Pros

Excellent high profile clientele in the healthcare and business space. Being a small firm, everyone gets the opportunity to become a jack of all trades. Great place to start at career in PR as you will learn all of the basics and more. Salaries are high (but benefits are not).

Kontras

Not a place to spend an extended period of time. Toxic environment in which some employees work on conflicting accounts. Certain members of management (not all) have no grasp for the personal, emotional, and professional needs of their employees. Communication can often be brash and disrespectful. Attempts to revamp office culture have brought the firm back in time, not forward, and it has turned very much into a "suck it up" environment. The firm bleeds employees and takes a very long time in replacing them, if they ever do. The rest of firm is expected to pick up the slack, and being a small firm already, this takes a true toll on bandwidth. Employees are not necessarily appreciated for going above and beyond either.

Thank you for your comments. We will learn from them. We have addressed many of these concerns over the past three years, adding significant staff, establishing formal training for employees on communications skills for associates, including in digital. We are a great firm for smart and entrepreneurial people and offer very much a positive learning experience for younger staff who want to learn and gain responsibility with larger team support.

Pros

They treat you like actual staff members instead of interns and you do actual work. You can guide how your internship goes and ask to be assigned to certain things or pick up certain items.

Kontras

Not much training or formal structure (good and bad), if you get a good team and manager you're good, if you get a bad team you're cooked.

Pros

If you want to become a better version of your professional self come here. If you want to work with friends, manage consistent tasks and leave with energy for happy hour maybe not. Everyone learns something. Company structure has interns and managing directors and senior associates providing value and learning opportunities equally. Moving into new office soon! Literally no space right now lol because of all the growth You constantly get to do new things and take responsibility for those things. Which is great for building careers and skill sets. Just a tough pace to keep up with. I keep a 9-6, but know others who work out of those hours. I just have a really busy 9-6.

Kontras

This is the toughest place I’ve ever worked lol. Not an easy job… they’re growing incredibly fast and everyone is at the top of their game so it can feel hard to keep up. But I’ve never learned more so that’s something 😮‍💨 AND EVERYONE STILL REQUIRES QUALITY AT A HIGH SPEED Inconsistent expectations across all levels. Lotsa new people, maybe not a con, it just feels like everyone is training together at times. Also because DC is changing so rapidly. Weird that there isn’t an HR team. Most people don’t have a direct reporting chain or a singular manager to go to. They have many! I think it’s a con but can be either.
