Pros
Great accounts and a lot of responsibility from the start. Depending on your manager, you will grow enormously in a short amount of time.
Cons
Long hours. I can't compare to other agencies, but I usually work 12 hours a day, meaning that there is a hardly a work life balance during the week. Seems difficult to get promoted here.
Advice to Management
Hire more people for small offices with big accounts and plenty of new biz.

Pros
APCO is a great place to work at, you have many opportunities to learn and grow and they give entry-level employees a great deal of responsibility. Excellent culture.
Cons
They have extremely high expectations of all entry-level employees, meaning that even if you are just a Project Assistant, they will treat you as if you were early-mid level in your career.

Pros
The people are fantastic, and it's such a positive environment. From the time I've spent at the company so far, I can tell it's going to be a place where I can work with a great time but still be independent and pursue my own interests. The opportunities they offer, such as training programs and work-abroad programs, are exciting things I hope to pursue.
Cons
They don't offer full tuition reimbursement, only partial. Other than that, I can't really think of any downsides I've noticed since working at APCO!
