Pros

There's an opportunity to meet some amazing people and work with some interesting clients. It's a great opportunity for those starting their PR careers who can learn valuable skills. Great corporate benefits including the gym membership scheme.

Cons

There's a lack of career progression, lack of diversity and low salary offers. There's an extremely high staff turnover and it's a shame because some problem areas can be easily fixed if people took the time to listen to their employees. At times it can be a toxic work environment and unprofessional behaviour is allowed to play out despite the company's values.

Pros

Culture, co-workers, and clientele. Some agencies can have a toxic work culture, but I was very happy to not have that experience here. AxiCom, and the people who make up this company, are very special, and very talented.

Cons

The only downside I can think of is one that I'd have for most agencies. There's a lot of pressure to pitch and win new business, and it's sometimes hard to squeeze that into your current workload. But again, all agencies I have worked for have this problem.

Pros

Work from home flexibility is nice

Cons

Juniors are abused with a large workload and don’t get compensated nearly enough. Managers lie and manipulate to blame junior employees. It’s an extremely cliquey and political culture. One of the top leaders in the company wore a political hat on a Teams call and people never hesitate to fill the Teams chats with liberal political rhetoric. I’m not even political, but this was too much for me. The management are all friends and decide the “in” group. If you’re not in the group, you better be happy waiting a couple years for a promotion. To get in this group you need to Jester around and participate in dumb activities. Your manager will basically make you make a slide show on some popular topic for the useless weekly meeting on Fridays. This is how you get promoted. Jobs in late stage capitalistic society, am I right?
