Pros

None, anymore. There used to be some, like work life balance and unlimited pto. Not anymore. Things will get worse the longer Omnicom owns Flywheel.

Cons

Terribly uncompetitive pay. Bait and switched me with a different salary after getting through interviews. Random layoffs of entire teams. Management takes no accountability for anything. People leave and have the same things to say during their exit interviews, but still nothing changes. With layoffs and adding accounts, you will be piled on with more and more work but no more pay. Media and retail were recently merged into one job. Again, more work, no increase in pay. If that wasn’t bad enough, their “unlimited pto” was recently removed, which was one of the main reasons of keeping a job that paid less, at Flywheel. Many people who are parents, who have also since left, would agree. Every week during the Flywheel and office meeting, all you ever hear about is “ai” this and that and “get more money and accounts”.

Pros

As in most agencies, the best part are the teammates who are on the trenches with you.

Cons

Steer clear. Go anywhere else. In the 3 years I was at Flywheel/TPN they went through no less than 5 mergers or reclassifications. Few of which ever meaningfully impacted the work, but actively drained the agency culture and morale. 4 rounds of layoffs that I remember. NO raises and only 1 review. And a baffling RTO policy that has little to do with collaboration and everything to do with commercial real estate tax benefits. Omni sucks the life out of these incredible agencies, taking decades of innovation and turning them into mere pawns. The leadership has no real authority and views workers not as people, but numbers. The "clean desk" policy means there's zero personality in the office. Because people are not rotated off old accounts there's not fresh perspective. High stress and there no chill. I've never cried so much at a job. Not used to coworkers being so rude, cold, and snappy. Omnicom is pushing AI and monitoring if you're using it regardless of whether it's necessary or makes sense for your role. There are better agencies out there, go apply there and leave Flywheel to fix their model.
