Overworked, Underpaid and Lied To - Account Executive Echos Communications Employee Review

Working here was so great and I learned a lot. I loved how everyone got along and it felt almost like a family.

At the time it was the pay.

My internship at ECHOS was a genuinely rewarding experience. From day one, I felt like a contributing part of the team not just an intern doing busywork. I had the chance to support hands-on projects like media list building, trend and competitor research, and even drafting press releases and pitches. These opportunities gave me real insight into agency workflows and strengthened my communication, time management, and critical thinking skills. The team I worked with was incredibly collaborative and supportive. They made space for learning, encouraged questions, and consistently offered feedback that helped me grow professionally. I appreciated how approachable everyone was even though direct interaction with leadership was limited, the mentorship I received from my account team more than made up for it.

As with many internships, face time with executive leadership was limited, but I never felt disconnected or undervalued. The structure of the internship focused more on working closely with account leads, which gave me the mentorship and context I needed.
