Pros

One of the most challenging and enjoyable places I have ever worked. No two days are the same, the responsibility and autonomy given to all employees is something I've never encountered elsewhere and something anyone with an ounce of drive can grab with both hands and make their own. Every day I come to work with a group of my closest friends so it's hard to beat!

Cons

Given the nature of events the work can be very tough and demanding as timelines aren't as flexible as elsewhere

Pros

the events and the people are great.

Cons

management is inexperienced. the company is in transition/growth mode and experiencing major growing pains. their track record of ending employee contracts abruptly without warning/reason/notice is insane. in the case of sales, they end all communication once you are out the door and don't pay out commissions owed (?!)

Pros

Struggling to find any, to be fair.

Cons

It's a boys club, and many of the propaganda spewed by the CEO is to use managers as tokens of diversity. Managers are ill-prepared, and will eventually push you out - no matter how well you perform. You will go far if you are a rule follower, but that's about it. The role is one of a call center - you are expected to take on 15-18 meetings a day for 20 minutes each only to be at the bottom of the company. Do not expect to be taken seriously if you are apart of the Startups team. Also, tenure in the company supersedes results.
