Pros

The brands you get to work with are incredible and very fulfilling

Cons

The two CEOs have zero concept of what is going on day-to-day; the mean girl talk, the bullying by veteran AEs etc. etc. The company is only 30 + people, all female, so the bullying gets pretty personal, awkward and uncomfortable. There is zero help from the "leadership team" when you run into a roadblock on a client. Instead, they'll begin to treat you pretty awful as time progresses and will essentially force you to quit. It's a toxic environment, and I was really disappointed when I found this information out... Most of the girls who are still there would completely agree. I stayed because I couldn't afford to not have a job. On my last "Town Hall" call one of the CEOs told all us girls that we should be appreciative and thankful that her, and the other CEO, were hiring more employees so that we wouldn't be spread so thin with work. She then concluded that, that new employee's salary could have gone towards a NEW PURSE. Disgusting..

Pros

Office is closed during the holidays (but you're still expected to work so it's not really a pro here)

Cons

MMPR is a great place for interns and junior associates learning basic PR skills, but unfortunately, if you are coming in with years of experience you will see how outdated their practices are and why other agencies are lightyears ahead of them. Client turnover is HIGH and the two owners are constantly onboarding new clients without hiring staff to support the workload. MMPR has a very quantity, not quality mindset and if you pride yourself in the quality of your work, please take a second to rethink this agency. There is no team structure or support, you are basically fending for yourself as this agency is top-heavy with no one taking on any workload to support the team. I came into this agency excited to work on a great "team" as promised in the interview, however that never was the case 9 months into the job. I strongly advise you to look elsewhere for a fulfilling career in PR.

MMPR is the place to be if you like 15+ clients and no support

Pros

New Los Angeles office is attractive (they put more effort into creating an Instagrammable space instead of focusing on the culture though, so not exactly worth it)

Cons

Where to begin? This place says that it prides itself on being a safe place for women, but it really just brings together a group of mean girls who bully. The leadership team is just people who have lasted over the years and don't really understand how to work anywhere else with anyone else. They also promote within so quickly that you end up with 24-year-old directors who are on a power trip (one girl in a management position ran around telling everyone a girl was getting fired hours before it happened). This agency should also not boast about being a fashion agency. They have clients all over the map (but actually...they have dentists and animal products) and care more about quantity vs quality. They also put each employee on 15+ accounts alone and don't provide any guidance on roles/functions. There are VPs who spend their time shipping boxes because they also don't have a shipping team to help.
