Pros
Camaraderie with other junior members of staff. That is all.
Cons
Unfortunately this small organisation has an imbalance of personnel. On the one hand, there are a group of directors that interfere with, bully and harass their staff, and on the other hand, there are the staff. Their portfolio is limited, as are the training and development opportunities. If you are an experienced producer and can get a good deal for a few months then do it. If you are a grad then STAY AWAY. It's painful to think that the first experience of the conference industry for a grad could be SMi. It represents only the worst aspects of the industry. It's not all vitriol, small mindedness and cheap delivery. Plus other companies will treat you with respect as a proper project manager with proper responsibility.
