Pros

Decent work life balance because they don’t foster any sort of loyalty so you have no incentive to do extra hours

Cons

Everything about this business is unethical and deeply flawed. To start with, the company culture is incredibly toxic. From favouritism and bullying to harassment and mirco management, they truly have it all. Not only have there been upsetting incidents between employees, but it is the management who truly perpetuate this appalling attitude towards their staff. I never felt respected or valued as an employee and could not believe the way that people were treated. The salaries are low, there are no employee benefits, commission is poor and there is no WFH or hybrid working (unless you are one of their favourites). Shocking and unreasonable. So many of the business practices were unethical. From contacting people using fake names and profiles to fake positive glassdoor reviews to recording phone calls without the knowledge or consent of the caller, the practices there are a disgrace. Furthermore, many of the systems and processes are outdated and inefficient.

Pros

I am really enjoying my time at GIC. The biggest pull for me as a sales professional is that it's uncapped commission. I havn;t found that in many places and it makes a massive difference. The conferences are high quality, so that helps in sales obviously and the production team do a great job getting the speakers on board. Account managing all the sponsors on the day is so satisfying. The office atmosphere is great and I love my team. I have always found Jane and Elena, and the senior managers to be supportive and helpful if I ever have any questions. The team is really great and a lovely bunch of people. It's a great place to work if you are a positive person. You each have your own events in each team, so it feels like you have ownership over your own events, which is good. Everyone leaves at half 5 and people are always going for lunch or the gym or drinks after work. It's just a nice place to work.

Cons

Sometimes the outreach can be a little repetitive, but I get that's what it takes to get the leads.
