Best of the agencies

Pros

There is a strong focus on development of intellectual property and progression of the industry, and much solid account work is done through the agency.

Cons

It's a highly political environment and heavily driven by NY and Chicago, so opportunities for meaningful promotion elsewhere in the network are limited

Good, but could be better

Pros

This a challenging and rewarding place to work and out of all of the large agencies in the area I believe its the best.

Cons

They need to do a better job rewarding employees who have put in time with the company. Salaries are not competitive and they almost force you to leave to make what you are worth.

Pros

Smart people. World class clients. Well respected within the PR/Digital industry. Some real thought-leaders work for Edelman Digital. Great resume builder.

Cons

At times I had up to five clients to account for at once. They do not care about your work life balance, and they'll pile more and more work onto your plate if you let them. For junior level staff, they are willing to give you high levels of responsibility, but not willing to pay you accordingly. Know what you're worth - you can do better.
