Pros

Good client roster The film department has better hours and culture than the talent department Decent health and savings benefits

Cons

Petty management Long hours - longer than other Entertainment PR companies Barely any OT when compared to all of the overtime worked. You basically only get paid if you are at an event. If you are in the office until 9pm working on regular tasks you will not get OT High turnover rate

Pros

One-of-a-kind experiences working with some of Hollywood's top names/companies. Great people within the company. Lots of unique experiences.

Cons

Toxic tendencies of PR are a status quo. More focus more on bottom lines than the teams achieving the projections. Minimal consideration for low-level employees. Minimal work/life balance.
