Is having Christmas through New Years off a common thing at all of the Chicago agencies? I’m from STL and wondering what the culture is up there.

Common, yes. At all Chicago agencies? No. But pretty much all of the major Chicago agencies have it. And many people consider it a perk that might break a deal if they don’t get it off when applying to a new job.

That’s common at most agencies in most major markets.

Some yes some not. Should be all yes.

I have it now but even previous agencies I’ve worked for are generally slow during the holidays. Especially with client outages. Lots of work from home.

I had it working a gig at an in house in Chicago

Most do. We're a small agency and we have it off.
