Public Service Announcement: Having worked for three holding companies, I can say WPP offers the best benefits, by far. Omnicom’s are the definition of stingy. Publicis, middle. Reply for details.

Yes. Is worse. But WPP is as good as Publicis was 5 years ago. Low deductible, highly subsidized insurance, 5% dollar for dollar 401k match plus (last year) 2% profit sharing.

Agree. Omnicom’s are horrible and expensive

Very convenient that someone (from HR??) posts this the day new GTB benefits are announced totally fucking everyone over. Net-net: we won’t give you raises or promotions but guess what you now have to pay more for every plan available.

WPP has insurance for "permalance" contractors... not cheap and has a $6k deductable to boot... I'm surfing without it so far. The only think Trump ever did right was kill penalties for those who go without insurance. What a scam that was.

Havas has the worst I ever saw, but that was 2012ish. I’m sure it is worse everywhere than how you remember it.

Nah. I’ve worked for WPP, Omnicom, IPG and MDC Partners and the differences are minimal overall. IPG so far edges it out a bit even though they don’t cover as much of the monthly cost as I would like.

Ok.

I’ve worked for IPG, Havas, Omnicom and Publicis. Publicis has been the best by far.

Does anyone who has worked for omni gotten 401k matching?

I’ve worked for IPG, WPP and Publicis. I’d put IPG and Publicis equally at the top. WPP was the worst. But, I think your individual agency matters a lot for this discussion.

Guess so! Moral, find out first. It’s part of your compensation.

Wpp at Ogilvy was terrible
