IPG folks: have any of you switched to a different agency within the network? Were you able to "bring" your benefits with you to the new agency? Things like 401(k) matching, vacation days, etc?

Even if you leave the network and return back within 7 years. I came back within three for that reason and it was a good homecoming.

Yes, your tenure follows you within the IPG network.

like

You can only bring your "time" in the network. It counts toward vesting, etc. Different smaller networks within the larger network have different policies so only the time seniority comes with you. For example,. UM has a "week" or allocated time vacation policy. I'm now at MullenLoweGroup and we have unlimited PTO.

like

Yes. I’ve been at 3 IPG agencies and everything follows. If an individual agency has a better policy, like MLG’s unlimited PTO, you get that.

like

Yes. 3 years to be fully vested in your 401k and you are able to do so. Why isn’t there an HR bowl.
