Pros

There is a great diverse mix of people with different set of skills. TEXT100 is shifting away from traditional PR work to more of an Integrated Marketing Communications focus. This results in a diverse range of accounts which presents a great opportunity if you want to further your skillsets.

Cons

There's still company politics abound. Pay grade is below average. No room for growth and promotion. There are some in office who have been in the same position for up to 5 years.

Surface-level positive culture, hides bigger issues

Pros

Some colleagues are quite capable, and there’s effort put into culture-building but unfortunately, it rarely translates into everyday reality.

Cons

Despite the outward appearance of a “collegiate” culture, the environment felt cliquey and exclusive. There’s a lot of internal cheerleading and corporate-speak, but actual morale on the ground is low. Micromanagement is a major issue. I rarely had the chance to take initiative or grow beyond narrowly defined tasks. While I was there, there were layoffs that left some teams stretched thin, but there didn’t seem to be real acknowledgement from leadership about how this impacted workloads or morale.
