Dream job turned into a nightmare in short amount of time...
Pros
Learned the most in one year than I ever have at any other company. Loved working the actual events from start to finish. Tons of exposure in the sponsorship/marketing realm. Position is very fast paced with a TON of moving parts, it was like owning your own small business or many small businesses because you managed everything from the box office, promotions, sponsorships, media buying, etc.
Cons
No training…of the job, of the expectations, of the processes. Day 1, I went through a 2-4 hour HR mandatory orientation and then was assigned my cubicle and was handed a binder with my first assigned market without direction, without training or guidance, etc. Spent the first couple weeks even up until the day I left without much interaction of my direct report. Very religious team, felt like an outcast because I didn't participate in weekly bible studies. Mentor pulled me aside to ask if she could pray for me and then proceeded to due so in the conference room. There is no growth opportunity. HIgh turnover!
