Pros

Amazing place to learn and grow. Reasonable work hours. Nice, modern offices. I worked at KMR Communications as an account executive. It was my first paid job in public relations, although I have had previous PR internships. Because KMR is a boutique agency with clients nationwide, I was able to work very closely with the CEO Katherine Rothman and the director of PR. I learned more than I could ever have hoped to. As my learning advanced, I was able to go beyond the scope of typical entry level duties. I researched and wrote press releases, pitched all facets of the beauty, health and fitness media on local and national levels, assisted with weekly status reports to clients, oversaw the overall day to day operations of the company, pitched new business, and trained new employees. I am not the same person professionally as the day I walked into KMR. My experience here has taken me to a whole other level as a publicist. This is an amazing company for hard working, independent thinking publicists to make a career. The management is ethical, smart, inclusive, generous with the time they spend training team members, and fun!

Cons

I can't think of any!

Pros

This internship was the best thing I ever immersed myself in to get ahead in my career. Kathy is an incredible boss - willing to work with you, answer any questions with knowledge and care, and goes out of her way to teach you things about PR in the real world. I was so sad when this internship ended. Great, positive office environment as well!

Cons

Wish I could have worked more hours per week

Pros

Worked here during the summer and it was the best internship experience I have ever had. All of the publicists were very open to answering any kind of questions I had and the CEO herself sat down with me to teach me how to work with programs they use and how to do any of the tasks I was assigned. They always treated me like someone who was there to learn and gain experience and never made me do any tasks that weren't for my benefit like watering plants and going on coffee runs. I'm sad the summer came to an end because the experience was really wonderful and the people who work at KMR really know what they are doing. I feel like I learned so much about things they just can't teach you in a classroom. They even let me sit in on client meetings and handle important tasks on a daily basis. The company feel is like a family and they are very welcoming to new people!

Cons

Like most Communications internships it is unpaid but you have the option to take it for credit and they also provide you with a biweekly stipend which really adds up! Not only that, but they also pay for your parking so unlike a lot of internships you don't lose money by being in it. I found it was definitely better than what a lot other internships provide.
