Pros

- Learn valuable skills in regards to processes, organization and ins and outs of corporate event planning. - The company is well known in the event industry - Make connections with several vendors and companies. Great for networking.

Cons

- Low pay for the amount of work that you put into each event - Disrespect from fellow employees - was told once that my recommendation was "stupid" - Not many opportunities for growth - you get pigeonholed very easily and it is hard for other colleagues to see your full potential. - Managers have direct reports, which is great for creating development plans etc., but most managers don't even have time to follow through with scheduled meetings - No real HR department - nothing is confidential and there is a lot of gossiping

Pros

Great team and fun/ relaxed work environment. Feels like you can approach anyone and everyone is super nice & Inclined to help. If you are hoping to go into Event Management this is a great opportunity to develop professionally in an incredibly conducive environment with industry professionals.

Cons

I worked there on a temporary contract and thought that I was doing very well. When it came to interviewing for a full time position I was given an interview and was told I interviewed very well. When the decision came out that I was not being brought on full time I was given a fairly obviously untrue reason as to why I was not hired on. No qualms as It was not my dream job, but as a young professional still finding my way in the professional world, I wish that they would have just been straightforward with me. I am perfectly capable of taking negative feedback and honestly just wish that they would have been honest and straightforward with me .
