Pros

Free snacks in the kitchen.

Cons

Weak compensation, low-level accounts, cliquey colleagues, unfocused and poorly managed teams, absent leadership... this list could go on and on. Most of these flacks wouldn't be able to hold their own elsewhere.

Supportive manager, great work environment. Good work life balance which is not common in medium-large agencies. Highly recommend for interns.

Has the expectation to handle office administrative tasks which were not included in the JD.

Pros

Good foundational PR experience with opportunity to work on cool brands and focus on specific areas of business. There's great work in the pipeline and senior leadership is laying the groundwork for expanded capabilities across practices. Plenty of learning and development opportunities throughout tenure and internal tools to grow professional skills.

Cons

Terrible work culture and some middle managers who are self-concerned/not invested in supporting young talent. Junior employees are overworked and underpaid. Did not feel set up for success in my role and felt there was a lot of favoritism within the company.
