The career path at Walker Sands
is designed to provide our employees with numerous
opportunities for promotion and ever-increasing
levels of learning and responsibility.
Promotion is of course accompanied by increasing base
salary and bonus compensation. In addition, all of
our employees hold an ownership positoin in Walker
Sands (subject to vesting) and employees receive additional
ownership as they assume more senior roles within
Walker Sands.
The track for public relations professionals, progressing
from Administrative Assistant all the way to Principal,
is listed below. You can learn more about each of
these PR positions by clicking on the position title.
Of course, a Vice President need not start as an Account
Coordinator and work their way up. We balance promoting
from within with a desire to bring in fresh perspective
from experienced hires who may have particular industry
expertise, functional expertise, or the ability to
attract and retain new clients. In the end, our organization
structure is dictated first and foremost by what is
best for our clients.
Notably, the track is not “up or out”.
If you prefer to stay at a certain level within the
company, we encourage you to do so. For example, an
Administrative Assistant may have no desire at all
to transition to a client service role. Similarly,
a Vice President may determine that he or she is content
to stay in his or her current position and not pursue
the promotional track on to becoming a Principal.
There also is no set progression in terms of the number
of years that it takes to reach certain levels at
Walker Sands. We have some rough guidelines in place,
but we value merit and performance over seniority.
Exceptional client service, phenomenal mentoring of
other employees, a gift for streamlining work processes,
or the demonstrated ability to generate new business
can result in rapid promotion within our organization.
