Vantaggi
- Work with some pretty cool clients - I came away with a few friends who I still keep in touch with, though we mostly bonded over how much we disliked our job and our fear of upper level management - My experience taught me a lot about myself and what I'm looking for, not only in my career, but in a company and its values
Svantaggi
- Zero company culture, team building activities, etc. You come to work, write press releases/pitches, email spam reporters then come back, do it again the next day and pray for a bite from a big news outlet - No feedback or reviews, you MUST ask for one-- do not make this mistake. Everything is hush hush and if an upper level employee doesn't like you it's only a matter of time before you're on the chopping block - The boss has very obvious favorites and if you're not one of them you should be worried. You must make a strong effort to get on her good side if you decide to work at The Rosen Group - Huge disconnect between upper and lower level management. You are afraid to ask questions out of fear it'll get back to the boss because people BCC her on emails. Which brings me to my next point... - Some sneaky coworkers. If you're doing something incorrectly you can be sure they are relaying it straight to the boss instead of giving you constructive feedback. Everyone is out for themselves and it's constantly apparent. - My "training" involved clicking through the shared F drive and reading old press releases, pitches and other collateral from previous years - Perhaps the biggest con for me was that it was a very uncomfortable working environment. No one speaks unless it's work related. The office is so silent you could hear a pin drop
