good benefits -Fun events & Travel opportunities

Cons

-People getting laid off left and right all time. One minute you have a team mate and the next they are just gone. -Management is top heavy and operates like a fraternity -If you're on the wrong team every move is watched -Your job is NEVER safe -Imagine with the acquisition that was just announced by Apollo that the reason for layoffs was to become lean before transition. I would hedge bets that this will also continue to be a numbers game and positions are going to be uncertain -Sales plans are always ambiguous and there were even times where the plan wasn't out until several months into the year. Expected to sell over and above but didn't always have a sales plan to follow. It was always changing.
