Thank you for the feedback. A few points are worth clarifying for anyone reading.
BPM-PR Firm has operated for 21 years with a reputation built on a clear standard: publicists who can write, who are present during business hours, and who deliver. Reviews from team members who meet that standard speak for themselves. As real effective PR should.
A few realities of this industry that prospective publicists and clients should understand:
Editorial outlets reject AI-generated copy and treat it as a plagiarism risk, because AI pulls from previously published work. That is an industry-wide rule, not a BPM-PR rule. Every publicist is trained on it. Submissions from a team member that flag repeatedly on AI detection are not a coaching issue, they are a termination issue. If every item written flagged as AI then they can not be submitted to editors and journalists and you were or would have been provided multiple opportunities to fix and correct prior to termination.
Remote work at this firm means available, logged in, and responsive during the standard 9-to-5, present in scheduled meetings, and reachable by senior management on time-sensitive client work. Daily and persistent connectivity problems, extended absences of hours from the desk during the workday, and extreme delayed responses on client deliverables are not compatible with PR or any remote position for that matter. Our clients have deadlines. Editors have deadlines.
The 120-day probationary period exists for a reason. It is the window in which a new hire cycles through the full client workload, learns each account, and demonstrates fit. Presence and writing capability are non-negotiable in that window. Either the standard is met.
We do not micromanage publicists who deliver. We don't have time to, and the work life balance reflected across our reviews is the result. The probationary period is where fit is assessed, and when fit is not there, the firm acts. That is exactly how a well-run agency should operate.
We wish you the best in your PR career.
