Pros

The only pro of Fingerprint Communications is the potential the agency has. But with such a terrible team and skillsets, success cannot even be achieved and potential cannot be met. I guess the office location was nice too.

Cons

Where to begin? The schedule for one is insanity. 9-6 in the PR world is not unexpected. However, in a setting like this where hours were typically 8:30-7 and beyond with no breaks and pure chaos -- it was absolutely unbearable. No one in the office takes accountability. It is nothing but bickering, the blame game, and passive aggressiveness from grown adults. The inability to communicate amongst your own team should be a tell tale sign that you are all incapable of doing proper PR and communications for other clients! Clients were routinely unsatisfied as work and features were not being regularly produced at the expected rate. There was a lot of fluffing going on during client calls as the FPC team worked to save face. The CEO may have been a PR mogul about 20 years ago, but that was, well, 20 years ago. The turn over rate in the office should have been a red-flag, but staff is somehow able to convince you that it was always the other person never them. If you step out of the FPC bubble and into the LA PR world, anyone can tell you about the reputation FPC holds. Their systems alone are disorganized and they do not provide you with the proper resources to excel that other agencies offer. They also cannot keep clients for extensive periods of time which is enough of a con within itself.

Pros

As an intern for Fingerprint Communications, the work is fast-paced (think a New York agency), the expectations are high, the experience is unbeatable & when your internship is over, the examples of work you've done is unheard of for most internships. Thankful for this experience!

Cons

Can't think of any really... perhaps the LA traffic.

Pros

Got to work on some interesting accounts

Cons

From day one, it was evident that the atmosphere was suffused with unnecessary drama and negativity. Professionalism was lacking on multiple levels. Senior management set a terrible example by engaging in favoritism. This behavior trickled down, resulting in a work environment where respect and professionalism were nonexistent. The overall office culture was toxic . It had a direct impact on employee morale, leading to a high turnover rate. Many talented individuals left due to the toxic atmosphere fostered by the company.
