High Turnover. High Stress. Avoid.
Pros
PTO was decent. Coworkers at or around your level are fun to work with and talk to. The CEO emailed us once a month and it was always nice to hear from him. Good education on the media, PR, and branding landscape.
Cons
Very minimal pay for very minimal work-life balance. Employees are overworked, overstressed, and accounts are super understaffed and reliant on the work of junior staff that do not have the bandwidth to work on those accounts. Senior staff are incredibly toxic and promote burnout culture among junior staff while taking off significantly more time than the people actually doing the work on their accounts. Not to mention the fact that they're incredibly condescending towards their staff, both in written and in verbal communications. This is consistent across multiple reviews on Glassdoor. But, I suppose it's worth it if they can boast about their industry awards on LinkedIn or win a semi-big-brand account that they'll lose in two years because it was understaffed, not to mention that client expectations are never kept in check. Benefits are not great and, again, neither is the pay. PTO is pretty good, though.
