    Pros

    I learned so much in my short time at Vanguard Events Inc. Their entry level position is challenging and is not for anyone who is not willing to give 100%. Their leadership team is focused on growing new leaders from entry level and giving support to everyone at the office. I received advice and support regarding everything from my feet hurting after a long day to conquering my fears about networking to gaining self confidence after some past hardships. I gained skills that help me make the most of every work day and every situation. I am a more confident person and feel that any future success I have will be in part thanks to Meg, Mel, Azul and the other leaders that set an example as strong, independent and driven women.

    Cons

    Long hours and a steep learning curve make this job difficult for anyone who is not prepared. If you put in the time you can learn the information in the time you are given. I do recommend self care and making sure you are prepared every day.

      Interview

      I applied on Linkedin, the HR recruiter contacted me very quickly for a face to face interview in the office. Once I got to the office, which was a bit old and run down, I waited for 20 minutes before my interview! If I have an interview at 3:00pm I expect it to be at 3:00pm. I can see waiting a few minutes, but 20 minutes is unacceptable. When the candidate before me was finished I started my interview. After abut 20 minutes it was over, and I was invited to come back for a second round interview. The second round interview would be me watching some kind of presentation, which they did not thoroughly explain well. So anyway, I was expecting to come back for the second round interview the following, but the HR recruiter left a voicemail saying I have to reschedule. So I called back twice, nothing in return. Then I emailed her, then she said they had chosen someone for the position Monday so they are not doing any more interviews. Like, what kinda crap is that? I feel like it was a waste of my time, very unprofessional.
