Omnicom folks — give it to me raw: benefits-wise, what’s the whole truth? Medical, PTO, so on and so on. Thanks!

Medical, PTO and the like are all standard and pretty good (medical doesn't cover some of the things the best employers cover these days like IVF/egg freezing), although there are variations agency to agency. My biggest gripe about our benefits is Omnicom's 401k, which has a paltry match, restrictive terms and is entirely discretionary; it's the worst I've ever had, including many years ago when I worked at Omnicom and the plan was different.

Freelancing for them was clutch. They have a massive network and will pass your name on to others if you do well. They pay very well and treated me like one of the team. But it was too boring for me and I went back to consumer...

Ugh. But the money was so good.

I did contract work for Patients & Purpose and Entreé Health for a little over a year between the two gigs. Was considering joining Omnicom’s full-time freelance network, (I forget what it’s called, but you basically become a FT employee and rotate between different agencies based on need) but ended up getting another job offer outside of Pharma.

Planning a trip to Rome and Naples with day trips to Tivoli and Pompeii. Is 1 week enough? I feel like reading through 3/4 day Rome and 2 day Naples itineraries, the trip seems rushed. I have unlimited PTO but my SO is limited in time (but luckily he can work extra hrs and then use less PTO). I would say max we could do is 1.5 weeks but adding on 3-5 more days seems almost too much? Thoughts?
