Pros

If you are right out of college or want to start your career in events, then fine, this is the place to do it. Flexible hours, convenient location for commuters and a pretty independent working environment. You'll learn alot and take ownership of your projects.

Cons

Though the location is convenient for commuters, its also in an area filled with drug dealers and crack heads. The structure of company left me scratching my head often. Everyone works in their own way, there is no uniform process. Also, the events are cheaply done and I question the actual research that goes into each one. You almost feel like you are working for a "fake" company. Every month someone is quitting or getting fired, so serious on this. There is also ZERO office culture and the office itself needs some serious TLC, like does the company have money for basic up keep, decent supplies etc? Benefits are expensive. There is also a constant paranioa within production all the time, mostly due to the department head. He is too involved and has no consideration for anyone's timelines. He is very blunt, almost rude, and good luck complaining about him - it will go nowhere because senior management are all buddies.

Pros

One of the best places I've worked so far. People are treated fairly. They deliver a top notch event from top to bottom and execution-wise they are Pros who know what they are doing. ExL is run very well, good work is acknowledged on a daily basis and the teams are in constant communication. Very stable and professional, benefits and pay are always timely, the office is always stocked with supplies, the staff members and management are extremely reliable Company has an outstanding balance of holding people accountable while keeping employees motivated A great work environment with courteous, supportive, professional people to work with and senior people to learn from

Cons

If I had to say one thing it's growing so quickly there are hardly any seats left in the facility, maybe they should think about more space
