Pros
Of course Edelman looks great on your resume, it's the largest PR firm in the world. The opportunity seems endless for most.
Cons
Minorities, especially those of African decent, do not advance at an equal pace as others. It may take two years to get promoted from a AAE to AE or AE to SAE. Minority interns rarely get hired, extended or even considered. It was also discouraging to see the majority of AA employees working in mail room. This is not an isolated situation, it happens in offices around the country.
