Terry Hines and Associates Reviews

I worked at Terry Hines and Associates

Pros – Great company to learn the basics of publicity and promotions. You can get red carpet experience and learn the basics of what the entertainment PR industry is like.

Cons – Work can be slow and you have to constantly ask for tasks. Street teaming can be a hassle sometimes as well.

Advice to Senior Management – You have to put yourself out there and get to know who works/what they do. By going to events and making yourself known, networking shouldn't be an issue.

Pros – You get to see movie screenings before they come out in theaters. You get to keep fun promotional items that the production studios send out. You get to attend pre-screening promotional events. The building is close to BART at the Montgomery Station. Fabulous lunch places around the area.

Cons – Leadership is very hierarchy. The culture and atmosphere is sometimes unsettling. They do not pay for parking or have a parking garage. They do not encourage all the employees to meet one another, or introduce themselves.

Advice to Senior Management – Create a more side-by-side leadership, so that interns and recently hired coordinators have room to grow and learn. Make everyone feel like they are a part of the team in a more suitable and comfortable environment, instead of singling out employees and make them feel unworthy.

I worked at Terry Hines and Associates

Pros – Flexible and fun work environment, great position to gain entry level experience, the film industry is fast paced and exciting.

Cons – The interns were responsible for updating and expanding a database which was tedious but necessary for the company to operate. It took months to receive pay checks but I did eventually receive full payment
