Hoffman Agency Reviews

Former Employee – worked at Hoffman Agency

Pros – A bunch of very professional PR people, doing excellent work for the clients. Probably the best PR-Agency I've worked for even know about.

Cons – Limited possibilities for career growth and a tendency to put workers w/ visa dependencies in a disadvantage

Advice to Senior Management – Senior management needs to become better at guiding employees, opening up careers w/in the agency and allowing people to grow. While there's a lot of small perks like get-together's, luncheons etc., the agency should think about how they invest in employees in the long-term. The top-leadership seems somewhat removed from the daily issues of life and needs to reflect employee value in salaries and bonuses better.

Current Employee – been working at Hoffman Agency

Pros – The VP of my tech group was everything a boss should be: humorous, encouraging, calm in a crisis, a natural teacher.

Cons – The main reason I left was for a better life/work balance. I just couldn't handle the travel required by my clients and my family obligations.
