Pros

- Really great team of executives and designers who work their hardest and do their best to please management and clients. Some of these people were the hardest to let go of. - Diverse clientele which gives you so much exposure to different kinds of events!

Cons

- Working hours are actually crazy. Leaving on time is never possible and frowned upon if you actually manage to. Management show no appreciation for the hours you put in and instead show very clear favouritism to certain execs and managers who under-perform, but somehow always get complimented. - Very unfair salaries. Higher salaries are offered to people with barely any experience because they come in on recommendation from management. They would rather pay to hire totally new people who are unfamiliar with the way they work instead of paying their long-term staff more. No loyalty! - Management think they are inclusive and “listening” to feedback but nothing is ever done. The team is afraid of voicing their opinions for fear of negative treatment after. Overall, a really toxic environment. - I can confidently say that most managers are incompetent and actually not ready to lead teams. I’ve met some of the most toxic people here, in particular a know-it-all local manager, who really treats the team with so much disrespect and screams at execs for minor mistakes across the office rather than privately

Toxic work environment due to toxic management

Pros

Projects pipeline and clients are great and interesting and you learn a lot of things very fast. Great if you want to know more about local events scene. CBO is also very knowledgeable and a great leader.

Cons

- Hr is lacking but new hr director seems promising - Designers and execs are great to work with. Create very fun environment. - But execs are mostly underpaid undervalued and overworked. Treated like robots with no respect and too scared to voice out their concerns due to repercussions - Management doesn't listen to the "lower level" staff. Thinks execs are 'complaining' when voicing their concerns. - super crazy long working hours, and horrible pay and horrible career progression - toxic environment where if you leave on time, you are considered a skiver
