Hey everyone! Can anyone share thoughts/insights about MediaCom NYC (perhaps more candid/recent than on Glassdoor)? Specifically the Bose account for media planning (supervisor/manager role) if anyone here has opinions on it (also Coca Cola, Adidas, Lacoste, Duracell, Walgreens or Indeed too)? But in general, thoughts on "team vibes" (culture but hybrid i guess), salary progression, PTO (only 10-15 days?), any green OR red flags that might not be well known? TIA!!

Not at Mediacom but under same group company (GroupM) so can speak to the stuff we share like PTO and benefits.

Yeah PTO is pretty laughable when starting out. 10 to start, then 15 at 3 year mark (could also depend what level you are coming in at). WFH benefits is basically nothing. We have a $150 per YEAR wellness stipend, normally to be used for fitness and gym but during pandemic they also allow for home office equipment.

Good luck getting a working laptop when starting, IT is one of our major weaknesses IMO. All controlled by WPP IT. So stuff like SSO to all the dashboards can be a real pain in the butt. And constant software updates.

One thing you should be aware of is that in 2023 Q1 they are completing the merger of Mediacom and Essence. Announced recently and they are still fleshing out what that’ll mean for the on the grounds people.

Hmm yeah I was told in the interview that PTO was 10 but "could bump it to 15" and I'm sitting here with unlimited like... lol

Sadly, I don’t know anyone who could help in this regard. Hope you find the answers you’re looking for.
