Pros

Richard Edelman is a true, respected thought leader in the field of PR and the company does a great job informing and educating all its staff about the company's vision. Edelman encourages employees to embrace the changes in the practice of PR and gives them opportunities to develop their skills.

Cons

Office politics and gossip, while inevitable, can sometimes make the office a negative environment. Staff departures aren't always handled well. Workloads aren't spread very evenly, leaving some staff overworked while others have lots of free time.
