Pros

Truly lovely people and some of the best in the industry in their role Market Leading events Great place to learn / foot in the door in the industry Lovely office location in Richmond Flexible working is great

Cons

Career progression is non-existent / poor. To get a promotion is extremely difficult. If you want a sideways move for progression you are either blocked or treated with suspicion / seen as disloyal Previous head of B2B, now overall head of B2B and Travel sees loyalty as everything, and runs the division where only her “favourites” are safe. Very unprofessional attitude where one wrong move and she will actively look for ways to push you out of the company which has happened to a number of otherwise great staff unfortunately. Pay is shocking. Well below industry standard although the company thinks it’s market leading. You can earn almost double for the same role at other events companies. Covid was handled extremely poorly and they are now struggling to get new staff, partly because the pay is so uncompetitive.

Pros

Opportunity for growth within the company, great focus on not only retaining but growing inhouse talent. Tons of different sales roles to apply for. Ability to work remote full time.

Cons

Perhaps not the most competitive salary initially but can easily work your way into one.

Pros

The hybrid work model, I guess?

Cons

Do yourself a favor and filter this section to only the 1 star and 2 star reviews, because those are the only accurate reviews, at least for RX Global in the Norwalk office. At RX, you are overworked, but also underpaid and undervalued. Employees at this company are just a number. You are paid a comically low salary, no overtime, and HORRIBLE benefits, all for them to use and abuse you. You are expected to work overtime throughout the entire year. You are not only expected to travel for your own shows, but you are also required to volunteer for other shows and attend other external events throughout the year, that always fall over weekends. Have a good idea? Something that can propel the business forward? Doesn't matter! Unless you are VP level or above, your ideas are worth nothing— If anything, they're laughed at. On that note, unless you are VP level or above, not only do you have no autonomy, but you are essentially a dumping ground for admin work. And last but not least, the company culture is one consisting of gossip. Be prepared to be gaslit, micromanaged, and emotionally manipulated if you consider working here. Oh also, non-existent growth opportunities!
