Doesn't RecommendNegative OutlookNo opinion of CEOI have been working at Hill+Knowlton Strategies full-time for more than 2 years
Pros
Think carefully before accepting a role at H+K. It's an agency in decline and one that is heavily scrutinized within the WPP system due to its poor leadership and difficulty to attract and grow business. This contributes to a toxic culture and a maniacally political environment (particularly at the senior levels) that permeates the entire agency. In short, it's a dumpster fire - but still has yet to hit rock bottom.
Cons
Toxic environment. Political quagmire. Unclear future as an agency.

Pros
amazing co-workers, great learning-curve, awesome clients and benefits. You can go in not knowing much about PR and come out with so much experience and knowledge.
Cons
Upper management, "People leader" as they call it, is completely disorganized and out for his/her self. The lack of communication towards the end was completely unprofessional. After five months of preforming with great review, upper leadership didn't let me know I wouldn't be hired on until two weeks before contract ended. Basically the entire office just sets their day around the mood of the leader, Since there was...

Actually talk to your employees. Do not act like it is a casual communicative environment at first if you will pretend your employees do not exist after a few months.

Pros
Although I've recently just joined H+K in their Houston office, I already feel at home. The people are absolutely fantastic - from my recruiting experience with Angela Anderson - to being brought on full-time to the energy and industrial team - I absolutely love it. The work/life balance is fantastic. The benefits rival even the most competitive corporations I've been with in the past. This was undoubtedly a good move...

There needs to better recruiting ...H+K deserves top talent and superstars for the best client service.
