Very generous with all. Used to work there

Starcom is used by Publicis the parent company.

Holidays are basically unlimited. Just gotta make sure you communicate with yourself team.

Summer Fridays is dependent on work load but pretty good.

401k is 3%?? I forgot lol.

Hope this helps :)

Healthcare can’t answer as I had my own. Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays pretty standard with most agencies.

Thanksgiving is like 4 days.

Christmas is a few days.

Agency work from anywhere from like mid December to January. I forgot the exact dates 😅

Standard 16 days holidays with 3 extra days gifted between Christmas and NYE each year. This year we also got an additional 5 days off over the summer. On top of that, most agencies at Publicis get unlimited PTO but a good guide is about 4 weeks. They have excellent benefits like mobile phone, most agencies have flex and WFH and good work/life balance (but this will depend on agency and team/account). All Publicis has 401k match up to 4% (if you contribute 5%) and medical is definitely in the better end of most US employees. There are very few places that do better than that, I think and you’ll probably find some sister agencies at Publicis may even be better than Starcom.

How much stock do you put on benefits? I have two offers with stark differences in benefits. Job 1: role I want, but benefit sucks (2 weeks paternity leave, 20% coinsurance). Job 2: role is okay but higher level and great benefits (16 weeks paternity, 0% coinsurance, 5 more days of vacation). Total comp is the same though. I wonder if I should just focus on role but Job 2 is a large company, so I can move around after 2-3 years I’d expect. Thoughts?

Is anyone concerned the push for sexual equality in pay without accordant leveling of parental leave is gonna backfire?

Here’s a hypothetical:

A company has 2 candidates, aged 25-30, equal in every respect save one’s a man the other’s a woman. Maybe the woman is a slightly better candidate overall. They’d have equal comp.

Company considers the woman a riskier bet due to possibility she’ll take maternity leave — and considers the man less risky for his ineligibility to take as much leave. 🤷
