Great company culture, great people, but not a whole lot else.

Pros

- The company culture made working at GroupM a lot of fun! - Work from home policy allowed for some flexibility when needed (huge plus). - Lots of great people across the teams I worked with, most are team players. - Very good work/life balance all around!

Cons

- Compensation leaves a lot to be desired. GroupM should be more than a scouting ground for agencies that pay competitive salaries. Such a shame it's a "revolving door" agency. - Getting a good manager is a roll of the dice. Some are great, some not so great. I witnessed a manager (director+ level) gaslight a team multiple times on the topic of compensation. "It could be worse, you could be working at Walmart". Who could imagine morale problems resulting from that line? FWIW I don't think this is representative of the company as a whole, but they still work for GroupM.

Low pay, a lot of work, little development

Pros

In Canada they offer decent health benefits like extended health, dental and vision. They also give a free birthday day off, which isn't discounted from the annual vacation allowance.

Cons

Having moved to GroupM Canada from the same agency family in a different country, I found GroupM Canada to be very behind and really undervaluing their employees. They gave me a much lower pay than that which corresponded to my level of experience. I only took it because I was worried about being unemployed coming from another country. I had to work wild hours without any remuneration for the extra time. Some days I would start at 5am and end at 8pm, some days I'd start at 8am and finish after midnight. They said they would give me time off in lieu but never did. I only stayed for 6 months and ended up finding a job that paid around $30K more. They also made promises of work on different accounts, and variety of learning, experiencing other channels, etc. Never happened. Zero development in the whole time I was there
