Pros

The staff themselves were lovely and supportive. Exciting clients. Learned a lot.

Cons

Neil Reading himself was absolutely vile to everyone around him. He shouted, swore at staff, bullied anyone he could and would give staff a public 'telling off' for insignifant errors (not stapling something correctly for example). The atmosphere was extremely tense and the way the agency was run was very old fashioned. Neil himself behaved in strange, tyranical ways (not sharing his diary with staff, storming into the office and switching off all lights making staff work in dim light, forcing staff to stand by his desk for 2/3/4 hours at a time passsing him printed out emails one by one until he ticked off his to do list). Any postiive reviews you see here I would doubt severely as the awful atmosphere affected everyone. Neil would like for us to create fake trip advisor accounts and write fake reviews for his resturant clients and looks like this is what might have happened on Glass Door too.

Pros

Long standing clients, colleagues are nice and easy to talk to/collaborative, you are given typical PR work but can get more responsibilities if you ask for it.

Cons

Lots of deliveries to make, company is old-fashioned (not much into the digital age), lots of downtime, boss ignores interns entirely and is rude to full-time employees.

Pros

Interesting clients in the lifestyle and entertainment industry.

Cons

Horrible time off policy in terms of both personal and sick days. Even lunch breaks were extremely monitored. However, the worst was the senior management. Even with an open layout office, the most interacting Neil ever does with his employees includes scolding.
