Pros

The only pros were my fellow co workers - if it was not for them I would not have lasted as long

Cons

Absolutely Everything! Do not believe any of the positive reviews on this website. How these people can morally justify themselves is astounding. This company does not care at all about its employees. As a previous review stated this truly is a sweatshop for millennials. It is sad how poorly managed IQPC is. Management are so micro managed it bleeds down to the employees. The HR violations that happen at this company are staggering. The pay is horrible as is the compensation. If there is any advice anyone can give it is do not work for this company.

I'm sorry to hear that your experience with us was not a positive one, and I'm disappointed that you chose to hide behind an anonymous review rather than address your concerns while you were still employed. I will be the first to acknowledge that we do have high expectations of our employees, and this can be a challenging environment for people who aren't willing to do what it takes to be successful. That said, with great challenges come great rewards, and we have many people who have been here for a long time and have grown professionally and personally with us, like many of your former co-workers who remain employed at IQPC.

Pros

Title: Great company to work for with an agile and talented team Pros: Working as a Portfolio Manager at IQPC was a great experience. The company is incredibly agile and has a strong ability to adapt to market changes, which is vital in the highly competitive events and conferences industry. This adaptability allows IQPC to stay ahead of trends and continue delivering relevant and high-quality events. The people here are some of the smartest and most capable I’ve had the pleasure of working with — it’s clear that IQPC attracts top talent and fosters a collaborative, supportive environment. One of the standout aspects of the company is how much they invest in their rising talent. There are continuous opportunities for development, and the performance-based pay structure is a great motivator. It not only rewards individual contributions but also drives the company’s success as a whole. This culture of incentivizing high performance was one of the key factors in my own personal and professional growth while there. Overall: IQPC is a solid company with a lot of potential for growth. The leadership is forward-thinking, the people are sharp, and the culture rewards results. While the sales team dynamic might not be perfect, it’s a small downside in an otherwise great work environment. Would recommend to anyone who thrives in a fast-paced, results-oriented setting!

Cons

Cons: Like many fast-paced companies, there is a bit of ego on the sales team. While this is somewhat expected in a high-energy, results-driven environment, it can occasionally cause friction between departments. However, this is something that can be managed with effective communication and collaboration. For junior staff it can be a challenging environment to meet deadlines.

Pros

people were nice enough to work with

Cons

I worked for SSON, our managing director liked to preach that they advocated for their employees, but I was let go, through no fault of my own per their words, after bad training and no real support for the new role I was taking on. Also, there is zero work/life balance despite being able to work from home 2 days a week, my team was exhausted and upper management did not care.
