Pros

Lots of varied clients which offers the opportunity to learn about different types of businesses. The agency is well-known and has won several awards recognizing their work.

Cons

Fickle owner/founder. Underbids projects ignoring the realistic time involved in delivering services. Known throughout the community as being difficult to work with. Low pay, especially in entry-level/assistant positions, though the workload is heavy. Typically expected to work overtime with no compensation.

Pros

During my tenure at the Caliber Group, I managed public relations and had the opportunity to help shape thought leadership, as well as weigh in on some very interesting community outreach projects. The owner and I worked closely on projects, where I was able to learn from her experience and push myself out of my comfort zone into new professional territory. This is a great way to get better at your craft. She put a lot of faith in me, even when I didn't always feel it myself! It was an excellent learning opportunity that made me better at not only PR, but in helping to lead in many new areas of communications where I had never worked before. Nearly a decade later, I am still using those lessons as a PR strategist for the largest hospital system in Oregon.

Cons

This was a great learning experience for me and the owner gave me the opportunity to grow. Growth can be painful, but it's certainly not a con!
