AVOID - Account Manager Startr Co. Employee Review

I have worked at Startr Co for over 2 years and have nothing but wonderful things to say. In my time, my boss has been extremely flexible with me when I hit personal hardships, not to mention generous and understanding of my personal life. We have great work-life balance, a reasonable workload, resilient leadership, and a creative and fun team that works hard. It is clear that Startr Co considers its employees its biggest asset. We also have the best clients in the CPG industry!

Not much to say in terms of cons. There are some limited benefits due to the small, startup-type of company that we are, which is expected. They do their best to work around this and offer what they can. Yet, I have had a fantastic experience at Startr Co and greatly value my time here.

I have over 5+ years of PR experience and Startr Co. is in my top two favorite agencies I’ve worked at. I’ve grown from a media relations lead to now a manager and have learned so much and continue to do so everyday. Company culture is top notch and everyone on the team is so collaborative and supportive. Management is also very invested in everyone’s professional growth which is very important to me. I also appreciate that the agency encourages work/life balance. We spend more than half of our week working, so it’s important to me that I enjoy what I do and the people I work with so I’m SO happy I get that working at Startr Co.

This isn’t necessarily a con about the agency, but the PR landscape has changed so much in the past 5+ years that an agency like Startr Co. has had to navigate. A lot more is expected on the client side. Like with all PR jobs, you have to be able to work in a fast paced environment and manage client expectations, all while producing exceptional results. This job does require people to be confident, up for challenges, and willing to rise to the occasion.
