Flexible working: Only required in the office 2 out of 5 days Fast progression from junior level and good training opportunities Fair pay Friendly team with supportive management Fairly easy work Good if you want exposure to PR industry

Majority of the work involves producing surveys for PR copy and tabloid survey-based news stories. Projects follow repetitive cycles, making the work feel monotonous. The Bristol office is poorly located and in need of renovation. Operates as an arm of the wider PR company (72 Point), meaning research is driven by their priorities rather than independent inquiry- feels like an auxiliary branch rather than an autonomous entity. Not academically stimulating. Projects run on tight and often rushed deadlines due to the fast-paced nature of the PR industry. Lack of transparency in reporting methodology to clients. Limited research methods: 99% of projects are simple quantitative surveys, making the approach quite one-dimensional and boring

Hybrid working, but you get that in most places.

Management provided vague and contradictory instructions and feedback, making it difficult to understand what they are looking for in new staff. Some members of management did not know how to use necessary software and so would overload junior staff with a heavy workload - taking credit when work is done well, and assigning blame when that individual made a mistake due to burn-out or lack of training. Management would snicker and whisper inappropriate comments about other members of staff, which is classified as bullying. Little-to-no duty of care when stress, anxiety or family trauma was mentioned either casually or formally. This is made worse by the monitoring of Teams statuses, staff only being allowed a 30 minute lunch break (which was rarely used) and aggressive/passive aggressive management and colleagues. Promotion freezes for junior staff who had been with the company for nearly 2 years, whist managers received promotion and pay rises. Noticeable difference in how management treated certain members of staff.
