Former Employee – worked at Fleishman-Hillard

Pros – Employee and peer respect is one of the core values, and for the most part it's true. Out of all the communications firms to work for, this is the place where mutual respect was demanded, and smarts outweighed the typical bells-and-whistles approaches of other PR agencies.

Cons – FH can be "stodgy" and too "old school" at times, and innovation is something with which they struggle. Also, there isn't a great work/life balance, but then again, this is a PR firm.

Advice to Senior Management – I would advise that they keep their eye toward innovation and allocate the budget needed to make digital services grow and flourish.

Former Employee – worked at Fleishman-Hillard

Pros – Great name and experience to take with you. It opens doors at many other places. The environment is very professional and preparatory to what's ahead in the field.

Cons – Some of the other interns did not like the departments they were in or the workload they received. My group was great, the work was exactly what I wanted to do. So I suggest you know what you want to do and apply specifically with that particular team.

Advice to Senior Management – Management does a great job, generally. I think more interaction with higher management is one of the biggest gaps to fill. That is one of the best ways an intern will make an impression, so reach out more often.
