Pros

Definitely a great place to have on your resume when starting your career. Either a great place to give you a taste of the PR industry or a great place to wrap up your internship career before getting that first salaried job. Many great clients and teams that can make an intern feel like an AAE as opposed to a replaceable intern. You definitely receive a taste of what a full-time position in this industry would be like.

Cons

Some of the strongest cliques that you can find in a professional environment, very similar to high school.

Pros

Felt like I was getting paid to learn about PR 40 hours a week from the best in the business Agency embraces integrating social media and traditional PR more than any other firm I know Tasks were assigned to the correct job levels Options but no requirements to get involved in nonbillable work such as business development and the office blog Great clients - really understood PR and treated the agency well Average-to-low staff and client turnover Management comes up with creative, fun ways to boost employee morale Better agency-wide work/life balance than Edelman or Waggener Edstrom

Cons

Management creates an environment that's more hierarchical than competitors' and devalues employees below account executive level (only offering recruiting bonuses for AE and above, for example). Management purposefully cycles interns in and out while lying about the likelihood interns will get AAE job offers. Edelman Seattle trains its interns better and Waggener Edstrom hires more interns on as permanent employees.
