Pros
Good pay Cool perks like "Summer Fridays" If you're willing to sacrifice your dignity and self respect for a decent salary and an early release on Fridays during the summer- then look no further.
Cons
Where to begin.. Leadership is hostile, condescending, unorganized and cliquey - once you're onboarded prepare to be thrown to the wolves. Unless you're a long standing employee - don't expect to be treated with any shred of decency or respect. The management team lacks fundamental organization, project management and prioritization skills - "everything is a priority" which is a direct quote when I inquired as to what the top priorities are. If everything is a priority, then nothing is a priority - but unfortunately, this is the motto the company culture is centered around. Being in such a fast paced industry, interdepartmental collaboration and alignment on initiatives and priorities is key - don't expect anything close to that here. They don't value you as an employee, they're only interested in seeing how much abuse you can tolerate - which they will gaslight you into believing that you're "thick skinned" and can "handle the industry." Comical as Executive Leadership can hardly be considered subject matter experts. A PR company that uses being "bicoastal" as a selling point and key differentiation factor SCREAMS incompetent. Everyone is bicoastal at this point. The behavior of Executive and Senior leadership is disdainful and abusive - imagine mean girls the movie - but as your leaders. I've never encountered such catty and flat out obnoxious people in my entire life - and I've worked for some real pills. During my very short tenure (less than 6 months) more than 10 people departed the company - I followed suit shortly thereafter once I realized there was no chance of anything getting better. I candidly asked a member of Executive leadership about all the negative reviews online during my interview process - "what is your take on all the negative feedback online?" Their answer was that the people who made those claims didn't have "thick skin" and "didn't align with the culture" and are low performers. I should have seen that as a major red flag but alas.. My advice, trust the heinous reviews you see and don't subject yourself to the hostility and flat out abuse here - RUN.
