Pros

-Nice office location -Coworkers are friendly -Ability to travel is a plus

Cons

-Intense budget cuts led to lack of basic resources needed for shows to succeed -Lack of resources stifles employee creativity and ability to "think outside the box" -Upper-management's #1 goal is to please investors and therefore sets unrealistic sales goals for employees (nearly every employee in sales I've spoken to agrees) -Little transferable job skills, lack of any formal, professional training.

Emerald Response

As we have grown quickly over time, we recognize that company culture has been a work-in-progress, but it is being looked at seriously at the top level with great consideration for our employee value proposition. We have created a Sales Operations teams specifically to focus on revenue goals and pay to ensure we are measuring and compensating our employees accordingly. It is unfortunate that you have felt a lack of support in achieving your goals. We encourage all employees to have open dialogue with their managers about workload and resourcing. We are glad to hear you enjoy friendly employees and travel, both of which are positives we hear from our employees over and over again. Thank you for taking the time to provide your feedback.

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.
