- Current Employee, more than 10 years★★★★★
Pros

Traditional capabilities and slow to modernize client offerings, strength lies in tech clients but not as strong in other industries
- Current Employee, less than 1 year★★★★★
Pros
There is lots of talk about making sure you're taking PTO, taking care of your mental health, and I appreciate the $150 wellness credit.
Cons
Most things seem like just talk. Sure, take your PTO...but if you ask off for a day that a coworker is also off, your boss will probably say no. Or if you ask off and then there happens to be a big client meeting scheduled, sorry, no vacation for you. Or sure, use PTO, but you'll have to cram all of your work into less time, you can't just do some after. I've never felt more of a dichotomy between what a company says and what they actually practice. If you aren't based in Bellvue, where the headquarters are, forget about people trying to accommodate or include you. I know PR is a stressful job and sometimes it can be long hours, but I moved to WE specifically because I was told that it doesn't happen as much here and that mental health was valued. Quite frankly, I feel gaslit. I don't think I'll last much longer here.

Pros
People. Not all, but most. Leaders. Not all, but most.
Cons
Downsides ... People. Leadership. They say everyone is supported. That's not true. Not true one bit. I see people disappearing without it being communicated ALL. THE. TIME. And we're a COMMUNICATIONS AGENCY. Where's the transparency?

Continue reading - Current Employee★★★★★
Pros
Supportive, collaborative work environment; flexible work options; committed to improving D&I
Cons
Pay is a bit low
- Former Employee, more than 1 year★★★★★
Pros
Good internship program, learned a lot.
Cons
Poor compensation. Impossible to survive and pay bills with today’s cost of living. Don’t even bother if you get sick often. You will never get to go on vacation. Salaries are criminally low and when I asked for a raise I was not only shot down but provided with a list of things I do badly at my job (immediately after my extremely positive annual review)

Pros
Great client names to add to the resume
Cons
Heavy volume of work and disconnected/disorganized leadership
