Pros

Pros: decent pay, good benefits (when you can use them), opportunities to work remote. Exposure to some big clients.

Cons

- very cliquey - The work life balance is non-existent. Colleagues don’t understand PTO, and everything is always “urgent”. No one exhibits any empathy for situations in personal life. - management does not listen to their reports. Never offers any real assistance. - Opportunities for growth are very limited - Recognition is given to the same people over and over again. - Bandwith is tight and you are constantly overwhelmed with 6-8 clients per person. - The company is completely disorganized, and no one communicates with one another. There are no SOPs and therefore everyone is always just doing their own thing. New people come in and are thrown to the wolves, lost and confused. - There are better agencies that have way better organization and offer better opportunities for growth.

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.
