-Generous PTO and holidays off -Decent healthcare plans due to being a part of the larger WPP organization -Connections to be made in other cities due to the other offices and sister companies

Cons

-The worst office politics I've ever encountered -Below industry average compensation and you have to fight to receive any type of raise -They fire about 15-30 people every 6 months because they can't maintain their current accounts -Current leadership has no true recruiting or retention plan -HR department is truly horrible and does not advocate for the employees

Pros

Loved the great people I worked with at VMLY&R Commerce. Some of the brightest in the industry. I was given so much opportunity to lead. I had great clients and will always be grateful for my 2 years here.

Cons

I worked here during the pandemic so I didn’t get a lot of opportunity to get any kind of training or continued learning opportunities.

Pros

WPP (parent co.) does a good job at sharing information and policies. Good benefits and percentage paid is fair. Nice office and location. Good I.T. team.

Cons

Client team leads left saying they are tired of putting out fires in their group. Others said you have to whew everything first before you feed it to their peers. One or two creatives do most of the work. The smart and dedicated client SVP's were either pushed out or VML Commerce lost the client due to C Suite interfering in what they knew nothing about.
