Pros
The only positive aspect of working at Pinckney was working with my fellow colleagues.
Cons
Pinckney is not a place that fosters growth. Leadership is extremely limited, making it very hard to learn from experts and grow professionally. Clients are put before internal employees on a daily basis even when they cross the line of professionalism. The head of the company will never come to his employees defense even when it is clear the client has over stepped which is a huge issue when working on an account team. The lack of ethical behavior is a very big issue at this agency, especially when it comes to a safe place for women to work. Management constantly spoke about females and their appearances and crossed the line far too many times. In addition, there a people in the agency who serve as the face of the agency and are homophobic and would often make comments about their strong dislike of the LGBTQ community which I found unsettling and highly unprofessional. This was especially troubling as they were one of the first people prospective clients and hires would meet. There were multiple office surveys that asked us if we ever felt uncomfortable or unsafe in the workplace and many of us answered yes. Leadership did absolutely nothing and never addressed the problem. Turn over continues to increase and the once very strong portfolio of employees is much smaller as they have fled for better opportunities.
