Pros

There are still great, intelligent people here that you can learn from, but they are dwindling as the mass exodus continues.

Cons

Benefits: Omnicom has been slashing benefits left and right since the acquisition, effectively giving all legacy Flywheel employees a paycut. Employee healthcare costs went up 100%, employer HSA contributions got cut by 50%, unlimited PTO revoked, and 401K matching is no longer guaranteed and comes 7-8 months after the end of the year (if it even comes at all). Year-end compensation and performance reviews always get pushed back 4-6 months. Flywheel use to be an exciting and fun company to work for. That's all gone and now all that remains is an unrelenting workload that never ceases no matter how many nights and weekends you work. I wouldn't take a job here unless you're desperate.

Pros

As in most agencies, the best part are the teammates who are on the trenches with you.

Cons

Steer clear. Go anywhere else. In the 3 years I was at Flywheel/TPN they went through no less than 5 mergers or reclassifications. Few of which ever meaningfully impacted the work, but actively drained the agency culture and morale. 4 rounds of layoffs that I remember. NO raises and only 1 review. And a baffling RTO policy that has little to do with collaboration and everything to do with commercial real estate tax benefits. Omni sucks the life out of these incredible agencies, taking decades of innovation and turning them into mere pawns. The leadership has no real authority and views workers not as people, but numbers. The "clean desk" policy means there's zero personality in the office. Because people are not rotated off old accounts there's not fresh perspective. High stress and there no chill. I've never cried so much at a job. Not used to coworkers being so rude, cold, and snappy. Omnicom is pushing AI and monitoring if you're using it regardless of whether it's necessary or makes sense for your role. There are better agencies out there, go apply there and leave Flywheel to fix their model.
