Pros

- If you prove yourself you will be doing genuinely very important client work fast - Red Flag's work is business critical for clients and most other agencies can only dream of being as close to their clients as Red Flag are - CEO and upper management generally very good for mucking in and leading by example - Generally very understanding management - Good work perks, company lunches, travel, etc - The opportunity to work on a broad spectrum of comms work, everything from public affairs to PR to digital, if you like it and show potential you'll be encouraged to specialise in an area that suits you - Working with extraordinarily smart and talented people, even compared with other agencies in Dublin Red Flag has some of the best

Cons

- You will be working on important work, if you are up for it, but with that comes pressure - No room to hide, if you are not up to it and not delivering you will be found out fast - You will have to know your own worth, it is up to you to take the initiative a lot of the time so do not copy what you think works well for others, try to carve out your own way so you don't end up getting dragged along somewhere else - Be aware of when you need to switch off, it can be difficult

Pros

Comfortable work environment. Growth opportunities if you perform and show initiative.

Cons

I could not stand the elitist, dismissive attitude of management towards the very people they tried to influence. The nature of the job in a middling lobbying agency is, as expected, very toxic. The clients will be mostly associations of companies from various industries, for all of whom there is a reason they need to contract the agency to influence public opinion and legislation. But again, if your politics align with what these companies do or if you don't mind and are able to leave your conflicting morality at the door, its a pretty nice spot to grow.
