Yikes - Anonymous employee Kellen Company Employee Review

As someone in communications, this job was a dream for variety and hands-on experience. I got to work across multiple trade associations and industries, which meant every day was different—and never boring. Sitting at board meetings with Fortune 500 reps was an incredible opportunity to see how big decisions happen and make real connections. The work pushed me creatively and strategically, and I loved getting to collaborate with smart, passionate people while learning the ins and outs of so many different sectors.

One downside is that promotions didn’t always match talent or creativity. Some of the most skilled, innovative, or outspoken team members didn’t necessarily move up as quickly, while people who played it safe and fit a more “vanilla” mold tended to get promoted faster. It could be a bit frustrating at times, but if you’re motivated by the work itself and the experience you gain, there’s still a lot to learn and accomplish.

- Enjoyed my time here as a first job out of college - I had wonderful co-workers
