Just really sad - Public Relations Thrive PR + Communications Employee Review

ThrivePR offers exposure to a very interesting and diverse portfolio of clients across industries, including consumer brands, wellness, automotive, and lifestyle. From global names like LEGO, Johnnie Walker, BYD to emerging brands, there are plenty of opportunities to broaden your knowledge, develop new skills, and work on impactful projects at scale. The agency also provides a flexible hybrid work arrangement and fosters a positive culture where achievements are recognised weekly during agency WIPs. Team members are celebrated during those WIP meetings, and peer-nominated monthly rewards are a great way to acknowledge contributions and make people feel valued.

As with many fast-paced agencies, priorities can shift quickly depending on client needs, so adaptability and strong time-management skills are important.

Trauma bonding gave me some strong friendships.

Please take the negative reviews here seriously — they reflect the reality of the environment. Working at Thrive was the worst period of my life, both professionally and personally. I’m still in therapy and trying to heal from the trauma of my time there. Writing this review is part of my own closure, but I also hope it helps someone else think twice before accepting a role here. The way employees are treated is genuinely shocking. Stress, anxiety and burnout were constant and almost everyone around me was unhappy or struggling. I felt dehumanised, unheard and completely unsupported. The culture is incredibly toxic (driven from the very top) and this behaviour is enabled and rewarded by management. Advancement appears to come at the expense of others. I worked at Thrive for one year and during that time around 40 people left the business due to the environment, that level of turnover speaks for itself.
