      Good name on resume for aspiring PR professional

      Anonymous employee
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Recognized name in PR Large, well-recognized clients means projects often have national or global scale Depending on your specific division within the company, you may be exposed, even at the junior level , to client -facing roles.

      Cons

      Level of competence varies amongst employees and managers: some are highly capable leaders while others seem to be merely adequate. The firm is plagued by the same issues that most PR firms encounter: high staff turnover, tensions between business development and delivering a consistently high-quality product.

      Ouch, that hurt

      Senior account executive
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Ability to do things you may have never done before if you get a good account. Lots of variety of tasks, challenges and the opportunity to participate nominally in minor decision making.

      Cons

      No real teams here, rather it is individual competition within the team, Politics in the office is not the best way to help clients. Really poor leadership and stratified management style. Very Old School. There is definitely an inner circle, a need to know attitude and poor morale overall all. This agency is about billable hours and you better not forget it. You can grow there if you can get "in" with certain people, not by accomplishments. I was disappointed and disillusioned, They had good PR about their company, I chose them over another but regretted it within my first week.
