Pros

Some of the Senior Account Executives are good leaders and offer to mentor you to help your career. Many of them are former "newsies" so they are well versed in the PR world, and well connected in San Diego.

Kontras

Extremely low pay, no benefits. No PTO. Favorites are chosen early on, and if you are a mom you get special privileges. (i.e. work from home, set your own hours, etc) They do not value their employees, in their eyes everyone is disposable. It seems like they enjoy hiring very young women (right out of college) and making the agency seem amazing, while not even offering a living wage. The CEO's are all about the $$'s, sometimes this can compromise business ethics throughout the company.

Thank you very much for taking the time to share your thoughts. This is the owners/co-CEOs and since you are a current employee, we would love to spend time with you in person to hear more from you. We value all of our employees and welcome any and all feedback. In regards to no benefits, we actually offer health benefits and pay a significant amount of the key package so are unsure which benefits you are referring to. In regards to PTO -- we offer sick days, paid vacation days, paid holidays which includes 2 weeks work remote during Christmas/New Years. We also offer in office hours of 8am-4pm M-Thursday which is shorter than most other companies as well as work remote on Fridays for all. Several of our employees started with us as interns were promoted to coordinators and all the way up to Senior Account Executives. Once our employees work hard to prove themselves, they are promoted and paid above average in the PR industry. We have researched and have made sure this is the case! As far as work remote employees, those include sales people who are traveling and on the road as well as PR professionals who have over 10 years experience and are on the road doing on-air segments. It has nothing to do with being a mom and some who work remote are not moms and some people who work in the office are moms (including one of the founders). Ethics and morals are extremely important to us so we would love to hear more from you on what you are referring to or what you may have heard that is inaccurate. This Christmas, we donated 10% of all proceeds to purchase a house in Haiti for underprivileged children. We also gave each staff member a gift card to a grocery store to purchase food for the San Diego Food Bank. We also supported a local non-profit woman's entrepreneur event. And this was only in December this year, not including the rest of the year. Giving back is very important to us and we set those measures in place so are unsure where you have come to the conclusions that you did. We would love to hear directly from you and welcome you to come speak with us anytime. Thank you.

CEOs listen and care Career growth Fair compensation Hybrid to fully remote Supportive teams Overall genuinely good people Growing company

Kontras

Busy work Campaign performance and client happiness is everything. This is prioritized above anything else. So if you’re good you stay. If you aren’t good, you leave upset. More social events needed for teams

Pros

I worked with people who showed up and worked hard. I did gain experience that I’ve taken with me.

Kontras

I’m being honest because this experience stayed with me. The biggest issue for me was leadership and the day-to-day environment. Communication often felt discouraging instead of helpful, and feedback didn’t come across in a way that supported growth. Over time, it wears you down. There were also moments where interactions didn’t feel respectful. It could make you question yourself, even when you were doing your job and putting in real effort. That part was difficult. I showed up, did what was expected, and stayed committed. But it was hard to feel supported, and over time it became overwhelming. It had a significant impact on my mental and emotional well-being. Leaving was not only a relief, but it took time to recover from how overwhelming the experience had become. Because of my experience, I wouldn’t recommend working here. After leaving, I’ve talked with former coworkers, and those conversations helped me realize this wasn’t an isolated experience. It had a lasting impact on me and took time to recover from.
