Pros

The literal only good thing I can think of is that I enjoyed the work I was doing when I first started there.

Cons

This was an absolutely terrible place to work and some examples of what happened to me specifically include: I was micromanaged by people who were not my direct boss, work slowly began to get taken away from me until I was no longer even doing what I was hired to do, nothing I did was EVER good enough but directions were never clear from the start. In addition to me being bullied in the workplace on a day to day basis, they had no HR department so it’s not like I could report what was happening (which is absolutely wild to me), I saw others be bullied to by the same individuals, specially the CEO, who is genuinely just a nasty person, and the turnover while I was there was wild because of this poor treatment. favorites are picked and it is very obvious if you are one of them or not. However, the favoritism is not based on how you are performing or the work you are doing. I could not tell you what it was based on because I gave them no reason to treat me the way that they did but it didn’t matter.

Pros

Great team of people to work with Good pay and benefits, they pay by experience Hybrid schedules once training is completed Great clientele all over the world, traveling to all different countries for events. Mon-Fri job, work with team regarding work life balance In the event business balance is not easy but Paragon Events works with the staff to support the employees needs.

Cons

No cons for me. programs says I need to enter 5 cons - hard to do when you like your job Staff turn-over- due to them not being able to do the task requested Those who have left felt they should get to work from home all the time- in this business you can't
