Pros

I joined the copy team three years ago when there were around 12 writers. Today, it’s double that. Such fast growth means the progression opportunities are definitely there if you’re willing to work hard. I’ve never worked for a company where a manager is so well-liked by a team, and that’s because he’s just as involved as we are. You’ll never have to think twice about asking him anything. In terms of workload, we write for a global market across almost every sector, so there’s always something new. With well-structured training sessions for new starters, everybody is given the support to make the best first impression. And one of my favourite things is that individual achievements are shared with the whole team, and everyone is genuinely happy for one another’s successes. We also have something called PH Perks, which means we get the morning off the day after our birthday, free gym membership after two years, free fruit, tea and coffee and there’s an in-office bar. We’re also treated to two annual company events – the Christmas party and Summer Soiree – both of which are an absolute highlight and always incredible! Overall, I’d say it’s the perfect place for an ambitious copywriter to nurture their skills and be part of a very talented team.

Cons

A hardworking ethos and values like ‘irrational commitment’ are not for everyone, but putting in the extra effort never goes unnoticed.

Pros

Motivating and enthusiastic environment. PHMG always want to be better as a company which reflects your personal mindset. Opportunity for real career progression.

Cons

If your not willing to put some hard graft in you can get left behind, however this is the same with everything you do in life, if your not willing to work hard then there will be an issue. Holiday isn't a given it needs to be approved with good timing.

Pros

Brilliant place to start a career if you're willing to work hard and put the hours in - I've been here two and a half years, been promoted twice, and been given the opportunity to help build up a fantastic creative department (which is now a real force to be reckoned with - the talent coming through the door really keeps your on your toes). The office is always lively to say the least - and as someone who moved to Manchester for the job, people couldn't have made it easier to make friends, and I've always had loads of support from senior staff.

Cons

You can't be afraid of hard work if you want to make it here - this can include long hours sometimes, but it's out of choice, and never goes unnoticed by senior management
