What is Publicis' vacation/time off benefit?

[Anonymous]

I am interviewing for a sales rep position. What is the vacation, sick days, personal days benefit at Publicis? At Christmas time do they give time off like some other pharm companies that doesn't come out of your vacation days? When are you eligible to start using vacation days? If offered the job, would I be able to negotiate additional vacation days? Thank you

Thank you. Doesn't hurt asking for me. And if they say no I've lost nothing. I was at my last two jobs 5+ years and earned 3 weeks vacation. Just hard starting over and getting two. I like to use my vacation days to travel.

YOU ASK FOR 3 WEEKS, THEY'LL DISQUALIFY YOU RIGHT THERE ON THE SPOT. 2 WEEKS,5 PERSONAL DAYS (BUT I WAS TOLD YOU BETTER NOT USE THEM) 2 SICK DAYS(BETTER NOT USE THEM EITHER) AND NO WAY YOU GET THE WEEK BETWEEN CHRISTMAS AND NEW YEARS OFF. PUBLICIS RESPONSE WILL BE YOUR LUCKY TO HAVE A JOB.

Of course, by all means, ask for extra time off. They'll be happy to accomodate your needs. Go ahead and ask for three or four weeks vacation, and be sure to let them know you'll be using every last minute of personal time off you're allowed. They love it when potential employees ask these questions. They like their employees to be tanned and rested so they will return to work ready to drive business, besides that, you deserve it. Don't forget to let them know you got plenty of vacation at your last job, and that anything less than that will make you unhappy and disgruntled. They'll understand. If you have kids, be sure to let them know you'll need to take some time off when they get sick or have school functions. Heck, you'll probably be able to negotiate more time off than the person interviewing you! While you're at it, ask for a higher car allowance, it will show you have great negotiating skills. Why not ask for a higher mileage reimbursement, too? They'll be glad to give it to you if you just ask for it.

If you do these things you're going to be a shoo-in for this job, it's practically yours already! They are going to absolutely love you. Picture yourself on the podium accepting the "Rep of theYear" award because you are sure to win it.

Good luck, fellow new co-worker, and....good selling!

Funny! They won't withdraw offer. But they won't budge on vacation. It stinks. I want to do this so I don't have to travel. I have 5 weeks vacation and 2 personal days now. This will offer me 5 vacation days in 2013, and 5 in 2014, because they prorate the vacation , and 5 days is a joke. Salary is in low 100s, but bonus is low, vacation is aweful and it all ends in 12 months. Next contract could pay in the 50s.
