Never got to an interview with a creative. Ridiculous

I was brought in to help and they refused any. No respect for free time, no respect for each other or how they speak to people, frankly. Tried to help change process and work/life balance and my manager terminated my FL contract even as other members of leadership were being supportive of my proposals — not one person from that leadership team has reached out. Even the president of the company knew my name.

They’re drowning so bad they forgot how to swim.

I talked to 5 different recruiters there who all had no idea that the others were talking to me. Some of them suddenly dropped off the face of the earth (not ghosted, like their emails bounced back) and then the whole process would start again.

It's a complete shit-show, but there's opportunity in that kind of madness.

Speaking as a current Atlanta Publicis worker, avoid them at all costs. They require 3x/week in person and if you don’t follow their rules, they will hold it against you when it comes time for raises or promotions. HR keeps tracks of your exact office attendance and they’ll know if you’re not in the office as required and will ask you about your reasoning. In terms of clients/work, expect no work life balance whatsoever and if your account is super under-staffed (like mine), get ready for long (think 9AM - 9PM no overtime) days at the office and no support from your team. They are also extremely fast paced and expect you to keep up even if you’re a new hire. Here’s the cherry on top of the sundae: you’ll be extremely overworked but your paycheck won’t reflect it at all. Your salary will be low balled and raises/promotions are extremely rare. They’re way too messy and expect you to work 24/7. Also, they get upset if you don’t respond to emails (especially external ones) right away.
