FINN Partners

Finn Partners is a large company worldwide.  This post only reflects my opinions on the Detroit office.  The office is managed by a leadership team out of Chicago.  They treat the Detroit staff with little respect.  Constant micromanaging has caused the office to have extremely high turnover rates.  They don't permit the Detroit leadership to make decisions without their approval.  
The Detroit team is a hard-working, talented group.  The culture in the office, when the Chicago team is not around, is friendly and relaxed. It's been difficult to build close friendships because of the high turnover.  It could be a great place to work -- if they could break off from Chicago.
Their internship or PIT program is a good place to get entry-level experience.  
Note that parking is not covered.  This can cost $10-15 per day - more during large conventions at TCF Center.

My excitement upon joining the Finn team quickly dissipated as I realized the region I worked in did not live up to the company mission. There was little to no work/life balance, extreme micromanagement by leadership, employees are routinely berated or demeaned, you're expected to work while on vacation...I could go on. Definitely do your homework before accepting a role with Finn - most people in our office leave within a year or two after coming on board.

As other reviewers mentioned, your day-to-day coworkers are fantastic, hard-working and collaborative people that inspire better work. Unfortunately, there's no appreciation from leadership and there's a constant loss of good talent.

Finn Partners is a good place for those just starting out in the PR industry or those well-established into their careers but not for mid-level employees. Employees are frequently over-worked and over-allocated on client accounts, leading to an exhausted staff. Finn Partners tries to promote a culture of work/life balance but senior leadership fails at enforcing that mentality among the team. Those who work hard and take on extra work are rarely recognized and appreciated, but almost punished because they are continuously relied on to handle majority of the work. 

The people are the most enjoyable part of the job. Those you get to work with on a day-to-day basis are hard-working, inspiring, and trustworthy people - just wish they were appreciated more.

FINN is one of those places where you learn more than you ever do at other jobs, out of necessity rather than will. It is a very fast-paced environment where “working up” (ensuring you do the work of your overtaxed supervisors) is rewarded. Individuals who stay at this company stay due to stamina, not due to interesting clients, campaigns or company growth. It is an environment I would wish on none of my fellow peers and if you’re reading this, I would advise caution unless you’re the type of person who wants work to be their entire life as we ll as having a high tolerance for mental stress.

Finn Partners is a great place to get your bearings in the PR industry. The industry is fast-paced and quite demanding. The quality of clients that Finn Partners works with helps get you acclimated to several different levels of businesses and expectations of PR, whether the client is a small start-up or an international corporation. You can really get a sense of the PR industry in working at Finn Partners.

A typical day involves heavy media relations. 

I've learned a lot about all aspects of the PR industry. 

There is little micro-managing, so management rarely has a grasp on specific campaigns. 

Co-workers within division at my level are great. 

Most difficult part of the job is not learning anymore. 

The best part of the job is that we get a lot of time off, although we aren't encouraged to use it all.

Management is horrible. The Finn family are wonderful people, but they don’t know what goes on with management and how departments are treated. Even the HR department doesn’t do anything. It just goes to show there IS a way around management treating people badly. I have a manager who’s been in HR numerous times and nothing gets done about him. He make up accusations, because he doesn’t want to give a raise.

Finn Partners is a dynamic, growing agency full of very bright communications and public relations professionals. It's a great place to learn, and the client roaster is robust. Unfortunately, work-life balance is complicated, and management expects a lot from junior employees. They tend to hire people from outside the company instead of promoting from within.

I am happy to share my experience working with Finn partners. All employees, managers, directors and partners very nice. They do care about professional as well as personal growth of the employees.
This is the reason the company got so many award. I am once again thankful to my Controller, Senior Accountant and Director as well as Partners who gave me an opportunity to work.
Thank you,
Bhavin

I enjoyed working there despite it being a contractual position. Communication could be improved between developers and management as well as clients and management. More clearly defined roles and documentation would also help.
