      Edelman

      Strategic planner and branding
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Exposed to top companies/clients/accounts, both national and international. Work with really smart, talented and driven people. You will learn a lot if you set yourself to it -- no one will baby you, this is the real world. Make good connections! Take advantage of "coffee dates." If you don't get promoted, more than likely someone there will know someone else who might be willing to hire you. Become good friends with the HR peeps -- they can help. Don't treat interns badly, they might end up being your coworkers soon.

      Cons

      Long, long, long hours for the compensation. Don't expect to sit around and leave when you're supposed to. Don't not expected to get promoted just because people like you and you are a talented, hard worker, it really just depends on the business at time.
