brutal hours - Account Coordinator Bold PR Employee Review

BOLD is an amazing place to get PR experience, and if you love the beauty category, it's a great career opportunity. It is a fast-paced company, and work with some of the best beauty brands in the business. There can be a learning curve, but the majority of BOLDers never leave because they feel supported and respected. Most team members, who decide PR is their career path, stay at BOLD and grow to become leaders. I've been at the agency 10+ years, grown from manager to SVP, and the majority of BOLD's leadership started as assistants at the agency. Your growth is never stunted at BOLD if you are capable and committed.

Sometimes with big events or launches there can be long hours. End of the month reporting can get tedious.

Free product samples and you work with good brands, so you can use that in the future. The work is easy (just a lot of busy work), but I NEVER felt overwhelmed and I had never worked in PR prior to Bold.

Co-workes are not nice, i think only 6 out of the 25 employees ever talked to me. The owner expects you to work way beyond the 9-6 because a true PR girl should be so 'passionate that she wants to work' AKA every girl was so scared to leave before the boss. To be honest, there are companies out there that actually care about you and Bold PR does NOT! I mean the long hours, ridicule, pettiness, lack of vacation days, micromanagement, and low salary are proof that the owner does not truly care about her employees. Take the job, but please remember that it is only a job!!!!
