I can only speak for the Omaha, NE office. All types of insurance at costs less than other Omaha corps. 401(k), profit sharing plan, FSA. 11 days PTO first year of employment. That doesn't include the annual 10 company holidays and 4 summer Fridays. There are also half-day holidays and early release Fridays. Lots of fun workday events throughout the year (e.g., pancake breakfast, health fair, Halloween floor-decorating contest, Christmas party). Casual dress every day including jeans and sneakers, walking shorts and sandals. Kitchen and small break area on every floor. Generous, grateful managers who throw mini-parties (including beer and bottled drinks) and occasional lunches. Company is growing fast but location not sustainable. Employee of the month with bonus and underground parking. Nice facility. 

The negatives are uncompetitive pay. No OT. No cafeteria. No real lunchroom (fits about a dozen people). No fast food within walking distance. Not enough parking. Overcrowding. Limited promotion opportunities due to over abundance of entry-level positions.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Worst company I have worked for. My first day the manager that hired me and who was going to train me quit. I watched videos for three weeks on how to work in EXCEL, and when I finally got training they had me start with the the new supervisor and she let me know that I was trained wrong and that she would have to re-train me. They ended up letting me go because it was taking to long to train me. They are very unorganized, would not recommend them to anyone.  

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Everything, you only get paid twice a month and the pay is very low.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
I worked from home, that was nice but everything is done on Teams and email. It can get very confusing when someone is trying to explain something. For the most part people were nice. When I went to the office site to pick up my equipment I waiting outside for 30 minutes until I could finally get in touch with someone to let me in, they had no clue that I was coming to pick anything up or that I even worked there. So that took another 2 hours that I didn't get paid for.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Log in to the VPN, wait a couple minutes till I was contacted and then I would "Shadow" someone while they worked on their accounts.

I would come in to work at 6:30 a.m and sign into my gun with my gun I would scan the boxes that come down the line. The printer would print out a sticker and piece of paper that let me know how many books and titles should be in each box and where they were getting shipped to. Once I made sure everything was correct I would send the boxes down the line and co-workers would pack them with air filled bubbles. Sometimes if my co-workers needed help I would do my job and help them out also so that we would not get bagged up which would cause us to send out packages late. I learned how to use a scan gun to ship things off and sometimes move things from one pallet to another. My co-workers were every fun and helpful. When I first started working they were so helpful about teaching me how to do certain things. The hardest part on the job was on Wednesdays we had to move at the fastest pace to ship out thousands of books to big companies like Amazon, Barnes and Noble and other companies. But most of all I enjoyed doing my work and my co-workers.

Managed the day to day IT operations operations in the West Coast FCB offices. First and foremost a typical day involved ensuring that all critical system were always 100% functional, followed by daily IT governance duties such as employee network access, terminations, SOX compliance and Internal Audit controls. 

Met with the IT team daily to provide direction for the high profile issues, prioritized projects and disseminated directives passed down via corporate.

There were a few hurdles to jump in the way of managing up to the business side of the agency, but at the end of the day each encounter was truly a learning lesson. Understanding the urgency of the business and approaching each task with the business requirements in mind enabled me to make sound financial decisions which in turn provided cutting edge technology for the agency

IPG had acquired JPSA and so the bulk of what I did was sustain the product on our Job Shop Floor and in our International customer base.   Most prominent in our processes were Lift Off and Micro-machining.   We utilized all manner of motion as the workstations we provided were frequently unique.  Robots, Motion, Lasers (mostly excimer), and application requirements.   Materials were also an interesting element in our Job Shop.   The Team at IPG was the remainders of JPSA and they were great to work with.  The attitude from most was, when complete with our job requirements, to pitch in where we could and be rewarded with a learning experience and meet a shipping obligation.  The excimer product common to our applications was large/heavy and difficult to work within.   The reward to figuring a solution was appreciation from any group being supported.

Not a place I would recommend...especially if applying for a contract position. Individual treated like a machine and routine is accepted and innovation ruled out. Manager micro-manages and gives tasks that are of no use or value in any other company in future. No advancement and one will be doing the same thing over and over again for years with no light at the end of the tunnel unless one leaves. Quite a dull environment but colleagues are good and easy going..unless the manager walks by. Quite a bit of nepotism and husband and wife teams manage it based on personal opinions lacking objectivity for real professionalism. Brown-nosing is the only way for some advancement if at all....

IPG is worldwide and It is stable in most major cities. The Dallas Weber Shandwick lacks organization, leadership and stability. A lot of major clients left the Dallas location completely like American Airlines. Some other major clients transferred their accounts to Chicago, New York.. to cities that actually get their work done and are efficient in time and money. Due to clients withdrawing their accounts;  the Dallas location lost ALOT of money and thats where the cuts began. Fortunately I left before the cut. Unfortunately, alot of gifted talents who dedicated their careers for years were let go. They even eliminated a whole department and moved to a smaller office. 

I would not recommend anyone to work in the Dallas location; however, Chicago, NY, DC and other major cities I hear great things.

What is the best part of working at the company?
There are endless opportunities for advancement. The benefits are unbelievable. You get a lot of holidays off and they even add some days once in a while. We work Monday & Friday at home and the rest in the office. Everyone is very friendly and helpful when you're first starting out. We even have parties in the office. Great place to work!

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
I have little stress in my particular position. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
This company thrives on diversity and everyone is treated equally.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
A typical day at the office is very productive in a  comfortable setting.

The pros: the benefits

The cons: management, team atmosphere, stress level

My first team felt like family. Unfortunately I did have to transfer jobs and my second team was awful and the management on that team was just as awful. I ultimately chose to quit because I realized I could be treated better elsewhere. This team acted like they hated each other and their jobs every day and consistently made me feel judged, inadequate, etc. I would never return to that team. No benefits were worth my happiness. I say this was a difficult choice because the benefits were like nothing I'd ever had before, I was still close to my old team and saw them every day, and I met my best friend there. Unfortunately, these facts were not enough to keep me there.
