Pros

Good hands on experience if you don't mind being micromanaged. Work from home flexibility.

Cons

Toxic environment, calls people names, yells at employees in front of everyone, tense environment. You truly never know what's going to come out of the owner's mouth. Everything depends on the kind of day he's having. I think he has, but obviously can not speak for him, a bias toward men over women. Owner is completely inappropriate with what comes out of his mouth. I could write so much more, but it's not worth it-- the last terrible post someone wrote on here he ended up calling to get deleted. It was paragraphs long about the toxic environment. Stay away at all costs. I left and found an amazing new job that opened my eyes to what a company should really look and feel like. He's been trying to grow his company for years and still has less than 10 employees. Honestly just a verbally abusive environment. To top it all off staff is way underpaid with way too little of vacation days. Had the lowest pay and least amount of vacation of everyone I knew in my industry at my level. I felt this job was causing major negativity and interfering with my day to day attitude.

Pros

I really enjoyed my time at double e and am grateful for the year plus of experience and knowledge that I gained from working with great clients and a tight-knit, smart team. Due to the small company size, there is immense room to grow and ability to be hands on in all steps of the everyday PR process. I felt more responsibility at this job than most would at this point in their careers, but I take that as a good thing. AC's/AAE's also work with the clients everyday and pitch, write, and deliver results, but that's what makes it exciting. double e is fast-paced and has high expectations, and because of that the job feels very rewarding. Employees also get to work directly with the agency's President and Founder, who trusts that everyone has the talent and ability to deliver impactful PR results, no matter their title.

Cons

The workload at times can be heavy, but the agency's president is happy to help prioritize to-do lists or lend an extra hand if needed. There are a lot of moving parts to this job, which may not appeal to everybody, but it is a great learning experience for those passionate about PR and being fully immersed in the experience.

Pros

boutique size belies big opportunities at this Manhattan b2b pr shop. lovely place to work if you like close relationships with colleagues in a open office environment. nobody is a cog everybody is asked to think. people that flourish enjoy working as a team and supporting the positive spirit of the company.

Cons

if you don't like working with junior staff, this place is not for you. the agency is comprised of young people managed by a strong senior team.
