Pros

A little more than a month ago we've had some leadership changes at H5 which have drastically improved the work environment - infusing joy and positive energy back into the office. Our team really appreciates our core values and the culture that Kathleen worked hard to create when she founded this agency 17 years ago. Our momentum couldn't be stronger right now (we've won several new projects and clients over the past month!) and people are once again happy to be coming into the office every day. Having been at other PR agencies, I can honestly say that Agency H5 is a special place and unlike any PR firm - rooted in hard work, creativity and kindness - it's hands down the best in the city.

Cons

Not many cons here at Agency H5. Being a mid-size firm , sometimes we can't always compete with the big, global firms on added benefits, but we have our own perks that make up for it with extra summer days, early Friday dismissal, fully stocked candy bar and other fun offerings.

Pros

I've worked at my fair share of agencies - and Agency H5 was unlike the rest. There is zero toxicity, and endless support from colleagues and senior management. The experience you will gain here will put you ahead in the industry - and you'll get to work with a very wide array of clients. On the personal side, the CEO GETS it. She knows that you have a life outside of work, and understands the importance of mental health.

Cons

It will be a very hard place to leave!

Pros

Nice office location, other interns were nice

Cons

From day one, it was clear that this workplace thrives on cliques. Most employees formed tight-knit groups that were unwelcoming to outsiders, particularly interns. Gossip was constant. People regularly spoke poorly about coworkers and clients. Unfortunately, management not only ignored the toxicity but also enabled it. Despite being made aware of the unprofessional behavior, leadership chose to look the other way. They appeared far more interested in maintaining the status quo than in supporting a healthy or respectful work environment. As for the internship itself, it was incredibly disappointing. We were promised hands-on experience and mentorship, but the reality was far from it. Our days were mostly filled with menial tasks, including washing dishes, picking up lunches, and running errands for the full-time employees. There was no learning or guidance, and no effort was made to integrate us into the company's actual work. This internship wasn't a stepping stone into the industry. It was a lesson in how not to run a business or treat people. If you're looking for a place to grow, be mentored, or be treated with basic respect, this is not it.
