Understand the Company - Recensione dipendente - Sales presso Columbus Events

I have been with the company for a few months now. I was worried that after graduating I wasn't going to be able to find a viable career that can help me grow and develop skills for my future. My family was laid off after working for 40 years with their previous employer, so I wanted to know I had the security of working with people who cared about me. I wanted people who were going to make me feel like my personal, career, and life goals matter and not just be a number for the company. I am so lucky to have found this group that has helped grow the instant I started working with them. My trainer is the most patient, friendly, and hard working person I have ever met. He creates vision and always has the next step we need to take in order to hit our goals. I want to grow and develop my skills to be able to be a strong leader like he is. I want to help others around me grow. To see where I was when I started working here with bad habits like not knowing how to budget, someone who would show up late a few minutes (because it wasn't too late that anyone would notice), to being held accountable for the goals I have for myself. I want to be that person for someone else.

This. is. hard. There is no way around it. You have to work hard. I came into this company with previous misconceptions: I thought I knew what work ethic was; I thought I knew what accountability was; I thought I was a logical person and didn't respond to things emotionally; I thought I was confident in my every day life. I learned I was not. I had to develop those skills throughout the few months I have been here. That was hard. But I am excited for more training because there is always something more to learn.

Opportunities - if you can network your way in but that is CE culture. Many learning opportunities. Great place to start your career for campus hires. People like to complain but the pay is very nice.

They talk a lot about Work Life balance but it really depends on the project and leaders. Typical consulting environment (Long hours, travel and unpredictable work environment)
