Considering a role at VMLY&R. I am currently at another well-known, non holding company agency. It's remote, I think with a few locations. I'm looking for a change and to expose myself to new clients. I'd never really considered them before, but interested after speaking to a few people. Any insights from current or recent employees out there who know what the place is like?

The Kansas City office is full of forward thinking people doing great things. Unlike the NY office, which has more Y&R heritage.

Nailed it. All us Y&R simpletons are incredibly backwards. I only know how to write prints ads, TV campaigns, and mop up the drool that collects on my floor. Thankfully Kansas City showed up with their forward thinking and stopped me from blowing my nose with sandpaper and drinking gravel for breakfast.

Each office has its own unique culture, vibe and yes, challenges. So kind of hard to gauge without knowing where you’re looking.

I love working in Strategy at VMLY&R (NYC-based). Fantastic CSO. Vibrant, fun, authentic, connected team across the US. Wide range of skill sets, from BX to CX, with strong rigor. Fun and exciting place to work!

The people are great but in my experience it’s very hard to grow within the company. Be prepared to fight for promotions and raises, but don’t expect it. Regardless of your work performance. Granted this is just my personal experience with the company.

Strat recruiter left a bad impression as she was VERY intent on lowering/capping salary based on cost of living in KC despite the title. Would I want to work there for the salary of a senior strategist or even strategist when I’m applying for a director level role? No thanks.

I would like to hit fire between 40-50. Currently 27, 185k total comp (125 for me and 60 for partner). Like my job don’t hate it don’t love it. Does an MBA make sense? I’m guessing it could take me to 170ish with that schools I’m looking at but wondering if the 40-50 retirement range makes an mba not make sense since I’d only have 10-20 years to save vs 12-22.
