Pros

Good work, Good people. If you can get on the inside, there is a chance to move up. Unfortunatly, someone needs to leave above you before that happens. Very little cross movement between the companies.

Cons

Management is an old boy network. No longer a family business. Political manuevering is the norm. It's more about who you know.

Pros

This is a fast paced company that keeps on the cutting edge of the meeting and conference industry. They are very result oriented as opposed to hours oriented. So, one week you may put in 30 (for full time employees) and then another week 50-60. They even out very well and I love the freedom they give to perform your best.

Cons

Career paths are not totally clear. It takes time to understand the culture and it is difficult to move up. As with many larger organizations, you have to be able to play to the politics and know the right people to get the right promotions.

Pros

Lots of great creative people to work with, the perfect place to start if you are a recent college graduate.

Cons

Long hours, promotions seem to be based on who you know (your family connection) not what you accomplished, no real path to career development, keep non productive angry managers on instead of letting them go. No real work/life balance. The CEO is completely different from when I worked there so maybe the culture is different.
