Pretty much any of the larger agencies that are part of a holding company offer something. Pretty much all have stipulations though...such as if you don't stick around for XXX months/years after completion, you must pay back XX percentage of the cost. So tread carefully.

75% of each course, up to $7500/year. Gotta be here 6 months to take advantage. If you leave within a year, you’ll have to pay it back, prorated.

Do you mean for past or future education? SapientRazorfish gives you 5K toward education, with some reasonable stipulations. But I wouldn’t choose my agency based on that small amount

MRM//McCann but there's strings attached, employment time etc

Leo does. I think we get 75% reimbursement after 6 mo of employment. But don't quote me on that.

If anyone knows the extent of that reimbursement, or where I can easily find information, that'd be great too! Lots of great places to choose from.

Wunderman, but the reimbursement has to vest for like 2? years of continuing employment for it to stick

Most agencies do (at least in major networks)

BBDO does. So does Havas. Lots of places do, you just generally need to meet certain requirements.

Momentum does. Probably the same as a lot of other places though - it's got to be accredited, directly related to your job, etc.
Unfortunately, those restrictions are limiting and outdated, especially on the creative side.

Do you pay your credit cards in full every month?

I ask because I’ve let my credit spending get a bit lax since moving and adopting a puppy recently, so I haven’t been paying them off in full every month like I used to (though still well above the minimum payment, and keeping utilization at 30% or under). It got me thinking about how many people adhere to this advice.
