Pros

FH New York has some of the nicest people and best clients. I truly enjoy the people I work with. Maybe one SVP I'm not fond of but you can't be friends with everyone. For the most part I enjoy the people. Niceness aside, FH NY cons outweigh the good. See below.

Cons

FH New York Consumer Marketing has the worst staffing module you'll see anywhere. FH lacks structure and there is currently a mass exodus of junior team members where talent is leaving faster than they can be replaced which results in current staffers absorbing the work others were doing on top of their original responsibilities. Senior leadership is aware of the problem but do nothing to find a solution. The account split / distribution makes no sense and it's not uncommon for all accounts to be blowing up at the same time yet the SVPs that run the business have no empathy or understanding of the workload and there's always a demand for more, more, more. They like to talk about the problem and pretend that they will find a solution but actually do nothing about it. All that said, have I learned at FH? Sure, I have but not from my colleagues or leadership but rather from necessity to stay afloat with client demands.

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.
