Pros
I started at March as an intern, and was quickly given a lot of experience and responsibility, alongside a lot of support, coaching and guidance from March. March is all about promoting from within and helping people develop the skill sets to become better, well-rounded PR pros. March has a very strong content and digital arm, and those people are often embedded on PR teams.
March also has a robust performance review, mentorship and skill development program. I ended up being able to move up the ranks and on to the management team in less than 7 years.
Throughout my time at March I had incredible experiences, getting to travel abroad, to major tech events like CES, and to work on some of the most exciting tech brands locally and across the US. March is very respected in the tech industry, with much of its business coming from referrals from current clients.
In terms of the people, I can’t say enough good things. The owners of the company genuinely care about each employee personally and professionally and are invested in their success. Some of my closest friends are current and former March employees.
I ended up moving on to try my hand at an in-house role, but have March to thank for developing me into the PR professional I am today.
Cons
Not much to say here. The work life balance can be tough, as is the case at any agency. However, if anyone’s workload is out of control, there is a huge effort made to fix it. And, as I was leaving, even more precautions were being put in place to get an even better birds eye view of a team member’s workload on a day to day basis.
