Pros

As a young professional you will learn an immense amount of tools for successful media relations, writing and how to adapt to each client's needs. Your growth is dependent on your hard work and managers are more like coaches that want to see and help you succeed.

Cons

Edelman does not reward the hard work of it's employees with appropriate compensation. The long hours it takes from employees to make Edelman a top agency doesn't seem to factor too much into the equation for management. Many employees often feel overworked, overwhelmed and underpaid.
