I’m considering accepting a position at Omnicom Production. Does anyone have any insights on what it’s like over there (Work/life balance, holidays, PTO, flexibility, etc?)

I have a friend in a senior production role there and they’re miserable. Terrible communication between management and staff, overloaded with projects and not enough support, new and inexperienced employees are being thrown into situations they aren’t ready to handle. The pay and PTO is okay but they personally are unhappy with the work life balance. I have no idea if that’s the case for everyone. My friend was at a specific agency when they got transferred into the Omnicom Productions pool. Good luck! I hope it works out if you head there.

So I’ve been with a court for a while and honestly the pay sucks compared to what paralegals should be making… the benefits are great though and they match my retirement 100% now that I’m vested at 3 years.I have 4 kids and 1 is getting ready for college. I feel like the benefits are great but I’d rather make more now. I am a previous LEO for 4 years who switched to paralegal so I have my leo retirement. Paralegals here make $28 with no benefits what is a good compromise

Thanks.

It’s hard to be motivated when rounds of layoffs happen and you see all your friends leave. But one thing that’s gotten me through all of this is working out. And when I say workout I mean the most pathetic, sad, barely completed beginner-level cardio dance routines. I’ve somehow forced myself to move while on lockdown and it’s somehow forced me to feel better. Whatever you’re doing, wherever you are: get up and move even if you don’t finish or end up going on a walk. Pls take care of yourself❤️
