This place is a sweatshop

Marketing and communications manager

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

I made wonderful friends. If you have no friends or family and you are desperate for work then fine.

Cons

The worst company I've ever worked for. Grueling workload, high turnover, low pay. You'll be called a manager so that they can make you salaried, even though you will have no one to manage. If I calculated my hourly pay based on the actual hours worked it was much lower than minimum wage. Also, forget ever seeing your friends and family again.

High Turnover, Glorified Secretary Work

Senior associate

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Most of the people are pleasant and well-intentioned. I was fortunate to get to work with one of the best account leads there who genuinely cared and worked well with the team to advance projects and event planning.

Cons

The tasks I was given were way below my skill level. It was glorified admin work, even at the Senior Associate level. I had zero incentive to be passionate about my work or the clients I was working for. Cubicle land. Clique-ish environment depending on which client you work for. One of the upper level account executives also demonstrated inappropriate workplace behavior on multiple occasions.
