Pros

Benefits are good. Really nothing else.

Cons

I'm a huge believer that unlimited PTO is a scam thanks to Flywheel. People here really don't take time off and when they do, they're actually working. My boss was slacking me from his honeymoon. This might seem harsh, but this was the worst place I've ever worked. Expectations are just way too high, and they claim to pay you a fair market rate, but the salary doesn't come near matching the work load of a 12 hour day. Whenever this was brought up in meetings with upper management, they would get really gas-lighty and say "talk to your manager" or "we pay fair market value" or "we're hiring more people to match the work load" but I saw no improvements. These people no ZERO boundaries. I would get messages late into the night every single week day, and sometimes on weekends. No one told me I was expected to be working on Thanksgiving? Found that out right before. My manager left when I did, but he was incredibly unprofessional, mean, would say things about other employees to me that made me uncomfortable, and offered me nothing constructive over my tenure. He almost always canceled our 1 on on 1's and many of our planned trainings never happened. The overall training as a new hire was also really bad. It was very surface level and it was clear everyone running the meetings was overworked and didn't want to be doing it. 100% the most toxic place I've ever worked. Don't work here.

Pros

A lot of nice people in mid level roles who care about each other and the clients.

Cons

The negativity and fear all starts at the top and there is so much yelling at employees by the C level. Intimidation is real and if you aren't part of the "in crowd" you will be pushed out and demeaned in front of a large group in due time. Used to be a good place to work until so many companies merged and everyone lost their way. Sadly, it feels like Flywheel is a great thing of the past which makes all of us dejected.

Omnicom ruined Flywheel

Pros

Good place to start a career and build up your resume

Cons

• Ever since Omnicom took over Flywheel, everything went straight downhill. • Zero growth opportunities. Promotions and reviews get pushed back 6–8 months. • They’ll suddenly dump a pointless 2-day course on you with no warning. • “Unlimited PTO” is a joke — try taking more than 3 weeks and you’ll get chewed out. • Layoffs and cutting contractors turned everything into chaos; nobody even knows how the systems work anymore. • Tech support is useless. If your MacBook breaks, expect to be bounced around from team to team with no help. • Management is a disaster. They don’t care about the people or the work environment. • The good talent already left, and whoever’s left is probably planning their exit.
