I worked at GMMB

Pros – - Great people to hang out with outside of the office.
- Omnicom discount
- Lavish company parties and picnics throughout the year
- Comprehensive benefits and medical plan
- So you can help change the world by working on issue and cause-related campaigns

Cons – - Lack of transparency between management and creative (non-management level)
- Very long hours including nights and weekends for creatives and designers
- No respect for the creative/design process
- Recognition given more towards account management and less to creatives and designers
- Only as good as your last best performance or work
- You are considered an outcast if you voice your opinion with the upper management and/or partner group; considered expendable afterwards
- It's there way or you resign/get fired

Advice to Senior Management – - Require all employees to read and be trained in the "7 Habits."
- Improve training for new managers and how to lead and not just go through the hoops of managing.
- Lead by example and always be available to those that require your input on a timely basis.

No, I would not recommend this company to a friend

I have been working at GMMB

Pros – A company with heart and principles. Surrounded by smart, passionate professionals.

Cons – Be prepared to be glued to your blackberry, juggle a thousand things at once and putting in long hours. This job let's you know whether PR is your passion in about 2 months.

Advice to Senior Management – Teach people how to do the tasks you require of them (whether it be billing or using office equipment). Trial by fire isn't always the best route.

I worked at GMMB

Pros – Great teamwork and the ability to work with smart, motivated people.

Cons – If you don't showcase your own talent, no one is going to do it for you.

Advice to Senior Management – Always communicate the realistic opportunities for advancement and although friendship in the workplace is great, sometimes the line gets fuzzy.
