Pros
Cool clients, people who are passionate about the work. You can learn a decent amount from being around this work.
Cons
M+R has very high turnover in their junior staff (Associates and Account Executives). Pay is low and much is demanded from junior staff, with very little opportunities for promotion, so it makes sense that people are leaving in droves. As an associate or account executive, if you’re not promoted within 24 months, you’re essentially fired (and at least three people I know during my tenure here have been dismissed because they were not promoted quickly enough). Especially as an associate expect to be pigeonholed into doing menial tasks and not be given increasing responsibilities unless you get every part of your job 100% right. Management is very anti-union and didn’t voluntarily recognize our union when workers first tried to organize, even went to go and hire Trump’s law firm in bargaining (the irony of that was not lost on most staffers).
