Pros

Some recognisable big name companies to work across but at what cost?

Cons

• Agency takes on work for free to chase client wins and then just expects team to service them alongside paying clients with zero extra resource. • Leadership won't challenge clients on scope or timelines. Staff are left to absorb all the fallout and meet unrealistic deadlines. • Constantly understaffed and overworked. Burnout isn't a risk here, it's a given. • Everyones always so stressed and there's a lot of toxic culture and conversations happening (i.e., people talking behind each other's backs, blaming people for their own poor leadership and unhealthy diet culture among the women). • The 5-day office mandate is dressed up with perks (free lunch, Friday drinks) but the reality is a Sainsbury's order that's gone within 24 hours and a beer at your desk at 5pm on a Friday as you wait for the clock to hit 6pm. The office itself is also an unpleasant environment. Too many people for such a small space, and clutter everywhere (meanwhile founder has himself a nice big office). • Standard hours are 9am–6pm. Long days with no wfh flexbility.

Pros

You learn a lot about creative PR and different ways to create strategic communications plans. Clients are interesting

Cons

Very cliquey, management can be dull and emotionless. Junior team wants to be senior so bad they can be difficult to work with
