Pros

None. Do not work here.

Cons

The leadership team are the worst performing, unsupportive and uncreative I’ve experienced in my 20 years of working in the events industry. They over promise to clients, put horrendous pressure on their team, don’t pay vendors and sometimes purposefully neglect or delay expenses reimbursements to their staff. Obviously they have financial issues, perhaps because they have (rightfully) been sued by a senior member of staff for discrimination. The staff churn out proposals without enough time to properly digest a brief and totally miss the mark. Budgets are tweaked to deliver what’s promised so the business doesn’t make any money. Staff are over worked, under appreciated and definitely under paid. Absolutely baffled how a business can get this far behaving this way. The staff turnover is very high and word is spreading (worldwide) not to work with this awful agency. It’s a laughing stock of the industry.

Pros

You quickly how much pressure you can endure.

Cons

- Entry-level pay barely reaches minimum wage despite long hours and constant travel in an expensive city - Management talks down to staff and watches employees struggle without stepping in - Bullying behavior is ignored or tolerated, even when witnessed by managers - No real support system or sense of culture exists - Work-life balance is nonexistent - Employees are blamed for problems outside their control and left to handle the consequences alone - The atmosphere feels isolating and oppressive, with constant tension and stress - Overwhelm is treated as weakness rather than a real concern - Emotional safety is absent, with public criticism and zero accountability - Trust in leadership quickly erodes - Stress and frustration follow you home long after the workday ends - Mental and emotional strain from the environment lingers, causing lasting harm - Compensation is insulting given the demands and personal sacrifices required This role leaves a deep impression of exhaustion, mistrust, and emotional drain, making it a place that is difficult to survive in and impossible to recommend.
