Pros

-My team is great. They are kind, supportive, and ready for work. -A huge emphasis on enviormentalism. -A huge emphasis on commuity groups: Womans group, book clubs, GRIOT, soccer league, etc. -Community days once a month that include food, drinks, etc. -A wide array of account work that allows you to have multiple experiences and expand your career. -The opportunity to work with people on teams around the country and world. -Edelman is such a huge and well-known firm once you leave the firm I am confident you will be well equipped.

Cons

-The salary is low -You can advance but I observed it takes a while for a promotion and even with a promotion the price increase isn't high -Like any firm you can work long hours (although my manager does hear me out to ensure I am not getting burnt out) -Upper management scruntinize timesheet closely -The C suite does not communicate major changes in the company well. There is no transparency between the C Suite and employees.

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.
