      Don't expect any freetime or proper training - Negotiator, Digital Partnerships Initiative Employee Review

      Pros

      Unlimited PTO (if you have a good manager) is nice, but if your manager wants, they can veto it at any time. That's pretty much it...

      Cons

      Completely oblivious to people's time outside of work. Expected to work 10+ hours a day without ever putting into consideration your time outside of work. The managers are completely overworked, so training is non-existent. Will load your schedule up full, then schedule 5+ meetings a day that slam you even more. Will have random "company" meetings basically saying "we love you" which take up a chunk of time and make you fall even more behind.

      Pros

      Prior to the Omnicom takeover, employees had monthly wellness days,every conceivable public holiday off plus a full week in August off for employee appreciation and then between Xmas and New years the offices were closed. Salaries were satisfactory. They did try to staff teams accordingly, only to have them taken away.

      Cons

      vacation time and holiday time off is now downsized. Next to no remote employment. Back to office is 3 days and space in the offices is limited. Due to merger layoffs, more work for those who are left, and salaries are not as robust to lure new candidates. No warning on dept downsizing, they all say " I knew nothing"
