Pros

Lots of opportunity to learn alot and touch different accounts -- good first job out of college! Free coffee and soda. Great CEO. Young staff with innovative ideas. Big accounts names.

Cons

High turn over rate due to: Underpaid and long hours while traveling. Abnormal amount of work drama and politics! Hire (and they keep around) unqualified managers.

Thanks for complimenting the "lots of opportunity" and "great CEO" (smile). Meeting planning and especially incentive travel definitely has long hours onsite. We try to address tha by paying overtime to our specialists and comp time to our meeting managers. Mike May | President

Pros

Literally nothing. I wish I could give 0 stars

Cons

Where do I start? For starters, this company cannot retain employees to save their lives. They’ve had about 15 out of 30 people on the events side quit this year, all very tenured employees. The only people left at the company are very new. The tenured employees were forced to train, teach, and onboard all of these new people while also working 12+ hours a day with no overtime pay… how does that make sense? If you’re working less than 9 hours a day (again, with no overtime pay), you get frowned upon. Management does not want to do the work themselves, so they push it onto the people who actually know what they’re doing. Then, once those people quit, management acts shocked. They go from shocked to angry very quickly. The two weeks after I put in my notice, everyone was so mean to me. They wouldn’t look me in the eyes, talk to me, or acknowledge me at all. Leadership here is seriously a joke, very immature and obsessed with drama. Speaking of drama, this is the most drama-filled place I have ever worked in my life. There are definitely a few drama-starting specialists, but leadership is just as bad. I have never referred a friend to work here and never will because it is genuinely one of the worst places you could work. Be prepared to work long hours for the lowest pay possible. There’s a reason so many people have quit. Leadership does not care, even after countless employees have told them exactly what they’re doing wrong. At this point, they will hire anyone with a pulse because they are desperate. Seriously, if you take away anything from this review, do not work here. It’s filled with long hours, low pay, and catty people. Thank me later.
