Fine pay, no perks

Pros

Edelman has the reputation of being the largest and one of the most prestigious communications and media firms, and with that comes top clientele and widespread industry recognition

Cons

Because of its outstanding historical reputation, it feels as thought upper-management doesn't prioritize rewarding employees for remaining "at the top" of the comms industry. There are few, if any perks for employees as far as gym memberships, meal comps, office culture and that will inevitably take a toll on recruiting young talent
