Pros

It's location is really convenient.

Cons

I did actually work there but was offered a position after interviewing with about ten women. The pay offered wasn't even enough to pay my rent and when asked when I could start I asked for two weeks. They said they would call me back and never did, in fact they ignored my phone calls. I received an email a week and a half later informing me they picked another candidate. I have never ever of any company offering someone a position and then sending them a rejection email!

Hello. We are very sorry to hear of your experience during the interview and subsequent process. We strive to introduce potential candidates to a multitude of people in order to provide a full understanding of how each department collaborates and operates together. In addition, we often address salary requirements early on in the process so that interviewees may determine if the job aligns with their goals. This also allows us to fully assess if the desired salary is validated against the candidate’s experience and skills. I can assure you that we are very responsive to interested candidates and encourage open communication to properly address any questions or concerns. In this instance, I welcome a call to discuss how we could have better handled your situation. Please do not hesitate to call our office as we hope to resolve this concern.

Pros

Great team of people to work with Good pay and benefits, they pay by experience Hybrid schedules once training is completed Great clientele all over the world, traveling to all different countries for events. Mon-Fri job, work with team regarding work life balance In the event business balance is not easy but Paragon Events works with the staff to support the employees needs.

Cons

No cons for me. programs says I need to enter 5 cons - hard to do when you like your job Staff turn-over- due to them not being able to do the task requested Those who have left felt they should get to work from home all the time- in this business you can't
