Publicis all the way… the are the only ship that is not drowning
Publicis is the only holding company I’ve ever worked for (and I’ve worked for all of them) where I actually feel like I have job security, I get regular raises and promotions, and I enjoy the people I’m working with. They’re also the only one actually winning any business these days (the two points are def correlated). It has downsides like any agency, but compared to other hold cos, there’s no question who’s on top right now and treating their employees the best.
All that being said, agencies as a whole are kind of a dumpster fire, including Publicis, so, you know, there’s that.
Hate to break it to you, but you most certainly do not have job security…
Publicis, but I’m not happy about it
I’m giggling
Never Havas worst agency experience by a mile. A hole manager and they laid people off right before the holidays like it was clockwork. Happy holidays!
I didn’t say it was. It’s the worst place I’ve been at.
Publicis 100% I work for them now and had a mostly great experience (excluding normal annoyances you get anywhere - groupe has a great culture). Worked with or for most all the hold cos of varying sizes over 22 year career freelance and full time except probably WPP
Yep. Have worked for 3 holding companies - Omnicom, IPG, and Publicis. Publicis is by far the best in terms of benefits. I DO hope that Arthur doesn't try to ram RTO and make his employees miserable like the other holding companies are doing though.
Go to Pub. Havas just changed their PTO. It’s an insult.
is that every agency in the network? i’ve heard some still have unlimited.
Depends on the agency.
Your account and functional team are MUCH more important than the holdco. Unfortunately you won’t get a very good idea of this from the interview process.
Publicis - I miss it
I really, really miss Publicis.
Pubs
Either. Although Publicis does a lot of arbitrary, unnecessary layoffs so people never really feel safe here. Havas seems a bit more stable.
