Thinking of working at the Rosen Group? HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAA - Avis employé Account Executive The Rosen Group

Where do I start? - ZERO company culture, ZERO team building activities, ZERO training and direction - This is NOT a PR agency, this is an email spamming company - The boss/owner operates behind a cloud of ego and disillusion living everyday as if it was 1983 - if I had a dollar for every time the boss said something cringeworthy I wouldn't even be writing this review because I'd be on a yacht somewhere not giving af - be prepared for insults as the boss has no filter and lacks proper management skills - I was once called to her desk to discuss my use of acronyms in a client pitch - she berated me for about five minutes - only to use an acronym in her provided feedback - the client was a television provider, she demanded that all acronyms be spelled out and went on to use TV - which is an ACRONYM for television therefore completely negating everything she was saying about using acronyms - My training on the first day was to read press releases found in a network server with over 150 folders and no direction as to which clients I was going to be working on - One of the VP's literally online shops all day just sending snarky emails full of demands to the junior staff and then critiques all work by questioning your intellect - There is LITERALLY no time to conduct proper research, brainstorm with clients, draft unique and custom pitches because EACH AE and SAE is assigned 5-8 clients and the management wants you to service them by providing EXACTLY what is asked and NOTHING above and beyond that - The management rules based on favorites - there are multiple employees who arrive late, leave early, conduct personal matters from the office and have free reign to schedule weeks worth of travel whenever - these employees can do no wrong and never seem to contribute in anyway just providing their clients the very basics of PR oversight and for the most part share the same religion as the owner - There is no correct way to become a favorite - it all depends on the management - so think again if you thought your hard work, eagerness to create results and your energy in building team moral would net you any accolades - The ABSOLUTE WORST PART is the pay - this agency has a high turn over rate - why? because the upper management has designed the breakdown to allow them to do whatever they want while all client campaigns are run by junior staff, the junior staff make PENNIES compared to what the clients are paying - once staff realize they are providing ALL of the work necessary to retain clients they inquire about a raise - usually to be told no, maybe soon and then ultimately they are iced out until they find a new job or quit - that is unless you're a favorite - in which case, some favorites had 5K pay increases every 6 months - the same people who come in when they please, leave when they feel like it and the same people who provide nothing more than BASIC PR oversight to clients - The hiring process favors people from D.C. - why? because that's where the boss used to live and attend school - completely negligent of past pr experience and education - the amount of people who work at the Rosen Group with NO formal PR education, internships or past experience is high and it works because all you need to do to succeed there is NOT TALK, DO NOT COME UP WITH IDEAS, WHEN THERE IS OUTREACH TO DO - OPEN CISION CREATE A LIST AND BLAST EVERYONE WITH A BASIC RELEASE - the larger the list the larger your chances of someone writing about your story - the amount of writers, producers and journalists who complain about getting mass emails is rampant - many publications and outlets have blocked The Rosen Group domain so they can relieve themselves of the constant rapid fire pitching on topics that have nothing to do with the journalists beat
