American Consumer Shows

A typical day at work for an office worker is 24/7, then you work the weekends and every penny spent is judged as the leads will throw xo tract workers under the bus for any problems including work related or over spending. I've learned that management only trusts office workers and never communicate with contract workers. Management will take advantage of you when they need help but leave you out of the loop if any problems arise and need more communication. The workplace culture is unbalanced and there is a lot of favoritism and manipulation, everyone acts like they are a family but half the staff don't even like each other. Hardest part of the job is listening to jealous kids tell me what to do because they saw cob worker's kiss and they take out their petty drama on contract workers instead of focusing on work. The most enjoyable thing about the job was traveling, but do your own thing when your travel because the younger leads will gaslight you 

The folks that work here are all committed to high standards and work very hard to sell and produce top notch consumer events. One of the most truly dedicated and hardworking group of people I've had the pleasure of working with. For a mid-size company the volume of work produced is unbelievable. Technology, efficiency and highly specialized processes have aided the ACS staff in its rapid growth to become one of the largest producers of consumer events. If you enjoy being challenged and busy on a regular basis this is the place for you. The company is focused on growth. Sales reps have the opportunity to make some real money. Staff at any level has the opportunity to take on more responsibility, learn and grow. Most staff has been here for 10+ years. Casual work environment. Important, you must be comfortable working in a deadline driven atmosphere; best suited for individuals that work well under pressure.

It's hard to find a career where you feel really positive about the product you are selling, but I am the kind of person that can't sell what I don't believe in...ACS produces top-notch consumer events, where we put the exact right people in front of our vendors.  

We sales reps have every technological tool at our fingertips you can think of to streamline our job to get to the bottom line- building our book of business.  We are also given the people-power we need to support our work as well.  Most of us have been here selling the shows for over 10 years, and that speaks volumes!

While no job is ever perfect, there is definitely a great culture at ACS, of which I am proud to be a part of.  The people here really work together to put forth superior events!

Sales people are at a real disadvantage when working at American Consumer Shows. The rules constantly change and usually only in ways that net the company more money without salespeople seeing an increase. There are no bonuses or incentives to succeed, just more work if you’re doing well. This is an environment riddled with inconsistencies and demands that are out of ratio with the amount of money that can be made. There are no benefits, it isn’t fulfilling work, and the scope of responsibilities gets larger and larger while money mainly stays the same. 

Working in event management is unlike any other profession out there. Each event has a life cycle of it's own. While the office appears to be super casual and comfortable, the environment is charged with excitement and intensity. We operate in a deadline driven environment focused on growth and success. Multitasking and optimal organizational skills are essential, as well as strong attention to detail.  Individuals' who thrive under pressure would be happiest working at American Consumer Shows.    

they underpay their employees and push you to make the fake advertisement to the clients and trick them to sign a misleading contract that’s the way this company make their money. Trade show is a very out dated way of promoting business there’s fewer and few ppl have interest on going anyways. This company is going to be closed down anytime soon.  Plus the management are so unorganized you see ppl come and go everyday they are just a scammy. 

The company poised for remarkable growth, led by an incredibly passionate CEO. The people are nice, creating a supportive and collaborative work environment. The company is actively building a positive culture, open communication channels, and a focus on work-life balance. With numerous exciting projects on the horizon, ACS remains at the forefront of innovation and empowers employees to contribute their ideas and expertise. 

What is the best part of working at the company?
The staff is great- most of them have been there for 10 plus years. Excellent sales training. Very competitive salary in the sales department. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Very fast paced during show season!! 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
The office always had a fun productive energy and the culture is a pleasant team environment.

My day is intense and rewarding at the same time. I enjoy the challenges and the opportunities to learn and grow. The culture is relaxed (attire) yet professional. All of my co-workers are dedicated and strive for excellence while sharing similar values about work ethic and producing a good result. 

ACS is a great company to work for. Many employees have been here for 10 years or longer. The opportunity to make money with show pay is a nice added bonus. The culture is friendly and hardworking. Don't join the company if you are afraid of hard work.
