Pros

Market leading accounts to work on Smart people, stong desire to be at the forefront of the PR industry Solid training and employee evaluation programs Opportunities to get involved in new biz Never boring

Cons

Expectations make work/life balance a challenge Over allocation happens frequently, since no time is officially reserved for management of personnel, required internal work or new business Quality of managers varies - as with all companies I suppose - some are so busy with new business and account work that no quality time can be spared for management

Pros

I worked with some of the brightest and best people in the business. Most of them are no longer with the company. Some good clients, and nice office space.

Cons

Very limited opportunities for growth. During my time they reduced promotions to only once a year, and made many excuses for promoting as few people as possible (despite becoming the first "$1B" agency at that time). Morale was extremely low. People were forced to come into an office with nobody they actually worked with. Common to be passed from manager to manager. At one point I had 6+ managers within a 10-month span.
