Formula=Work Hard, Play Hard - Avis employé Account Coordinator Formula PR

- Learned something new everyday and constantly challenged - Continually offered new opportunities to grow - Great opportunity to work with smart, motivated and passionate people - Hard work was always recognized and rewarded - Not only established great professional relationships, but many developed into lifetime friendships - The company and management really care about the staff as the agency was always organizing culture activities, offering incentives and really making sure the staff was rewarded for all the hard work - I felt like I had a voice and management listened to what I had to say...and even more importantly, acted upon it - Loved the youth and vibrancy of the agency

- Expectations are high at all levels which was difficult at first coming into the agency at a young age, however it forced me to really push myself and realize my capabilities - Long hours at time, but worth it in the long run as I learned so much and was offered more opportunities the more I pushed myself - Expectations to get up to speed quickly

At this firm, you learn something new every single day and your senior mentors want to make sure that you're constantly being challenged and always growing. There's no doubt that you work hard--that's agency life and PR life--but the long, hard hours make you a well-trained PR professional who understands PR inside and out. Formula provides employees with the opportunity to have face-to-face time with clients and often perform work that's above their level. These constant challenges create a strong learning environment and give employees the opportunity to move up the ladder and grow at their own pace--which is usually fast for the hungriest PR professionals. The dress code is professional and not anti-feminist as stated below; the firm wants you to dress and act professionally and be prepared for an on-the-spot meeting with a client if the opportunity presents itself. There are fun social events such as happy hours and backyard BBQs which are optional but recommended it you want to get acquainted with your colleagues and build relationships in the workplace. I always attended the social events and now my once employees are some of my best friends. All in all, I wouldn't trade my 2+ years for anything and recommend Formula to any young professional who wants to enter the professional world, learn a ton, and be a competitive candidate in the communications world.

There is high turnover, but again, this is agency life and PR life; it's not for everyone, but rather for hungry, energetic and passionate professionals.
