Pros

You will definitely gain a lot of experience as an intern. You take on nearly the same workload as a full-time employee. If you are genuinely interested in PR, you will gain experience and contacts.

Cons

Employees are underpaid and overworked. You will be asked to work overtime and on weekends with no additional compensation. The CEO can be very nice and generous, however this will be used as leverage and held against you when you ask for more. The higher-ups also lie about things such as staff (telling clients there are 15 employees when there are only 4), create fake LinkedIn accounts for people who “work” there, and bury negative reviews with fake positive ones.

Pros

Started as an AE and rose to a Senior after 1.5 years. Was able to have continuous growth both in title and in pay. Was able to figure out what I truly wanted as a Publicist and ultimately left on great terms with my entire team.

Cons

Smaller teams working on accounts than bigger firms.

Pros

It is a small or firm which is cute but that all go out the window when you smell the cigarette the CEO smokes throughout the area.

Cons

I would have to say there are more cons the pro. First, you are given a ton of work. Even as an intern you will be given tons of Jr account exec work. Second, you are devalued as a human being meaning if you make one tiny mistake, the CEO will basically let yell at you instead of speaking like a civil human being. Also, she will make it very clear to you (and the whole office because she doesn't know how to have a private conversation and close the door) that you messed up and your Worthless. Most of all things that is terrible about this company are the foul things the CEO says about the clients. For a PR firm really serious about keeping their clients, the amount of smack they say about the clients is straight up terrible. Clearly, all these point define that they only care about making money and not about the clients or their workers.
