Pros

- Global agency providing opportunities to do great work for a variety of big brands across many industries - Culture that challenges individuals to push themselves and rewards hard work and initiative taking - A company where you will learn a lot from smart colleagues and challenging work - Competitive salary and benefits

Cons

FleishmanHillard is owned by a giant holding company called Omnicom. Despite paying lip service to the contrary, Omnicom's sole motivation is profit. They are not concerned with the culture of their companies or the wellbeing of their employees. Their sole concern is profit margin and they track it minute-to-minute. How does this affect employees day-to-day? Put simply: it smothers creativity, new thinking and innovation and fosters a culture where everyone is watching their back and making sure they bill enough hours. Will you have opportunities to do big, interesting projects at FH? Yes. Will you gain a lot of professional experience? Yes. Just don't expect the kind of culture where they care much about you as an individual and/or for your ideas on how to do things differently.

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.
