Impact XM

While I loved the freedom I was afforded at Impact it did not come easy and took many years of proving myself to management.  Some of the managers have large egos and don't like being told when they are making the wrong decision which usually ended up costing the company more money and wasted time.  In the trade show industry we get extremely busy and don't have the luxury of lost time.  My biggest gripe is how you can bust your butt during these insane workloads (60+ hours of OT) and you are hero if it all goes well, but if you make one mistake they lecture you about it for a week ignoring the immense workload you had.  My other gripe is lack of pay and how hard it was to move into different positions.  While it wasn't impossible to change positions at Impact, it definitely wasn't easy.  A lot of the times the moves were lateral so you wouldn't even get a pay increase.  The positions that moved the fastest with the biggest pay increases are in sales (account coordinators - account managers and senior account managers).  Now Impact wasn't all bad, as I stated once you prove yourself you are not micro-managed.  During non-busy season (winter and summer) it is easy to take time off or come in / leave at varying hours (depending on your department).  The work / life balance did favor the office employees more-so than the shop workers unfortunately.  Overall I would say it is a good place to work, but needs improvement with some processes to prevent costly mistakes. 

This place works on tradeshow booths and events, so they are live and deadlines must be met. Some of these deadlines you only have a week or two to turn around huge projects. They expect you to work overtime and stay available after hours, there is no work life balance in that aspect. You will always be on the clock. I worked with some amazing teams and people during my career here, but the company overall is looking out for itself now, so becoming a number has become clear over the years. Management needs training asap. My particular manager was micro managing every single aspect of work. If you dedicate your life and soul to this place, you will be rewarded and that dedication means 50 plus hours a week. If you work a normal 40 hour work week non stop, you are looked at as useless. I never received a bonus, hardly received a raise. I have worked many companies over my years and I've never felt so used and disregarded. I really hope this place considers the mental health of the employees and instills a proper work life balance by managing and scheduling projects professionally. God speed to those who still work there.

A typical day of work were to make sure our clients booths were made as  expected. I've learned to drive a forklift better. Management I haven't really socialize with the management to judge on the management. Spent most of my time working in the warehouse. The workplace culture there was just like any other warehouse job. Your instructed on what to do and you do it. Nothing was really hard about the job that I couldn't really do. Most enjoyable part of the job was being working overtime when needed to,

Good work environment. Layed back of you don't go crazy when the ish hits the walls. Pay is not even close enough for what they demand. They offer overtime so when it slows down and your base salary isn't high they don't have to pay you more. They demand furring the buissy season you work 12 he days 5 days a week and work Saturday and Sunday. The they turn around and you get in trouble when you leave before 6pm.

Company was sold to an investment company about 1 year ago with few changes in operations. Management has become a little more difficult due to new ways of handling its employees. I have a two hour one way drive  each day. My co-workers are a very professional group of people  that makes it enjoyable to work there. Just need to make a change in my drive time to address a better home life.

Impact XM is such a great place to work. I love how open they are to new ideas  and how much they focus on reaching the clients' goals. I've never worked anywhere that had such a focus on doing things the right way and creating a whole experience. The management is great and the care about their workers. I've learned a lot from my older colleagues and i feel privileged to work here. 

I have been promised too many times of a pay increase, but up until I left the company it was never given to me. The pay they offer is way below industry standards but I accepted it because the company seem promising and the workplace looks dynamic. It was exciting at first, but you realize that what makes this place a sad one are the people in it.

The administrative assistant position at Impact XM may sound like your typical office job, but that can't be further from the truth. I am the liaison between our clients and our team. I love being able to support the creation of events that keep our clients happy and loyal for years. The work culture here is awesome! and the management truly cares about her employees.
