Thanks for your feedback. It's always difficult to read reviews that challenge us but it's important for us to hear from as many of our people as possible. At the time this review was written Emerald was going through a significant period of change. While this was tough for everyone we have now reached a point where our CEO and new leadership team have built a strong vision and are committed to communicating this with clarity. We've also reviewed our remuneration to align Emerald's pay structures with industry peers.
-Depending on what team you're on, you get a lot of autonomy. (on the flip side, see con- if you're on the wrong team)
-Good benefits
-Fun events & Travel opportunities
Cons
-People getting laid off left and right all time. One minute you have a team mate and the next they are just gone.
-Management is top heavy and operates like a fraternity
-If you're on the wrong team every move is watched
-Your job is NEVER safe
-Imagine with the acquisition that was just announced by Apollo that the reason for layoffs was to become lean before transition. I would hedge bets that this will also continue to be a numbers game and positions are going to be uncertain
-Sales plans are always ambiguous and there were even times where the plan wasn't out until several months into the year. Expected to sell over and above but didn't always have a sales plan to follow. It was always changing.
