Life-Friendly Company Dedicated to its Tight-Knit Staff - Account Supervisor Sterling Communications Employee Review

I worked for Sterling during the Summer of 2015. - Everyone I worked with was more than happy to answer any questions I had, and I had plenty of them, and connect me to projects that I was interested in - Having never worked in PR or at an agency, my experience at Sterling made me catch the storytelling/creative work bug and changed my career path for the better - Sterling has so many interesting clients you're never doing the same things day to day, makes working there so much fun - Sterling culture means continual innovation for client projects and deliverables. The team is open with communication and developing each project to bring out the best in their employees and, ultimately, for their clients. - Being surrounded by passionate hard working individuals who are dedicated to providing only the best for their clients is so inspiring and pushed me to do my best

- none that I can think of, I would go back in a heart beat

Sterling's head of content is extremely knowledgable, experienced, and an asset to the company.

- The culture is not what they try so hard to portray in the interview process. Know that the interview process is the best you will ever be treated at this company. They pull out all the stops for interviewing/onboarding when the actual day to day experience at the company couldn't be more different. - Toxic, hypocritical environment with lots of turnover and excessive micromanaging. - Employees are treated, compensated, and promoted inconsistently, most of the time based on how close you are with the CEO and head of HR. Employees are encouraged to work on their relationship with the CEO if they want a promotion, it's not based on merit. - Big brother mentality rucks amuck here. They review your Slack messages, keep track of your ins/outs, hold it against you if you leave at 5pm or work from home, etc. - Firing of employees seems to happen inconsistently, and without a rhyme or reason. Some people are given passes for years upon years after egregious behavior, and others are let go after months over minor offenses. - Seems like they will take any and every client...no big names, and lack of interesting projects. - Politics are often discussed openly in the office, and leadership assumes everyone has the same views.
