Pros

There arent any pros for this company

Cons

TOO MANY TO STATE NONE None none none

Pros

Business has been in continual operation since 1999! They must be doing something right. Company is the pioneer in W-2 staffing model as all field employees are W-2, and company owner is considered an expert in the industry. Company is large enough to provide security and stability for core employees, and international services for its' clients, while being small enough to still maintain a family atmosphere. Working in the "People Capital" business, people can be both a Pro and Con of the business. Company owner is passionate about doing the right thing for clients and employees, and is actively involved in the operations of the company. Company owner supports employees working remotely from home, with 45% of current employees working remotely. Company Management has an open door policy, as well, it maintains a Drama Free Office environment, encouraging open and honest communication from the top to the bottom. Company employees are outgoing and friendly. Employees genuinely care about each other. Offices are very nice, inviting, and comfortable. Pay rates are at market and competitive with other companies in the same industry.

Cons

Working in the "People Capital" business, people can be both a Pro and Con of the business. The seasonality of the business creates a fluctuation in seasonal and project employee numbers, as the business grows and contracts to meet seasonal business requirements. Seasonal and project employees are all aware of the seasonal nature of their employment.

Pros

Fun and easy events, fits your schedule, fair pay

Cons

Some team leads and tour managers I have worked with were very rude and unprofessional, event coordinators can't be honest at times and are unreliable

Pros

This is a smaller company so you really have an opportunity to shine if you're willing to do the work. Everyone is extremely helpful and they really give you a chance to show what your made of. The office has such a great energy, it is always a joy to come into work and see your fellow employees. There is a ton of support and training from upper management, you can learn a lot in a small amount of time. Employees genuinely care about each other, we do team bonding exercises in the office and we do volunteer work out in the community.

Cons

Since this is a smaller company you will be noticed! This is not the place for someone to try and hide within the rest of the employees. There is no micromanagement here if you need help you have to speak up, which is an issues for some people. Working in the people industry is difficult and there are a few things that you cannot control. If you do not have thick skin, this is not the place for you.

Pros

This job has many pros, including: - Learning of a wide variety of skillsets - as well as a hands-on and intensive experience of the event industry. - Ability to work remotely from home - equipment provided. - Employer who is understanding about family and personal needs - Each day brings new opportunities - if you're proactive with going after them. - Client base is strong, so repeat business is a huge benefit from existing accounts. - Like any job, there is an element of 'you get out what you put in' - if you're looking for a job where you can 'phone it in', it will be a challenge in the long run. Bring to the table problem solving skills, exceptional communication and follow through, and you will thrive. Being adaptable and having a great, constructive attitude is key.

Cons

- Training for some departments could be more intensive - however the scope of the job is wide, so there's a lot to learn throughout one's tenure - Offices over multiple time zones can present a challenge for both clients and admin. - Events activate on the weekends, so one must come into this job with a knowledge that work can occur during typical off-times

Pros

I enjoy working for EPS and even though we have to endure the hours of standing on site; the whole operation is great. The clients who hire us are great and understanding, the pay is also very good and the communication of employers and employees have a mutual understanding between each other.

Cons

The only cons is the standing for long hours. Yes, we do have breaks but some events where it's not as many people or based on the crowd; I think there should be stools available. I completely understand they want us on our feet to gather people and get their attention, but I believe there should be seats for us so after we get someone to fill a survey, we can have those quick 3 minute rest which will enable us to work even longer and increase productivity. And the last thing is the payment schedule. It was cool when it was 2 weeks, but they recently raised it up to 3 weeks and it's just a personal thing but 3 weeks is too long. But if you can handle the hours and the waiting of the payments; it's a very good company to work for.

Pros

I worked with some incredible Program Coordinators in my office. They are all still some of my greatest friends. Misery loves company and it's a shame we all are not working together anymore. I can tell you that NONE of us have chosen to stay with EPS.

Cons

If you value your quality of life, even on the most basic level, do not work for this company. I was hired as a salary employee for almost two years. Those two years of my life were lost. As a Program Coordinator we were all expected to have our company issued phones on us at all times, 24/7. The company does inform you that the hours are not the 'typical 9-5;' however, flextime does not exist. You work early mornings, evenings, weekends and holidays for free. You are not allowed or granted the flextime that is promised or agreed upon. It's a toxic environment and detrimental to one's health. It is a thankless job and the sh_t always flows downhill. There is absolutely no growth and one does not gain any industry experience. It's always a crisis and you will constantly be trying to put out fires. For two years I sacrificed every single one of my personal relationships with family and friends. Forget taking vacations, forget evenings with family or weekends with friends. You will be working without receiving any compensation. Any job is better than working for EventPro Strategies.

Pros

Everyone here wants to help each other be successful. Unlike other companies I have worked at when someone offers to help you they actually provide really meaningful assistance. The work can be very challenging because you are relying on other people (your remote staff to execute), but the team is definitely IN IT TOGETHER and it's clear that everyone cares. The leadership team is committed to being flexible and agile to meet the demands of the market while providing growth opportunities to the internal team. They ask for and take frequent feedback so that they can learn from challenges, celebrate successes, adapt, and advance the team and company.

Cons

People can be unpredictable and the success of your program is directly tied to the behaviors of your remote staff. The team at EPS works really hard to minimize the stress that flaky staff can create on execution day, but it's not always avoidable.
