Pros

A few nice people and interesting clients.

Cons

I am telling you now not to ignore the reviews you see here. That’s what I did and boy did I regret it. There is absolutely no structure or training. You are thrown in and expected to know where everything is and how to do everything. there are account executives who will bully you because you are new or lower on the chain of command. You work until 9 pm or later and it’s expected to do so. Genuinely a nightmare and the salary is absolutely so under the normal salary, a boutique firm could even offer more. The retention rate is so low there are about 7 people I can think of that have been there for over a year. Some employees have even picked up their stuff and walked out. I never write reviews on Glassdoor but I do not want anyone to have this experience. Do not be blinded by the big names and social media it is a PUBLIC RELATIONS NIGHTMARE.

Pros

Learned a lot about Fashion PR such as how to use Launchmetrics/Fashion GPS.

Cons

Unorganized. I heard pay was not the best. As well as their treatment of their employees.
