Finally got around to browsing through Fortune’s Best 100 Companies To Work for list. Hmm… no ad agencies? Not a one? I guess those foosball tables don’t make a difference when it comes to competing against law firm Perkins Cole’s paid sabbatical, Station Casinos 100% coverage of employee’s health care premiums or Scripps Health onsite child care.
Nor did an advertising agency make the Top 20 Great Employers For New Grads or the Top Companies For Leaders list. We also got stonewalled out of the America’s Most Admired Companies roster, which actually, makes some sense.
Okay, like really? Not one advertising agency? Not one makes any of these ridiculously blogged to and PR’ lists? At least, you’d think the industry would represent on new grads. A year in the offices of Naked? Totally fun and educational. On the other hand, you might become a hermit from the long hours, but 365 days at Ogilvy will always look good on a resume. Seriously.
