Pros

For those just getting started in PR & Marketing, DPR Group is a good place to learn the ins and out of the industry. You get to work closely with account executives on a variety of client accounts, and gain a lot of first-hand experience. The company promotes from within, so you can make your way up to a role as assistant account executive/account executive fairly quickly. The company offers great flexibility when it comes to your schedule and ability to work remotely. Every work day is also a bit different. Whether you're writing articles, conducting research, doing media outreach, or planning social media, there's always a variety of projects to take on that will keep you challenged and engaged. Workplace culture is also a plus. Employees not only work well together on client projects, but also keep the office environment fun.

Cons

At times, it can be challenging to learn some of the more technical aspects of clients' industries, especially if you don't come from a tech background. But with a bit of research and participation in client meetings, it's not too difficult to catch on. Senior employees are also always happy to help out with any questions you may have!

Pros

I was an intern at DPR Group and was offered a position after I graduated from college in 2007. I'm still utilizing the same skills today that I learned there 10 years ago. I became a better communicator, a better writer, and a better professional because of my time there. Even after I left in good standing to pursue a different career field, I remained in contact with leadership and continued to recommend them favorably. the Principal, Dan Demaree is a great guy, very personable, and straight forward.

Cons

It was a very interesting time in technology when I was an Account Coordinator. DPR Group specializes in Tech PR and things were changing at the speed of light in software, computers, databases, and tech in general. The core methods of PR remained consistent, but we live in a completely different world now and social media had barely taken off at the time. Today, SEO, Social Media, ect. are fundamental to communicating a message to your target audience, but it was all new territory back then. The one area where I never developed my skill set was PR consulting and strategy: understanding an employer and developing their messaging and branding that sets them apart. The leadership over the NC office at the time I was there was a little unstable which was probably the primary reason why I didn't grow as much there in my career as I probably could have.
