      Pros

      Multiple satellite offices means a slightly less corporate culture. Fun and interesting work in the event business. Large player in the tradeshow industry. Company will be very successful and stable as the primary driver is revenue growth across all businesses.

      Cons

      Lack of recognition of Emerald Expositions as a brand means less job opportunities for future roles. The company strives to be middle of the road in everything, which creates a just ok environment. Middle of the road benefits, middle of the road culture. There is little that is interesting or progressive about how the company is managed. I would think Emerald will have a hard time retaining new talent in the future with antiquated business practices and rules in place.

      Pros

      -Depending on what team you're on, you get a lot of autonomy. (on the flip side, see con- if you're on the wrong team) -Good benefits -Fun events & Travel opportunities

      Cons

      -People getting laid off left and right all time. One minute you have a team mate and the next they are just gone. -Management is top heavy and operates like a fraternity -If you're on the wrong team every move is watched -Your job is NEVER safe -Imagine with the acquisition that was just announced by Apollo that the reason for layoffs was to become lean before transition. I would hedge bets that this will also continue to be a numbers game and positions are going to be uncertain -Sales plans are always ambiguous and there were even times where the plan wasn't out until several months into the year. Expected to sell over and above but didn't always have a sales plan to follow. It was always changing.
