Hill+Knowlton Strategies Reviews

Cons

Fast paced, can be hard to catch up sometimes

Cons

Overall, the company can be disorganized

Cons

+below avg pay, +too political, +high turnover

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 no HR within the office there was a huge lack of communication and no one to keep things professional.

Cons

I do not love the We Work office space as there's very little privacy.

Cons

Internal communications could improve

Cons

It not for those who want to coast or who are looking for a nine to five job in a communications field that is constant.

Cons

Agency pay is low (like all agencies), work with teams not in your office sometimes results in communication breakdowns

Cons

-Hours are extremely rigid and incredibly long. You're kept late into the night regularly with no warning at the whim of the President of the office.
-You feel constantly under attack. Stress levels are incredibly high and the office environment is toxic. Management of the office is constantly hunting for reasons to find fault in employees and shows zero trust.
-Hard work is demanded and not appreciated. Employees are constantly told that their efforts are not enough. Major wins may receive a day of a respite from this at most and will be immediately forgotten following even a perceived minor mistake.
-Corporate H+K offers a number of excellent work/life balance benefits but most are completely disregarded. Taking advantage of corporate's generous vacation policy is like pulling teeth and employees are essentially punished with extra work and admonishment upon returning.
-Pretty much everyone who current works or has worked there is unhappy. Morale is low and turnover is high.
-When it comes to the work, aside from traditional media relations, the office is set in the past and miles behind the capabilities of what you would expect from a Hill+Knowlton office. It is very frustrating as an employee to know that your office is not serving its clients well--and sometimes actively deceiving them.
-You will be outright lied to over and over again during your interview process and sold a bill of goods about the office environment and work expectations.

Cons

- Work can be time consuming, but you do get rewards for working hard.
