Vantaggi

The only positive is that you get to work with world class brands that do really cool events and partner with celebrities.

Svantaggi

This was the worst job I've ever had. I am still traumatized by this organization and the players that make up their leadership team. I call them players because this agency is a joke and a game. They only promote people they like and because of that there are a bunch of leaders in their early 20s who have no experience with management or employee growth. Their executive leadership team is scary and they frankly need to wipe out the entire top level and start over. No one gives feedback and they'll just start ignoring you and icing you out until you decide to quit. Working here is like being on a hamster wheel and you're going in circles until you eventually fall off and decide to leave. Long hours, inconsiderate senior leaders who talk to you with no respect, and a President who knows all of the bad things that happen at the agency and chooses not to acknowledge it because she has no idea how to attack the problem from the top. If you are interviewing for Corporate & Consumer practice, I highly recommend you turn around now as you will be working under the most dreadful and miserable human being who will do everything to make you feel as horrible as she always does. This agency is hell.

Great clients, decent PTO offering.

Svantaggi

Where does one begin? LaForce is a company that thrives off of shadiness, mediocrity and egotistical office politics. There used to be such smart and friendly people here, who were great to work with and learn from but LaForce has a way of burning out its brightest stars and forcing them to leave. If you have an ounce of talent, avoid this place. It’s unfortunate that so many great clients have the same turnover rate as employees. Leadership literally recycles the same outdated and tired pitch decks for new and existing clients, with little to no innovation. The place reeks of ego driven management, false sense of the cultural zeitgeist, and basic professionalism just isn’t there. Remember when you actually had to have media friendlies and connections to thrive in PR? Not at LaForce! No one (junior or senior) seems to have any to save their life or clients, and it’s probably because they treat people like transactions and don’t really care for anyone as humans beyond the work we do. If you have PR connections, expect to be bombarded with favors from teams who are struggling due to their lack of connections in the industry. Leadership has a serious problem across the board and they seem to avoid any responsibility for the current state of the business which isn’t good at all. No one has time to pour into the development of skills or growth, yet they blame junior staff for just about anything. All junior employees are extremely overworked due to incompetent and lazy management and understaffed accounts. If you bring up a problem or simply even try to find a solution to help the workplace be more efficient, the expectation is that you’ll take the lead and solve it yourself. Even then, your complaint will easily put a target on your back from senior management (this is unfortunately a direct quote.)
