Pros

A year’s worth of regular layoffs means more work for everyone still hanging on. So I guess you won’t be bored?

Cons

This review originally met the community guidelines but then was mysteriously taken down. Curious. Let’s hope Bospar doesn’t try to get this review removed as well. DO NOT WORK HERE. I promise you unemployment is the better option. I don’t know who is writing these hostage-style fake glowing reviews. This company is spiraling the drain. Don’t believe all their self-promotion about being a “fast growing PR company” or whatever awards they’re touting this week. They’ve gone through so many rounds of layoffs this year, ultimately cutting about half the staff. Everyone who is left behind is miserable but desperately posting on LinkedIn about how great the company is, all in a clear attempt to win the Please Like Me Olympics so leadership doesn’t put them on the chopping block next. Meanwhile, they’re applying for jobs like crazy to try and get off the Titanic. Bospar leadership will sell you on a myth of work-life balance but expect you to be on call for leadership and clients at all hours of the day, night, and weekend. They’ll overload you with 2 or 3 times as many clients as other PR firms will assign you, deny they gave you that big of a caseload, then blame you for not meeting the needs of all 10+ clients on your roster. And they LOVE meetings. The more pointless meetings they can force you to sit silently through so you have less time to do your actual work, the better. Leadership will gossip about you behind your back, both about work-related issues and your personal life. I don’t think I can share the things they say about their employees without this post getting taken down for vulgarity. The principal of the company, Curtis, is a raging narcissist. He even made the layoffs all about himself, crying crocodile tears while firing people and talking about how much it hurts HIM. Between that and constantly bragging about being a “fast growing PR company,” I don’t know if there’s a person alive more tone-deaf than Curtis. I guess Bospar technically is fast-growing…if you mean negative growth.

Pros

All appearances lead to this being a great firm, good healthcare offering

Cons

Bospar is clearly going out of business or will be forced to become a boutique agency as the multiple layoffs indicate. The fake positive Glassdoor reviews and faux enthusiastic social media posts are jarring — and immediately seen as disingenuous to current employees and recruiters alike.

Pros

Bospar always works with interesting, succesful clients in various industries, such as information technology, cybersecurity, fintech, insurtech, martech, healthtech, cleantech, human resources, consumer tech and government. The company has teams that specialize in content, PR, media and analyst relations, social media and marketing. Bospar provides great opportunities in all those areas of specialization. The colleagues, culture and diversity are great.

Cons

I don't have any cons.
