Pros
- people are generally nice and willing to help out. - cross-sharing of knowledge - possibly a good place to build your PR basics if you’re put on a well-staffed team with good managers. experiences vary so significantly depending on which workstream you’re on. - good welfare benefits (PTO days, remote work, lunch allowances)
Cons
- renumeration is a diff story haha they might lowball you if you have low self esteem so watch out!! and please advocate for yourselves. - favoritism, can be cliquey, some politics. u cld kind of avoid this if u play your cards right though - turnover rate is atrocious (though they always claim they are not the worst. i guess that’s supposed to make us feel better? it’s a race to the bottom really) - select workstreams and clients are clearly of much greater priority to management (understandably it’s all about the $$$). deprioritised accounts really fall through the cracks. really feel bad for clients who fall into this category because these accounts end up so severely underserviced and mismanaged. deprioritised accounts are usually understaffed and owned by very junior staff (max 1-2 years exp) who try their best but are limited by their level of experience (i mean if they could do manager level work they’d be managers right?) - promotion structure is extremely sus. it’s truly puzzling how junior executives are expected to drive accounts with minimal supervision but are deemed not experienced enough to be promoted? promotions are also frequently dangled but nothing really happens and there’s no real explanation for why promotions keep getting delayed too.
