Has anyone joined Omnicom recently after this merger? I’m seeing they’re hiring for a role I’m potentially interested in (specifically at PHD) but wondering how the current environment is as I’ve read they’re also doing layoffs…

Rolling layoffs, hiring freezes, forced restructuring of every agency in the network, some teams left without leadership for prolonged stretches of time, no raises, no promotions, benefit cuts every year - only worth it if you are desperate for a paycheck and cant find anything else.

Current OMC employee here: it really depends on the position and their offer, but get absolutely everything up front and in writing.

Don’t take their verbal word for anything and don’t count on annual reviews, salary increases or bonuses.

Also understand that the further you’re hired away from Omnicom corporate the less sovereignty the agencies will have for all those decisions.

TL:DR? Take it as job for now, benefit as much as you’re able, but make sure you have a clear escape plan.

Feel free to hit me up via DM if you want to discuss further.

Most people I work with are working on an exit plan in the background. Our agency morale was fine pre-merger and is abysmal since. Feels like we’re all just waiting to see who goes next.

I am in the process of finding administrative assistant interns from our local universities. In an effort to make my job opportunity appealing, I am asking everyone in this bowl about an appropriate job title. Is "Administrative Assistant" outdated or unappealing? I certainly don't want to mislead anyone on the job responsibilities, but I do want to avoid any potential negative stereotypes attached to that job title. Are there alternative titles that you find more appropriate for 2022?

I’m quite frustrated and ready to start new job ASAP. I’ve been at current job for nearly 3 years and anyone who might be potential reference for future jobs (old bosses) has already left the company. I have good relationships here otherwise too.
1.5 week notice will work out with my upcoming travel plans and personal life as well, but concerned about if agencies really put you on “do not rehire” list?

Anyone give less notice and get in trouble?
