Pros

Young entry-level staff are friendly and hardworking. Their talent is wasted at Sharp.

Cons

Agree with earlier reviews about inept management. I will go further to point out that Sharp was founded by white men who came of age in 1980s Manhattan and it shows. Their lifestyle and ethos is still embedded in the company culture 2 decades after Sharp started. Clients are still 'ladies who lunch' set, a dying breed in NYC, which explains why the company's client list grows smaller every year. Palm Beach office over other markets. No significant POC representation in mid and senior level executives...EVER. Zero drive to understand or cater to diverse marketing segments or to think beyond a Park Avenue mindset, which is disappointing given that NYC is one of the cultural hubs of the world. Sharp has failed to evolve with the times and employees do not grow because mindsets and strategies have been stagnant since 2005...

Pros

- Opportunity to work across multiple client accounts. - Supportive manager with regular weekly check-ins. - Collaborative team with consistent communication through Slack. - Fair compensation for an internship. - Encouraged to ask questions and learn. - Gained valuable PR agency experience and developed new professional skills.

Cons

As an intern, it can be difficult to see how individual tasks fit into the broader client strategy because interns primarily attend internal meetings rather than client-facing conversations. More exposure to the client side of the work would provide better context and a stronger learning experience.
