Pros

There are so many positives about Event 360 that I think this is the primary reason that so many original employees have stayed with this 10 year old company. All the pillars of a great working environment are there: - Great people - Cooperative, collaborative and responsive management - Small enough to impact change quickly yet still be the leader in a niche field - Ability to work with amazing non-profits - Work that "means more" (meaning you aren't pushing a widget or tool ... but are looking to make am impact on the social condition) - Work / life balance - Organization is 90% virtual so working from home is the norm. Overall, it is a great organization to work for.

Cons

CULTURE: There is a VERY strong culture within this organization, which isn't necessarily a bad thing. But, if you don't fit the mold it is can be difficult/uncomfortable for those without thicker skin. They do typically hire people that have a connection (sometimes long term) to employees which can contribute to the culture being a bit homogenous. CREATIVITY: This is an outcrop of the first problem, by relying on what has worked in the past or surrounding yourself with like-minded people, creativity can be stunted sometimes which will impact the organization's ability to be innovative. CHANGE VS. REACTION: Given their laser focus on event fundraising, you would think that this team would be at the forefront of the next "Big Thing," but they are often playing catch-up and improving old ideas instead of being the thought leader. SALARY and GROWTH: I don't know if this is necessarily a con, but salaries are typically lower than market and their is limited upward mobility. What makes this less of a red flag, is that I believe employees are very committed and willing to work very hard because they love the work and the clients or causes the organization serves. Everything Event 360 touches is about making the world a better place or moving the mission of so many non-profits that pay or advancement isn't the highest priority for staff.

Pros

The environment is great, everyone is always willing to help out, and having such a small company makes it feel a lot like a family. (~100 people) On the IT side of things, the crew is awesome. There's no better way to put it. They're on top of their game 24/7 and are always ready to lend a hand or tackle a whole new problem. Outside of the work environment, they're a fun bunch to hang out with, and they know their stuff. And they love a good brew.

Cons

There's not too much room to grow. Looking from an IT standpoint, this is a good small company to learn and start working with, but because it's small, there's not a whole lot more you can do/learn once you pass the 1 year mark. Their needs aren't massive enough to have you go learn and receive a few certifications.
