Maxwell PR Reviews

-Lots of last minute asks -Hard work life balance

Endless challenges — the biggest one being the extremely toxic culture. Title and seniority was valued above all here. I was excited to join a female-majority company but found it entirely toxic which was disappointing to say the least. The interview process took months — highly unusual for such a junior role — and you’re expected to take whatever pay is offered regardless of market value (and it was well below market value). I’m actually not sure why I accepted after the director I interviewed with literally scoffed at my request for higher pay. Hours exceed 50 hours a week and it’s looked down upon if you leave at 5. Looking busy is apparently valued above actual productivity. Overall the experience was certainly not normal. I feel bad for coordinators entering the workforce and being told this is how it is. I repeat: It is not normal. And it’s certainly not worth the low pay and high hours expected of you. I’m guessing that’s why turnover was so high.
