Pros

Sparkpr is one of the OG / earliest and will always be one of the top tech PR firms. Working here can be a great career move for some, at any level, who is media savvy, entrepreneurial, innovative and who enjoys going the extra mile to deliver great results for clients in the tech industry.

Cons

Agency life is not for everyone, especially after everyone went remote during the pandemic. That said, Spark continually evolves to find new ways to be a good place to work and attract and keep the best talent.

Pros

Flexibility. The company invests in our growth, and leadership will always go to bat for the team. Flexible PTO. Fully remote. We’re a small, “no-ego” PR agency where you get to take more ownership of your work and accounts. There’s not a lot of red tape or layers of management. How many agencies let you pitch ideas directly to the co-founders? Donna and Chris are very entrepreneurial and always looking for new resources or opportunities to make work better.

Cons

We’re a small PR agency, which comes with its own set of pros and cons. If you’re looking for a strict “9-to-5” role, this probably isn’t the place for you. There will be times when you’ll need to start early or sign off late. Is that every day? Absolutely not. Is it even every week? No. But it does happen. In a PR agency, client emergencies are part of the territory, and when they arise, we need all hands on deck. (That’s also why we offer flexible PTO—to give our team time to recharge). If your mindset is ever “That’s not my job” or “That’s below my responsibilities,” this won’t be a good fit for you.

Pros

If you enjoy working at dysfunctional companies with toxic work environments, then you might like working here. Otherwise, you're better off avoiding this company!

Cons

The managers here are the worst! They are toxic, hostile, and demanding; they're rude to employees, constantly make the most unreasonable demands, and couldn't care less about their well-being! Unless you want to suffer, avoid Sparkpr at all costs!
