Pros

NO PROS- Even if this is your last resort/only job offer within the PR industry DON'T accept it! It's a complete mess. Upper management are two-faced and takes advantage of entry level hires. THIS AGENCY HAS A BAD REPUTATION FOR A REASON.

Cons

The 5 star reviews are all LIES and written by management. It's a scam to get you in the door and to increase their rating average. I wouldn't recommend this agency to anyone. A long list when it comes to cons: -Heather is increasingly bad-tempered, rude and unethical. She arrives and leaves whenever she pleases. She is a huge bully and every detail written in every bad review is 100% correct! -Bad Management: no training, no communications, speak badly of clients in front of everyone, management talks down to employees as though they're less than -High turnover! -Unethical behavior within upper management -No professional/career growth -Not allowed to work from home -Very little work/life balance -No HR: everything has to be dealt and approved by Heather. -No recognition for good work only mistakes -There is no "sink or swim" environment because you don't have the resources or assistance to even stay afloat. They wrote themselves they "don't have the time" and that is exactly what you will get, no time from them!

Pros

I started at Mindshare over two years ago and I have learned more about technology and PR while in this role more than anywhere else. Leadership has decades of experience in the industry and love to pass down their knowledge. They will go above and beyond to provide you with any resources you desire and the training you need, whether it be internally or externally. Public relations is about building relationships and this is an amazing agency to learn and improve those skills. Leadership has incredible connections with reporters and influencers in the industry and will gladly make those introductions for you. From my experience with the company, I felt I have been able to develop a skill set and an understanding of all the aspects and inner workings of the public relations industry. In addition to building skills to excel in my career, I have also experienced great culture. I always feel comfortable talking to my team members about what I want to improve and receiving advice and tools to do so. I never feel micromanaged it is apparent that my superiors care and want only the best outcomes for their employees and clients. I have always felt the utmost support from my superiors and Mindshare and the know they truly want me to succeed, as they do with anyone at the company. Working for Mindshare has been extremely motivating and the hands-on experience employees receive at the company will set anyone up for a successful future.

Cons

Nothing to add. Simply a rewarding place to work.
