Pros
Nothing much to scream about, salary is on time. Some team members are helpful and supportive and you do meet a few good people along the way who make the day a bit more manageable.
Cons
Honestly, don’t think anyone regretted leaving this place. The biggest issue here is leadership and management. The director(s) are the most passive aggressive people you’ll come across if you don’t lick their boot. If you’re looking to start your PR journey, I’d think twice, as this isn’t an environment that encourages learning or constructive feedback. And the biggest joke is when the company “PREACHES” about growth, development blabalblaaa, BUTT we are not encouraged to challenge ideas. The boomer mindset of some directors here is WILD! Seriously, how can someone be in this industry for decades and still have ZERO clue about the industry itself? Don't even get me started on media relationships. It's honestly embarrassing when people in the industry don't even know who your directors are. Gaslighting and intimidation culture is another problem here. It is like they are wired to assert some sort of dominance to create fear Micromanagement is another huge issue and this company has a weird obsession over employees personal life. Like WHY?!?! Just stay out of it….focus on your own spouse and kids. The relationship with clients is also strange. We have had instances clients telling us directly that a particular director has a habit of throwing their own team under the bus. When clients can see it, you know it’s a problem. The turnover rate should tell you everything you need to know. People leave because they’re tired of the culture and leaders here. When people (directors) have been sitting on those chairs for donkey years maybe it’s time to reevaluate things on who's actually holding the company back.
