      Good place to learn, challenging to grow if you're not the "right" personality

      Pros

      There are many opportunities to learn and take on a variety of projects. There are also opportunities switch to difference practices. Edelman also encourages having a life outside of work and experiencing new things - I really value that and would hate to work for a place that doesn't encourage these values.

      Cons

      To me, the louder you are, the more recognition and promotional opportunities there are. It doesn't always seem fair that you must be extremely vocal in order to be given new responsibilities. There does seem to be heavy favoritism at this office. Sometimes it's too big for junior staff to have the chance to dive in and take on more meaty projects and roles.

      Great place to work...not a great place to earn money.

      Pros

      Great work-life balance, plenty of professional development opportunities, open-door management styles and top-notch clients. Smart and accomplished co-workers. One of the few PR companies with long-term career potential for newbies, and excellent about promoting from within.

      Cons

      The company is big enough that it can be difficult to get to a position of real influence. Furthermore, an employees experience varies largely based on the account they happen to work with, which is not uncommon for agency work. The real minus is the salaries. Unless you were brought on before the recession, chances are you're being paid below market.

      I have a fabulous manager. I have great work life balance. I am compensated well. I enjoy my work. The people are amazing.

      Cons

      I can't think of any. I honestly feel so grateful to work here. Richard Edelman is fabulous and I enjoy coming to work each day.
