Doesn't RecommendNeutral OutlookNo opinion of CEOI worked at Havas Media full-time (Less than a year)
Pros
Weekly happy hour
Free snacks, coffee, cold brew, fruit, cereal
2 Summer Fridays days offCons
Some managers are nice mine wasn't. They would yell and berate everyone on the team for the most minor infractions. I once got yelled at for my co-worker being late to a meeting even though he didn't report to me. They expected long hours for little pay and compensation and don't complain because they won't acknowledge it. They were routinely unfair, mean and had unrealistic expectations for everyone. It was the most toxic place I have ever worked.
Advice to Management
Listen to your employees and give them more freedom to do their job. If they fail to meet their goals then feel free to give advice. If they are reaching their goals then get off their backs.

Doesn't RecommendNeutral OutlookNo opinion of CEOI have been working at Havas Media full-time (More than 3 years)
Pros
- Great location
- Successful lower-level talent acquisition
- most managers are flexible about vacation, days off, etc.Cons
- Promotions based on longevity, not merit
- It seems like mid-level planners are running most of the accounts while VPs are very out of touch with what's going on
- President is surrounded by "yes" men and women that allow him to bully his way around the officeAdvice to Management
Take a long look at everyone from the top down, and see who is actually carrying their own weight and providing value to their clients and the office.
