Pros

Depending on your team, there are some wonderful people that you get to work with everyday (along with a few bad apples). Big clients, great vacation/sick days, company still holds a lot of clout in the industry. Social gatherings and cultural elements are there and have gotten less frequent.

Cons

As previously mentioned in a few of the reviews, if you're not one of the "chosen few" forget it. The same handful of people are in brainstorms and anything that has to do with big picture/strategy. Because of this, they are constantly the ones that are on top of mind for promotions and raises. Side note: if you're a bully, you'll get praised. Speaking of raises and promotions, this only happens once a year. If you have a weak leader/don't have a leader to fight for you, good luck moving up the ladder. You are truly a number at this agency. The monthly "inspirational emails" from the CEO are extremely disconnected from reality and further prove that there is no awareness that the company is made of PEOPLE and not just entering time and billing clients. Some groups can be extremely cliquey and have mean girl tendencies. Certain clients hold too much power and the agency falls in line.

Pros

People are smart, friendly and some of the best in the business. Really cool and interesting clients and projects bring invaluable opportunities to learn and gain industry experience.

Cons

Omnicom sucks. Pay isn't great at lower levels and raises and promotions aren't even something we can ask for bc it's all decided by them. Our culture has taken a hit as a result and we're struggling with retention and hiring.
