Pros
Overall, working at Circdata was a fairly enjoyable experience. For an entry level job, it was well-paid and there were perks like 'pizza fridays' where Dominoes pizza would get bought in for lunch for everyone. The work was varied, a lot of client contact, good administrative experience and the chance to travel and go to different shows in the UK and abroad. There was general good career progression but if you were an account manager there wasn't really unless you became a Senior Account Manager.
Cons
Some of the male staff made inappropriate and disrespectful remarks and comments, whether about myself or about other women, whilst working at shows. This was my least favourite part of the job. In hind sight I should have made a formal complaint to the MD and I regret that I did not. When attending shows, be prepared to work long days. Not uncommon to work from 6am - 7pm with little breaks in between.
