Pros

DCI will give you a lot of responsibility at the junior level which allows you to learn quickly and have exposure to clients early in your career. Opportunity to be on a variety of client teams

Cons

Junior staff is over-worked and compensated poorly. For being DC-based, the pay is subpar. HR is not efficient and requires a number of follow-ups to get emails answered. Some great leadership, some very poor and unethical leadership. Opportunity to grow within the firm is limited due to outdated outlooks. Lacks diversity and doesn't seem to care. Toxic work environment - 18 employees quit in Q1 and Q2 of 2021. Had a COVID outbreak due to little-to-no safety polices and forced employees back into the office with no flexibility. Management committee is three, white men who make all of the decisions.

Pros

Great place to start a career in PR. You get immersed quickly into projects and work with all sorts of clients. Your experience will drastically change depending on your team and who your manager is as they will be the ones vouching for you. They have a good concept of training if you find the right people and ask questions.

Cons

You work long hours and are given no real sick leave. The culture can be clicky and can sometimes feel like you are being pinned against your co-workers. It easy to feel burnt out and overwhelmed.
