Pros

Good training ground for recent college grads, opportunity to travel, multiple industries served

Cons

At the end of the day, trade shows are a 20th century marketing vehicle...useful, but not as important as they used to be. Senior Management likes to spin accomplishments and company innovation, but it’s still a business just “selling concrete”. Lots of job protection decision making detrimental to long term health of company events.

Pros

-Depending on what team you're on, you get a lot of autonomy. (on the flip side, see con- if you're on the wrong team) -Good benefits -Fun events & Travel opportunities

Cons

-People getting laid off left and right all time. One minute you have a team mate and the next they are just gone. -Management is top heavy and operates like a fraternity -If you're on the wrong team every move is watched -Your job is NEVER safe -Imagine with the acquisition that was just announced by Apollo that the reason for layoffs was to become lean before transition. I would hedge bets that this will also continue to be a numbers game and positions are going to be uncertain -Sales plans are always ambiguous and there were even times where the plan wasn't out until several months into the year. Expected to sell over and above but didn't always have a sales plan to follow. It was always changing.
