Pros

There are no positive aspects to this company at all.

Cons

This company is the worst company I have ever come across. They take part in illegal and unethical work practices, which is the main reason I left. Some of the things they did and the way they treated the few employees that did work for them was abhorrent. I would strongly advise against applying for any roles that should come up in the future. I do not expect this company to succeed as most employees have not been able to last longer than 6 months. The company directors make you feel guilty for asking for a sick day or putting your notice in because they have children and in their own words you’re the reason they can’t be with their children. The whole thing is completely mind boggling. How can two seemingly professional business owners act in such a way? I am horrified by the the things I have seen and heard after working here. Mental health is not taken seriously at all. You’re not allowed to take sick days, they will force you to work. I am shocked that this place is still up and running considering all they do to keep their clients is lie about any ‘leads’, which they consider to be someone opening a mass MAILCHIMP email to 5K subscribers. Do yourself a favour and spare yourself the mental anguish and apply to a proper company with good work practices.

Pros

I can’t name one finish at 5 on a Friday maybe

Cons

I was very young when I joined this company and was warned not to take the position however I did, I don’t regret taking the position as it unfortunately threw me into the toxic side of the fashion industry which did enable me to get thicker skin. However, it really knocked my confidence and I felt awful being there everyday. I will never forget how I was treated here, shouted at infront of other members of staff / clients. The belittling, the bullying, it was a really awful environment I will probably never forget unfortantely

Pros

My time at Black PR helped me to progress and learn, I handled some interesting accounts who were all lovely, worked with a great team of girls in the office, got to manage shows and events during London Fashion Week and press days, I made a lot of great industry connections and grew in my confidence. There was a great bonus scheme based on your performance at London Fashion Week which was very helpful as it can be hard work. After almost 2 years working there, I felt listened to and that my feedback about issues was taken onboard, it wasn't always the case and there were some difficult times but overall I look back on my experience in a positive light. It was the best job I've had in terms of my progression and I enjoyed my role and got on well with my colleagues, we had wellness vouchers and team building days out and overall it was a fun environment.

Cons

At the beginning of my time, I did find some issues with communication with the directors and some previous team members had more of a toxic attitude in the office, sometimes the environment was uncomfortable. But the team I spent the majority of time with were great and supportive.
