Pros

Colleagues are smart, hardworking and enjoyable to work with. Generous time off during Christmas holiday season and usually let out a little early day before a holiday. Regular work hours are good and office location is nice.

Cons

Work environment difficult to work in because it's essentially a call center environment with small cubicles. Very noisy at times and difficult to concentrate. Requires work after hours to keep up with job. Management seems to only recognize sales. Main "con" to this place is its heavy turnover. People come and go like its a revolving door. No one is ever told someone is going, you just notice they are no longer there. Basically, if you can't cut it within a couple of months, they let you go and keep the commission if you made a sale. No department seems immune from layoffs or firing. Inconsistent procedures that change frequently and technology that is not optimal by any means. Decisions made randomly and seemingly without logic.

Pros

Title: Great company to work for with an agile and talented team Pros: Working as a Portfolio Manager at IQPC was a great experience. The company is incredibly agile and has a strong ability to adapt to market changes, which is vital in the highly competitive events and conferences industry. This adaptability allows IQPC to stay ahead of trends and continue delivering relevant and high-quality events. The people here are some of the smartest and most capable I’ve had the pleasure of working with — it’s clear that IQPC attracts top talent and fosters a collaborative, supportive environment. One of the standout aspects of the company is how much they invest in their rising talent. There are continuous opportunities for development, and the performance-based pay structure is a great motivator. It not only rewards individual contributions but also drives the company’s success as a whole. This culture of incentivizing high performance was one of the key factors in my own personal and professional growth while there. Overall: IQPC is a solid company with a lot of potential for growth. The leadership is forward-thinking, the people are sharp, and the culture rewards results. While the sales team dynamic might not be perfect, it’s a small downside in an otherwise great work environment. Would recommend to anyone who thrives in a fast-paced, results-oriented setting!

Cons

Cons: Like many fast-paced companies, there is a bit of ego on the sales team. While this is somewhat expected in a high-energy, results-driven environment, it can occasionally cause friction between departments. However, this is something that can be managed with effective communication and collaboration. For junior staff it can be a challenging environment to meet deadlines.

Pros

people were nice enough to work with

Cons

I worked for SSON, our managing director liked to preach that they advocated for their employees, but I was let go, through no fault of my own per their words, after bad training and no real support for the new role I was taking on. Also, there is zero work/life balance despite being able to work from home 2 days a week, my team was exhausted and upper management did not care.
