Pros
CBI hired me before I graduated from college and was my first full-time job. In this role, I've had exposure to so many responsibilities and was able to observe the inner workings of the company due to its relatively modest size. In addition to a competitive salary and a good PTO program, CBI also gave me opportunities to improve my time management, interpersonal, team leadership, professional public speaking, client-facing, organization and communication skills among many others. While my time here was cut short due to personal timeline changes, I am very glad to have spent my post-college time here. I feel invested in the company's performance and feel that the company is invested in mine as management has always made the time and effort to listen to what I have to say. The role of conference producer and, I imagine, most of the other positions here are very fast-paced and involve a significant amount of juggling. While this was a "pro" for me because it challenged me in a way I wanted to be, it may be a drawback for folks who would not function optimally in this type of setting. Lastly, as part of my role, I had the opportunity to work with high-level professionals at biopharma companies and to travel to my conferences and network with the industry. Not only did it expand my professional network, I was able to hone my ability to fluently and professionally communicate and work with people in different organizations, functions and fields who were my far seniors in age and a career, leading to my increased confidence in the working world.
Cons
The relationship between effort, loyalty and reward could be reconsidered. As it currently stands, employees who have worked here longer or have been assigned the bigger events tend to have an advantage that, while well earned, prevents newer and younger employees from growing and reaching their potential.

Pros
The pros of learning about the industry/events side of things if you have never done it before
Cons
All of them are CONs. Every CON people have written here is all true. I have personally experienced all of it and MORE. - Employees are treated like school children and scolded, bullied. They love it when we cower - Two faced management - you will know their true colors after a while - Some are racist (not to your face but you know from their behavior) - People are constantly under undue stress and seek therapy or leave - Most hostile work place environment I have ever been in - No work place flexibility. Even if you are 1/2 hr late you have to send an email to the entire company - Opposed to using technology to enhance the workplace. Rather rely on old practices and wonder why results are not good - Very strong and wrong "clicks" of people who gossip all the time - List goes on and on - Company president used to stand at the door and note times people would be in by for her own silly reasons. Would you like that? So save yourself from getting hired here.
