Pros

They hire people with little experience. It is a good job to get your foot in the door. It is a small company, if you like that short of thing. It seemed that they were giving a lot more telecommuting positions-- which is good, because it is a job you can do completely from home, although when I worked there they really didn't want us working from home. You do get some autonomy in your job, like when to take your lunch, being a bit creative in getting more employees, etc. You get 10 days of paid vacation (but you have to accrue them, and you get 0 sick days-- so going to the doctor, getting sick, taking care of errands all end up eating most of your vacation day, once you are even actually able to accrue enough time to take a day off). They have holiday parties and random special lunches. No weekend work.

Cons

When I look back on my time there, I was often unhappy, but I will say I think it had a lot more to do with the clients and people one would hire/manage than the owners and supervisor. The industry (brand ambassador work) just attracts people that are flakey, and unfortunately you are held responsible for this. Additionally, the company often didn't pay competitive wages for the industry, and even if they did, they paid very slowly (it took a good month+ to get paid) and they snail mail the checks (no direct deposit). I think this used to be standard in BA work, but times have changed and people no longer need to be used to waiting so long to get paid and in such an archaic way. (if you actually work for Flair events, this is not the case, but the people that you are hiring, this is the case, so a good part of your job is dealing with these issues). Flair Events is a small company that has a few employees that have worked there forever. On the flip side, that place is a revolving door for new people. I worked there for a year and people were constantly in and out of that place, and I mean working there for a week to a few months and just never showing up again. Anyone who wasn't helping run the show hated the job.The people who have been there forever are the people that run the place, and they have a very old school way of doing things. Additionally, the owners have the old school view of employees that is, essentially, employees don't want to work and you have to whip them into shape, while also being completely absent most of the time-- they were either micromanaging and spying on you, or you felt completely without supervision, which is very strange. They don't speak to you about your performance unless you screw something up. I often felt like I had 3 separate bosses, all with the conflicting wants which is incredibly stressful-- again, more to do with the client than the owner. They pay very poorly-- although, I will say that they seemed to catch on and started paying people more as I was leaving. When I started looking for other jobs, i couldn't believe how much more I would make with far less responsibilities. Also, there wasn't really any growth-- it is a small company, and you are pretty much stuck in the position you have.

Pros

You will work with great people and establish good relationships with clients and colleagues. The atmosphere is very focused on efficiency and professionalism.

Cons

There wasn't enough money in my client's budget to do as many demonstrations as they had previously told our team they wanted (we exceeded their goal with over 1000 events per month). I had to wait a month with docked pay and part-time hours (I was hired on full-time originally) so that contracts for the products we sold would be reviewed and renewed. Unfortunately, one of the products we had begun selling for this client was given to another event company, there was not enough work or money in Flair's budget to keep me on the team for more than 16 hours a week.
