Great home for PR pros who can deliver results - Senior Account Director Fusion Public Relations Employee Review

- given several opportunities to grow skills - managers and mentors are very encouraging and motivating - great for internship; smaller company meant one on one time with team members, very hands on

- lack of company culture

There are no pros or reasons for anyone to work here. There’s ton of other companies out there.

Toxic culture/ lack of strategy and structure: 1. To begin, they’re a group of 8-9 people who’ve known each forever, with a failing roster of exiting clients. All their clients they’ve won are word of mouth. 2. There’s no real strategy behind their comms practices. It’s throw spaghetti at a wall till something sticks. These folks have 0 media relationships. They will ask you to pitch 300-400 reporters a day without a plan - after hours and even on holiday weeks. 3. There’s 0 career growth since there’s nowhere to grow. Same 4 directors who take orders from the partner who’s incredibly awful and rude to the entire team. The team rolls over anyone who’s trying to do anything strategically. Everyone’s attitude now is “just do what partner says and there won’t be issues”. On a team of 3-4 people per account it’s incredibly awful work environment. About 4-5 people have left in this past year due to this persons behavior. Everyone else is aware but refuses to stand up out of fear of their job. 4. The firm has 0 resources, subscriptions, support for actual PR professionals to do their job. 5. Terrible benefits (health insurance and 401k), and PTO and holiday calendar. They don’t match retirement contributions, health insurance is very expensive. 6. Their team is fully aware of their shortcomings and so won’t post any jobs themselves and use recruiters to draw in talent under false pretenses, lying through the interview process and then trapping them.
