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.

Senior team is not effective -- dead wood was finally cut, but lost the top performing senior person who was also chief morale officer

Move more quickly to make changes when people are not doing well in a particular role

Former Employee – worked at Hoffman Agency
Pros – Location is in a city. CEO is approachable.
Cons – People who work from home are disappear entirely. Immature and dramatic staff. Most staff come from very poor educational backgrounds.
Advice to Senior Management – Sr management doesn't know how to inspire. There's an expectation to work 150% but the pay is only 85%.

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.
Advice to Senior Management – Keep up the good work!
