Pros

The people are great. Benefits are standard. Flexible work schedule including working remotely.

Cons

Parent company Omnicom does not treat its companies and employees with anything resembling respect. Solely focused on slashing costs at the expense of service.

Pros

Smart people, nice colleagues to learn and grow with. People are invested in each other despite contraints from the agency.

Cons

-Benefits keep getting worse with every year (mergers, acquisitions, holding firm in a bad economy affect all this) -Not much of a defined company culture or competitive advantage here. I fail to see what makes this place better or more special than any other agency.
