Vantaggi
The entire RLF staff is extremely kind, encouraging and passionate about what they do. It's an especially great environment for interns and entry-level employees. Everyone goes out of their way to help build up your skills and develop you as a professional. Unlike with some PR firms, RLF has a diverse client base ranging from financial services to tourism to restaurants. Management is very willing to put you on accounts in the industries that interest you most. Work-life balance is also great - this isn't a place where you'll be sleeping at the office. There are occasionally longer hours during client crises, but that's to be expected in PR. It's also a very social environment. There are regular office outings to baseball games, etc, and they do a little celebration for every employee's birthday.
Svantaggi
This isn't a con for everyone, but it is a small firm. Consequently, some of the clients are a bit smaller, so media relations can be a steeper slope to climb on these accounts.
