Pros

Clients were always nice, and I enjoyed the work that I actually did.

Cons

High stress workload, not the easiest people to work with. Very mean girl vibes.

Pros

When I joined, KNB Communications was an agency focused on an interesting and fast-growing field - healthcare technology - but it is hopelessly understaffed/under-resourced (not even a paid subscription to the Wall Street Journal) and will always struggle. Most of the clients had been sold a bill of goods known as the "Scope of Work" but in reality it was basically impossible to deliver what was promised given the limitations. Because of this, clients could make unreasonable demands and account managers had no choice but to accede to any whim, which could often include scrapping entire PR plans. Management employs a "do-whatever-it-takes" mentality, which often resulted in over-servicing and unprofitability, not to mention the predictable departure of some very good employees. More than one client had called out management for the revolving door of account managers but such discussions fell on deaf ears.

Cons

Where to begin? Compensation is below industry average and the struggle for new business to replace the inevitable lost business means no raises or bonuses. The president/managing partner is a sales/marketing guy who doesn't understand or value PR, so true business communicators are viewed as replaceable, either by junior hires or freelancers.

Pros

Wonderful place to work and a fun, professional team. Growing business with stability and eye on expansion. Dynamic work, exciting clients and flexibility to learn. Emphasis on both marketing and PR. Enjoy that no two days are exactly the same. Location is very inspirational.

Cons

There are some busy times during the year. Client work can be demanding, but reasonable expectations are set both internally and externally.
