I always hear bad things about all the holding companies. Is there such a thing as an agency under a holding company umbrella that doesn’t totally suck eggs?

Yes. And some places vary from account to account, and CD to CD.

Yeah for sure. IPG has always been fair and good to me. They're a very big holding company, but in my experience they are one of the most ethical and I'd work for any of their agencies again

If you like 401k contribution matching, holding companies are worth considering.

The 401k match is truly the only good thing about working at a holding company at this point.

There are! It truly just depends on your manager and what type of experience you enjoy at work. That’s why there’s such differing opinions on these places. Try to find agencies with policies that value your priorities. Value raises and financial incentives? Stay away from Dentsu / Accenture Song. Value WFH? Stay away from Publicis. The indies and the smaller agencies get a lot of adoration on this app, but depending upon what you need, you might hate it. Just my $0.02.

Perhaps what you heard is circumstantial, unless you know firsthand how the situation was handled it’s not the broader case.
