The worst place I have ever worked - Anonymous employee SPM Communications Employee Review

Thank you for your feedback and for calling out our great perks, which our team continues to enjoy today. It’s true that we try to hire those who align with our values – collaboration, creativity, responsibility, solid work ethic, positivity and respect, to name a few. Not everyone can be a fit and we’ve had some mismatches, as most any company does who has been in business 20 years. As we continue to evolve, our interview process has become more involved and that helps with team fit, camaraderie and commitment, overall. I do take strong issue with your comments about our PR practices and the work we do. That is simply untrue and disrespectful to our team. I am proud of their creativity and strategic thinking, which has resulted in outstanding results, award-winning campaigns and excellent relationships with long-term clients. To address your comments about our size and the opportunities we offer – it’s true that we’re not a big corporate agency. We like it that way. It’s why our interns consistently tell us they appreciate getting to do real, varied and hands-on work, rather than repeating the same task behind the scenes as is typical at some bigger agencies. From intern on up, we are able to get creative, be hands-on and have a direct impact on our clients’ business. Big agencies are great, and a good choice for many people. At SPM, we offer opportunity and advancement that go beyond titles for those at every level to learn, teach and lead. True to our size, we may have fewer titles than larger agencies and I hear and appreciate the importance of that for some people. The people who thrive at SPM tend to be more of an entrepreneurial, creative and strategic mindset and want to do bigger and better for their own development or for the good of the client team or agency. That kind of spirit is always welcome at SPM.
