Pros
I have worked at a few agencies and have a strong understanding of what to expect when it comes to agency life. My experience here was good - I built strong relationships, worked on exciting brands and was given opportunities that helped shape my career. Senior staff is always supportive and open to conversations surrounding client work and staff. Constant check ins helped us build a comradery and ensured that no one ever felt like they were alone with a heavy workload. We hosted really fun events and created dynamic opportunities for our clients. Loved being a part of all of the new business opportunities and learning how to apply our case studies to future work.
Cons
The long hours and heavy workload will always be a case study problem for PR agency life. Learning how to balance it is what keeps most of us in the industry. Adapting to new industry shifts and protocols can be challenging when there is a lot of work to do and only so many hours in the day
