      Great opportunities, but basically a factory - Account Supervisor Edelman Employee Review

      Pros

      Smart people, great opportunities, a lot is expected of junior levels, direct client interaction from day 1, learned a TON, promotions often, great on a resume

      Cons

      Basically a sweatshop. I never got out of my desk and was expected to be on my phone at all times. Emails were sent late into the night. For what you are getting paid (not much and less than other agencies), it’s not worth it to completely lose your life. Highly competitive (not in a good way). Not a good working environment.

      Thank you for sharing your thoughts - the good and the bad. It's great to hear how much you learned and were trusted with and how many opportunities you were able to take advantage of. I just wish it didn't come at the expense of your personal life because you're right - that kind of work-life balance isn't sustainable. While we have a number of parameters in place within finance, HR and management to try to keep the burn-out at bay, I hope you'll consider reaching out to share any other ideas you have at maria.okeeffe@edelman.com. Maria O'Keeffe, Executive Director, US HR

      Pros

      I worked with some of the brightest and best people in the business. Most of them are no longer with the company. Some good clients, and nice office space.

      Cons

      Very limited opportunities for growth. During my time they reduced promotions to only once a year, and made many excuses for promoting as few people as possible (despite becoming the first "$1B" agency at that time). Morale was extremely low. People were forced to come into an office with nobody they actually worked with. Common to be passed from manager to manager. At one point I had 6+ managers within a 10-month span.
