Pros

I was surrounded by other young, ambitious recent college grads and made a couple great friends. While most list building, pitch writing and mass-emailing feels super tedious, the experience served me well and built real PR skills (both in media relationships and client relationships). The Burlington office was dog friendly, and right on Lake Champlain. Highly recommend interning at PMG for a semester if you're in college in BTV.

Cons

I didn't always feel appreciated, and didn't learn much from the agency partners directly. That said, there were select moments of positive recognition, and birthday cakes. Gotta love cake.

Pros

- Professionalism at its finest among a friendly, hard-working, and extremely committed team of publicists. - Hands-on experience managing PR and communications strategy for a wide variety of clients across multiple industries, both in Vermont and beyond. - Research, reading, and professional development are all valued. - Healthy mix of independence/personal responsibility to clients with an engaged, supportive team. - Flexible work-shifting and time off; work hard & then play hard is a value at PMG. - A wonderful place and position to begin and grow a career in PR/marketing/communications.

Cons

- PR is demanding, and often clients' needs stretch beyond typical office hours. - A small team sometimes means you're on your own to get documents, emails, and tasks accomplished for your clients. Luckily, PMG works hard to ensure communications are strategic and professional from the very start, so you'll be prepared to handle accordingly.

Pros

- The #1 reason I joined PMG: Accommodating of staff's personal needs, including mine as a new mom. I've felt nothing but support and an understanding that family comes first! My previous agency was the polar opposite. - Fun, quality clients I can stand behind (The Republic of Tea, boloco and Rollerblade, for starters) - Fast-paced environment with opportunities to present new ideas - Your own laptop (IMPERATIVE this past winter, when we couldn't get to work!) - GORGEOUS location on Boston's Long Wharf - Straight talk and transparency. Take the current list of actual, current clients on the PMG website... that doesn't happen at many agencies! - Various forums to voice opinions/suggestions/complaints, publicly or anonymously - Awesome incentives and heaps of encouragement (cell phone and gym membership reimbursement, a media placement BINGO Board with $weet rewards) - REAL Unlimited Vacation (I've been played on that from other agencies) - Dog friendly - Better salary than many area agencies

Cons

- Occasionally have to follow-up on expense report reimbursements, but not a huge deal
