Pros

Excellent brand name (in terms of globally), wide range of Fortune 500 clients, fair pay in terms of the public relations industry

Cons

Does not feel at all like a public relations firm- all employees sit in cubicles, there is hardly any interaction between them, virtually all staff except for IT and support staff are female- meaning there is an unnatural order of things and tensions run high virtually all the time. The corporate culture is such that competition amongst employees is unnaturally fierce and the atmosphere in the office is dry and unwelcoming. Promotions are determined via favouritism.

Pros

Great training resources, tons of knowledgeable people in all PR industries, open and friendly environment, events sometimes happen, great location in the financial district, working under some distinguished PR folk.

Cons

This office in particular works LONG hours. If this doesn't bother you, you'll fit right in. However, it's tough to maintain a work-life balance regularly. If you're driving, you have to pay for parking.
