Pros

The pay was ok, but not worth it at the end of the day.

Cons

This company is talented at making themselves look a lot more professional than they are. Their company values are non existent. Management constantly moniters employees without their knowledge and or consent. Work environment was extremely cliquey, and there was an exuberant amount of drama and gossip within the top down management style of this office. Don't let their social media fool you. They know how to talk the talk, but can't keep employees for long. Stay far away and save yourself the trouble.

50th Parallel Public Relations Response
6y
It is unfortunate that you have chosen to make such a public display of your dismissal from the company. During your 4 months with our company, you were only given respect and space to voice your opinion. On countless occasions, you were given the opportunity to express how you felt about your role and your continued development within it. You were offered ongoing training opportunities, one-on-one coaching time and your concerns, when brought up were acknowledged and a plan to remedy them was put in place. You were given much trust and freedom to expand your skills and take on more client work with the supervision of our past Creative Manager. It was constantly expressed that the future growth of you and your role were of high importance to us. Zero tolerance is given to gossip, bullying and theft of time and resources. Should you like to have more of a conversation, you are welcome to call or see me when you are up our way.

Pros

I was grateful to work at 50th while still quite fresh out of my degree in communication. I wanted to do meaningful work on a local level, and 50th Parallel's vision resonated with me. I learned so much at the job, and management was open to giving opportunities for those who wanted to grow with the company. I really found that there. I gained skills on how to edit both audio and visual media which is something I am particularly passionate about. The work was intense at times but it was also very rewarding. While I've since decided to pursue a path on the journalism level of things as opposed to the PR side of things, I will always be grateful for my time at 50th Parallel.

Cons

My reasons for leaving the company had more to do with the desire to shift fields from PR to journalism as opposed to issues within the company. As I mentioned above the work can be intense and busy season is very full. But also like I mentioned above - you will be met with reward if you work hard.
