      Excellent internship program

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Great opportunity as an intern to learn the ins and outs of public relations.

      Cons

      Being a large agency, I could see how it would become easy to get caught in the hierarchy.

      Soulless corporate factory ridden with arrogance, selfishness and schemers

      Intern
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      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.

      Looks great on your resume, but don't expect a job

      Intern
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      -As an intern, you are given a fair amount of responsibility -Great snacks/ice cream fridays! -Looks really good on your resume -You are doing relevant work, not just photo copying, etc. -Overtime pay

      Cons

      -No positive feedback -Analysts are under a lot of pressure and stressed out, and its very obvious -As a result, they put a lot of needless pressure onto the interns -It's obvious that the interns are just in a rotation--they don't really plan to hire anyone, they're just using the interns for as work horses. Not a bad business model, given this economy, but definitely be aware.
