Pros

Great clients, a great entry into agency life, will change you for the better and teach you exactly what you want in a job.

Cons

Say goodbye to work-life balance. The people at this company play mind games and say and do things to make junior staff members feel as though every issue that rises is their fault. This place is toxic. Junior staff takes all the blame for everything to avoid conflict, knowing that they will be passed over for opportunities if they don't suck it up and deal. Upper Management and Senior Staff make you feel small and replaceable. People will wear you down and make you miserable. There was a designated cry room in the office. Emails non stop late at night, Friday's and weekends. Promotions are heald over your head if you aren't working hard enough. Constant belittling from senior members of the team. The office environment feels like high school, where there are literal cliques of mean girls that gang up a bully junior staff. I've gotten bullied for clothes that I wear and things that eat for lunch ("Yes, I only had time to run to get coffee again! Thanks for pointing out that this job is mentally and physically destroying me!") This place is a nightmare, ONLY work here if you really need agency experience, keep your head down and get out as fast as you possibly can.

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.
