Pros
I couldn't ask for a better place to work. There is a commitment to excellence at Bateman that quickly rubs off and motivates you to be better. We all work incredibly hard, but have a lot of fun doing it—the office is always filled with laughter and it sometimes feels more like a startup than a PR agency (and yes, we have do love our Bateman hoodies!). There is a very clear career progression path. Promotions are made fairly and you always know where you stand in the process. In the last few years as the company has grown, the company has also built out dedicated Content and Media Practices, so there is the option to specialize if that makes sense for you. On the other side of the token, people who don't hold their weight or have huge egos don't last long here, which keeps motivation high among the rest of employees. Great clients, and we're increasingly working some of the most exciting startups/larger tech companies in the nation. To support personal and professional growth, Bateman also has mentorship and professional development programs, the latter which includes brownbags related to media, writing and client service issues. If you have a chance to work here, do!
Cons
Can't think of anything major. Like most agencies, the job can be stressful and you're constantly multi-tasking but staff keep fairly normal hours most of the time.
