SM& An Amazing Place to Work! - Anonymous employee Solomon McCown & Company Employee Review

I’ve worked at SM& for several years. It’s a great place to grow as a professional. The firm has an excellent reputation because of senior-level attention to clients and high standard of work product. Collegiately, it’s got a strong mix of creative, fun people who all get along with one another. Leadership does its best to give each employee a chance to explore various facets of communications. Culturally, there are a number of perks and events throughout the year that makes it a fun place to work. The office was just renovated and its location on the Greenway in Boston is a big perk. Also, AEs typically get an office

high expectations for all work - which isn't necessarily a negative if you want to grow.

Everyone is incredibly supportive and encouraging. If you have an idea -- no matter your position -- you're encouraged to pursue it. Managers give clear and constructive criticism. For co-op students, you're entrusted with a lot of responsibility. Variety of work and projects means you'll never be bored and quickly develop time management skills. Overall a great work environment -- dog friendly too!

Very high turnover means it can be difficult to forge connections, but not unusual for PR. As a co-op student, I was relatively exempt from this but there seemed to be NO work-life balance for full-time employees.
