Pros

Good open work space and comms learning opportunities for junior level staff.

Cons

Culture. General consensus is the leader is in over her head and cares more about her "personal brand" than the client work. Considerable favoritism based on race and gender have been created by the leader as a protection mechanism. This only promotes unprofessional and poor behavior. Solid talent not wanting to manage their work in this type of environment and play the Hunger Games have left. Salaries are much lower than you would expect for a leading agency.

Thank you for sharing your feedback. Ensuring that we have a culture in which all employees can thrive and feel comfortable is of the utmost importance, therefore I would very much like to speak with you about your concerns. There are a number of safe spaces for employees to provide feedback. I assure you that I am one , as is your new local HR leader and our internal Listen Line and web portal. We ALWAYS want employees to feel safe sharing their feedback and I sincerely hope you will reach out to me at Mara.O’Keeffe@edelman.com or use one of the other mechanisms I mentioned above.
