Pros

I had been on the hotel side prior to joining HelmsBriscoe and had always considered what a career with HB would be like. The commission structure scared me, but I needed to find remote work that would allow me to spend more time with my family. It took me 2 months to get my first client, a total cold call, but after opportunities started trickling in. I worked part time at a furniture store during the week as I got the business started and in 6 months I was ready to dedicate my full time to this. There are plenty of tools and resources to help get you clients and the support from leadership is really encouraging to help get new clients, go through contracts, etc.

Cons

Commission Only is daunting and stressful in the beginning stages.

Pros

HelmsBriscoe offers a rare blend of autonomy, flexibility, and supportive leadership. You’re empowered to run your business while knowing you have a team behind you that leads with clarity and integrity.

Cons

The role is fully commission-based, which may feel challenging for those who prefer a more traditional compensation structure. However, for self‑motivated individuals who enjoy building long-term client relationships, the earning potential is significant once you establish your book of business.

Pros

Learn about the hotel industry, meet some cool people in the events world

Cons

HelmsBriscoe does nothing and takes half of your commission. They also won't help you collect any past due funds, they won't do any marketing, they don't send you leads, they don't do anything, except let you use their name. It's not all it's crack up to be after you join. You realize you get throw in with the sharks and see some associates get treated with favoritism as they get assigned top big name group accounts, where they work in groups. Then all divide up the commission for big companies that do a ton of events. The associates that get asked to join are only asked if you are someone's friend or favorite if you didn't originally find the account. I suspect that's one reason some of the people make any money. But if you're a lone shark left to fend for yourself, you're not going to make very much doing this full time, unless you started a long time ago like some of the old -timers who have their accounts set for life. If you're new looking to join, unless you come with 20 new clients ready to do 20 events a year, don't expect the company do do anything to help you make any money. If anything they will expect you do all the work and then expect you to pay them half of it.
