Pros

Good client roster, free gifts.

Cons

Horrible work-life balance, very little training, extremely stressful, verbally abused by publicists, get no lunch break (which is illegal), barely have time to go to the restroom, hours are way too long, incredibly understaffed and underpaid for how much work there is, you have no life if you work in the talent department here.

Pros

There's a 20 word minimum for this but I have nothing good to say about this company.

Cons

Ridiculous management. Petty and will not provide any feedback until the moment you make a mistake. Extremely negative and unhelpful. Attitudes left and right.

Pros

Good client roster The film department has better hours and culture than the talent department Decent health and savings benefits

Cons

Petty management Long hours - longer than other Entertainment PR companies Barely any OT when compared to all of the overtime worked. You basically only get paid if you are at an event. If you are in the office until 9pm working on regular tasks you will not get OT High turnover rate
