Pros

It's a job. You can learn something there, depending on your level. If you're junior, you can excel as long as you do nothing that intimidates the leaders.

Cons

Extremely long hours, lots of busy work that doesn't amount to driving results within an often sexist environment --against both women and men depending on who likes who. Very sorority-like. Lots of favoritism for people who have been there for a while, whether they're good or not. They freely admit that anyone with experience who comes there often doesn't stay long, because WS Chicago makes its own rules, many that don't have much to do with the real PR world. It could be nice place to work, but not without major changes in leadership.
