Pros

Free bagels? Pretty much it.

Cons

Too many to count. Listen, ICR is an IR shop, and their IR people are good for what they do. They should stick to IR. PR is another story. It's a complete mess. The business leads are fantastically inept. The business is run like a mom and pop shop versus a real PR agency. They get business off of their IR clients and then lose it soon after because the clients realize they're in too far over their heads. They can't keep up with the big boys, and it's not a great learning environment for junior staff. It's baptism by fire and it's a churn an burn place. They're a one trick pony (you'll learn that soon enough if you make the mistake of actually going there) and the culture is downright hostile and scary. If you're looking to move your way up in agency life, look elsewhere, this is not a place to learn and succeed.

Pros

Lots of opportunity to shape your role, exciting clients, good bonuses, great team depending on who you work for

Cons

Terrible salary raises and as you move up salary does not reflect your commitment and work, doesn't care if your manager is terrible so long as they bring in new business then dump accounts on the rest of their team
