Leo Burnett Reviews

Cons

very long hours, difficult clients

Cons

Leadership is slow to respond to changes.

Cons

It's a caste system, where recruiters go to specific schools. If you aren't educated or educated at a school that is not recruited, you automatically start at a lower level and have to work extra hard. The issue is that some of the recruits are dumb and lazy, and the recruiters are even worse than that. But, you can have a great career for years in this environment. Some of the people have been there way too long and will never leave, they should be forced into retirement to allow for people who are smarter and more innovative.

Cons

it may be too big for it's own good. publicis is very 'hands on' without possibly having the foresight to be as productive as they'd like to be. we also dont get promotions, raises, staffing or infrastructure support to meet their ever raising standards.

Cons

Nothing so far, it's been the best agency I've been in.

Cons

No development for teams and poor management drive low morale. No opportunity for growth.

Cons

Work life balance? Nope.

It's also such an old and established powerhouse that a lot of the employees are playing the large office political game, and that can be cutthroat.

Cons

Long long work hours are the expectation

Cons

We're leaner than we've ever been before, which means long hours.

Cons

Every account in general run like a sweatshop. Useless old white management they are trying to change but is immovable in the field offices. Rampant drug and alcohol abuse. Alcoholism is extremely common and is codified as part of the corporate culture.

Agency losses are constant and made up for by free work from existing employees until they too quit. If you're new, this is going to be you too.

The agency suffers from an overall rudderless management scheme for years in which sexual predators, alcoholics, professional jerks and the generally useless survive every purge but lower level employees are sacked without reviews.
