Toxic environment, but opportunities to grow - Senior Associate Crosscut Strategies Employee Review

The team puts a real emphasis on providing training and support to help colleagues grow into the next steps in their comms careers.

Not a con for me, but this is a hybrid workplace that requires some in person time.

Crosscut has a great set of senior communications leaders who are smart, detail oriented, and the firm is particularly "plugged in" in the health care and digital healthcare world. The clients are predominantly things you can "feel good" about working towards. This firm offers intentional trainings and the opportunity for junior communications professionals to get hands-on opportunity and grow with the company. The CEO of the company was understanding about my personal viewpoints and genuinely supported my desire to lead a personal brand outside of my role with the company, which was invaluable to me at the time.

As it can be in any crisis communications or PR setting, there will be times when work is more than 9-5.
