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

- Their portfolio of clients you have the opportunity to work on is great for building relationships and resume - Some people you work with truly care and are making efforts to make Flywheel a better place to work - Great place to grind it out if you want experience quickly. They will throw you in the fire from day one.

Cons

I say "used to be great" as in pre-Omnicom. - Leadership is very out of touch with what actually goes on at middle management and lower levels. They used to care about the work culture even with many remote employees. I've been on calls where senior leadership would promote working in the evenings or weekends and only talk about how employees are not "client obsessed" enough. - If you show them you're dependable, they will exploit it and not compensate you appropriately. - There is so much turnover and they bring in former employees from dying agencies that bring in different strategies that are not aligned with Flywheel's best practices (onboarding is nonexistent - you will be put on a client day two). - They got rid of most benefits that motivated people to stay and lowered the pay ranges for their positions. Benefits are on par with standard Omnicom. There's a reason why employees who excel at their jobs have all left/are leaving. Everyone who works there can see it. Turned into another company that tries to duct tape a slowly dying engine.
