Agency experience - Account Executive Behrman Communications Employee Review

I have worked at a few agencies and have a strong understanding of what to expect when it comes to agency life. My experience here was good - I built strong relationships, worked on exciting brands and was given opportunities that helped shape my career. Senior staff is always supportive and open to conversations surrounding client work and staff. Constant check ins helped us build a comradery and ensured that no one ever felt like they were alone with a heavy workload. We hosted really fun events and created dynamic opportunities for our clients. Loved being a part of all of the new business opportunities and learning how to apply our case studies to future work.

The long hours and heavy workload will always be a case study problem for PR agency life. Learning how to balance it is what keeps most of us in the industry. Adapting to new industry shifts and protocols can be challenging when there is a lot of work to do and only so many hours in the day

Built good relationships with clients.

The work environment is extremely toxic. I asked for help multiple times and it was met with annoyance or no answer. There is no opportunity to grow here and I was set up to fail from the beginning. The other members of the team belittled me and made it clear that I wasn’t a valued member of their team. The company seems to cycle through junior staff with no regard for their staff’s well being or professionalism.
