"Be prepared for hard works and long hours of work"

"Great growth opportunity, mentorship, and the opportunity to gain experience working on international brands with the best in the industry. "

"Maternity leave is very poor and HR does a terrible job at executing the logistics. Flex time is amazing however compensation is not"

"Hours can be long depending on your client team and the management structure of that team. "

"O&M has a great culture centered around people, who are incredibly smart!"

"Always keep sight of the bigger business picture. This is the only way to align yourself with the right people and accounts, and maintain your value and visibility."

"Agency environments can be tough. Don't be afraid to stand up for yourself. "

"OPR is predominantly female, at least in the New York office. Women are well represented in the senior leadership, both the Managing Director and CCO are impressive (female) individuals."

"The maternity leave policy, at the time I took it, was based on years of service. I got 2 weeks for every year I had been employed. My three year anniversary fell two days after my due date. HR was generous to give me those extra two weeks of maternity leave, even though I missed my actual anniversary. But, the policy itself is not generous at all. One of my male counterparts actually got more paid leave when his wife had a baby than I did, because he qualified for disability / family medical leave, and I did not."

"There are women working here, but there are many challenges to advancement. Upper management, especially in creative, is almost entirely male. There is definitely a boys' club vibe here, but the good news is, they are trying to address it. The President is working to implement initiatives to improve the situation. It's a slow process, but it's definitely on the radar, which is nice."

"There are a lot of woman working here. I suspect because they pay woman 20% less, on average, than our male counterpart and they work twice as hard. Seems like that would work for other woman in the agency, but its a tightly knit group and moving into that circle is very difficult. The biggest problem is lack of advancement in several departments. Raises dont happen, even cost of living raises dont happen. You might get a raise every 4-5 years, and then its less than 10%. The company does offer flex time, 8-4, 10-6, or a WFH home day each week, not both, and not to all employees."
