Pros

I learned so much in my short time at Vanguard Events Inc. Their entry level position is challenging and is not for anyone who is not willing to give 100%. Their leadership team is focused on growing new leaders from entry level and giving support to everyone at the office. I received advice and support regarding everything from my feet hurting after a long day to conquering my fears about networking to gaining self confidence after some past hardships. I gained skills that help me make the most of every work day and every situation. I am a more confident person and feel that any future success I have will be in part thanks to Meg, Mel, Azul and the other leaders that set an example as strong, independent and driven women.

Cons

Long hours and a steep learning curve make this job difficult for anyone who is not prepared. If you put in the time you can learn the information in the time you are given. I do recommend self care and making sure you are prepared every day.

Pros

In my opinion, one of the biggest pros of working with Vanguard Events is how it is truly a team environment. Everyone there is there to help you grow. They go out of their way to help one another hit their personal and professional goals. They host super fun team nights and accept everyone as part of the team from day one. Meg holds high standards to keep the office a positive and professional environment. The morning atmosphere is fun and inspiring. From day one they give you all the tools you need to succeed in this business, all you have to do is show up and work hard and you will succeed.

Cons

This completely depends on your outlook. If you're willing to put in hard work to see results then this is the opportunity for you. If not then I would look elsewhere because this is definitely the type of business where what you put in is what you get out, and I see that as less of a con and more of a positive.

Pros

Great atmosphere with very little turnover. The company only hires a couple people at a time and each one of those people get the same training as everyone else. The orientation process was very thorough, I was given a list of everything I would be taught in the first four weeks. The training managers are all very nice and welcoming and I like the team nights and volunteering they do outside of the office. I really how fast people grow in this company. I've only been in the company for four weeks and I've already seen three people promoted.

Cons

There are longer hours than most people are used to, they do staff events until 7pm however, no one works more than 40 hours a week. If someone wants over time they are paid time and a half.
