Pros
I learned quite a bit about perseverance, anger management, maintaining my own decorum, nepotism, narcissism and how not to treat employees. Also, as others have stated, the views from the "break" room are absolutely spectacular.
Cons
I've hesitated to write this review for almost a year since I voluntarily ended my employment at PNAV. I do not like rehashing painful subjects, nor do I like "trashing" former employers, however, I've noticed an alarming trend here on Glassdoor of what are clearly fake/planted reviews, and I'm no longer going to sit idly by and let the star level be raised by these lies. Never in my working career have I seen such a culture of havoc within a workplace. Ms. Purohit does a spectacular job of micromanagement, there is no possible way to maintain effective processes in any level of this business, from client-facing AEs to Copywriters to Event Coordinators. No one is trusted to do their job and do it well, and this leads to levels of inefficiency that wouldn't be tolerated in any business sector. The lies that circulate the office outward to clients are rampant, going so far as to create "fake" nameplates to support the illusion of a larger workforce during important client visits to the 111 South Wacker Office. Having to uphold lies such as these makes one angry and disillusioned. During Ms. Purohit's many "teaching moments," her true narcissism rears its head as she bestows her many years of now-outdated marketing wisdom on you. It's okay, though, because she'll change her mind several other times and likely return to your initial proposal when the clients choose so. There are too many other examples of her narcissism to begin to share. Keep reading the reviews. The mentions of it are not exaggerating in the slightest. You'll be asked to work not just a lot of hours, but excessive hours--even for a marketing agency. Overnights. Weekends--calls Saturday evenings/Sunday mornings (I hope you don't ever indulge in adult beverages on the weekends, because it's difficult to work if you get that call and you've been imbibing--and you can't ignore because she'll just keep calling). There is no--absolutely zero--work/life balance.
