Pros
Great location in Victoria. Large office, you will meet a lot of new friends who are always up for having a sneaky pint on a Friday.
Cons
IQPC has a very high turnover of staff, overpromises about training, bonuses and progression through the company. You will find that almost all of the senior staff members joined the company 4 or more years ago and IQPC was their first company. Most do not realise that the grass is truely greener elsewhere, Work in sales? If you are not consistant you will not last very long. But if you are a sales superstar, IQPC will look after you well. Producers get used and abused, very poor pay, low prospects of career progression. Do not be fooled by their revenue share promises, when starting out, you will be testing new and unproven events, most people do not see much of their bonus when starting out. Marketers also get used and abused, it is very common to see people in the marketing department working till after 8 or 9pm, non senor marketers will also get untested, small scale events and will be lucky to see much of their bonus. Senior management are stuck on 10 year old marketing techniques, there is absolutely no innovation, unless you are a monkey, you will not learn anything in the marketing department. Senior management decided to launch various web portals and charge the marketing department to advertise on the portals, this rarely returns a positive roi but all marketers are forced to use their marketing budgets here. Basically, the marketers are funding the development of the portals out of their own bonuses it is an absolute sham. Pretty much the only way you will get a raise from IQPC is by getting another job offer from another company, or threatening to quit. I do not recommend this company for anyone.
