Pros

Perhaps flexibility for salaried posititons.

Cons

-Their upper management engaged in some very manipulative and scheming strategies to make job offers. They let some people wait unnecessarily in excruciating uncertainty. No job description or schedule or anything was provided at the time of the offer and to add to that they gave you a 24 hour time window to make a decision eventhough they did provide you with the important variables needed to consider any job offer. -Interviews were not really interviews, more of a way for them to learn how the event program that they were taking over worked. -They were not consistent with what they were telling everyone especiallly in terms of stipulations for one of their "bonus" structured "hybrid" opportunities. Participation in this hybrid also meant nothing in terms of growth, it was just a means to support their program transition and pay A LOT LESS for the work. -Finally (after WEEKS) they made offers to people they had originally rejected. -Their compensation is comparable to any entry level job in the SF bay area , not competitive at all. -Their motto or "philosphy" is "First take good care of each other" or something to that effect. Something which they do not embody nor apply to their hiring or program strategies. It feels like it's just something nice that they like to say but that's as far as it goes. I believe things like these trickle down from CEO down to the lowest positions so Maritz may have some work to do. -They are so proud of the fact that they have people that have been with Maritz for 20+years (which is great) but that is where most of their focus was vs where they can take young talent and what growth means with Maritz.

Pros

Interesting client and we get to use some of their benefits, my manager allows a lot of flexibility for employees that prove themselves

Cons

Impacts feel small with a limit in scope Leadership has trouble managing the client so we never feel prepared for major events Work moves very slowly with lack of access to our clients resources and the amount of approvals needed, but the client demands speed.
