Pros

Off early on Fridays if your workload allows. Ideal downtown location, modern-style office equipped with snacks, drinks, etc.

Cons

"Lead with Kindness" is a nice value to have if you actually execute it the way that Kathleen does. However, the cliquey, judgmental environment from the rest of the agency does not welcome kindness in any way. The senior leadership act as if those below them are a complete burden, and gossip about each other constantly. There are of course a few exceptions to this, but most of the upper levels expect everything without giving any sort of direction/information, and when you ask a question in-person, you're advised to sit down and write it an email so they can get to it when they can (which doesn't promote a friendly, collaborative environment, like the agency's core values suggest, does it?)

Pros

The office is located in a good spot in the Loop and their salary offer was competitive. They have managed to reel in some interesting clients and have a good portfolio.

Cons

This place was the epitome of a PR firm trying frame themselves as a full-service agency. While they do have some creative talent, what they can actually do in-house is limited. I came from a strong social/digital background and was talked over or dismissed in every situation. There isn't a lot of process or systems in-place and I received no real training or onboarding but expected to come in and make an impact off-the-bat.

Pros

Great location and some super fun clients.

Cons

Almost everything about working here is tough. The sorority like environment. The lack of diversity. The narcissistic owner and rude CFO and support staff. The selfish leadership team. What more could you NOT want?
