Don't believe the good reviews! The good reviews written for this company are 100% false and were written by upper management - I know this for a fact! Just look at the response the company gave to one of the bad ones - if that doesn't scream absurdity, unprofessionalism and crazy then I don't know what does. That right there should be your hint to stay away. In their words, now the facts - If you want to actually do/learn real PR, this isn't the right place to be. The president and his senior staff do not have PR backgrounds therefore they don't know the ins and outs of how this industry actually works. This plays into why hours aren't too bad because the day to day is just so slow and anyone who works for a respectable agency knows that that isn't very common. Upper management is beyond lazy, unprofessional, rude and psychotic to say the least. I've worked at numerous agencies and this was the worst turnover I had ever seen. The only reason upper management has stuck around is because they know they couldn?t get something anywhere else due to the lack of experience they have for their level. For a company that is already small to begin with, they have an entirely new staff every 6 months. The president is inappropriate beyond words. He will talk to you about things an owner of a company never should all while telling beyond fabricated lies. Literally everything out of his mouth was a lie (including the "british" accent he talked with ? I actually had clients flat out ask me where the accent came from because a year before he didn?t have one). Upper management gets their kicks by screaming about nothing all day long just so they can feel superior. Clients are subpar, this company will take on any brand because they're that desperate. Most are startups that don't have it together on their end and the work you do for them is bare minimum anyway. I?ve never done so little pitching in my life. Strategies make no sense and some events were just embarrassing. The president will claim he knows editors - he knows no one. They monitor every thing you do, including your personal items. They have ways of accessing every single thing you do on your computer, email and even your personal cell phone. They block every website manageable (social media sites, gmail, etc). My phone somehow reset itself when I left the company and my linked in was also somehow magically connected to my work email which I never set up myself. The president claims he worked for the government in the past (just one of the trillions of pathological lies he will tell) so maybe that's how he learned how to do those things (although it's highly unlikely). If the president sees you eating something bad, like pizza or a muffin, he will fat shame you for it and not let it go. He will force his views on you regarding religion, language and anything under the sun. Moral of the story - be smart and trust the bad reviews and stay away. I saw people quit after 3-6 weeks because they were just that miserable off the bat. You can?t work somewhere where upper management is not in the right head space and they care more about treating employees like children than actually doing work. If you want to be lazy and be able to get away with the bare minimum, you'll fit in perfectly.
