Great place to work! - Anonymous employee Affect Employee Review

Since I've started at the agency, you can tell that Affect really cares and values their employees, and their company culture is top-notch. They really want to support and help employees learn and grow while at the agency, providing many helpful professional development sessions led by both members of the internal team and outside professionals. It is a place where I feel comfortable going to almost anyone on the team to ask a question or seek their guidance. In addition to many company benefits like summer Fridays, team get-togethers, and 2 PTO days for volunteering, Affect has an extremely supportive environment and is truly a great place to work.

If you aren't well-versed in certain fields - it may take some learning and getting used to their client roster. But the entire team is extremely supportive in providing helpful background and ways to learn about the industries where their clients are if you haven't had much experience in the healthcare, technology, and professional services fields.

Affect is an incredible company and the AAE role is a great starting point for anyone interested in a PR career. It's a small agency, so even though this is an entry-level role, your efforts & voice make a huge difference. This also means that you're given more responsibilities and privileges than you might in an AAE role at other agencies. Although this comes with potentially more work, it also allows new employees to learn a ton and do work that actually matters. On top of that, everyone at Affect is smart, caring, and, wants you to succeed. It's truly a team dynamic and senior staff does an amazing job at scheduling fun group activities outside of the regular grind.

None that really come to mind. The role is PR heavy, and although there are opportunities for marketing / social media, at least 90% of your time will be spent doing PR tasks. I would recommend only applying if reading that doesn't bother you.
