Pros
- Brett Curry was a really great boss for me personally. Learned a lot from him on how to be a better marketer and leader. I think he genuinely cares about people and is a good person. - The co-workers for the most part are really great people, collaborative, and smart. - Flexible work schedule, good benefits, opportunity for increased pay if you are a valuable employee.
Cons
- The culture is what made OMG so great to work at in the past. There was a conscious effort on prioritizing people over profit. In the past two years, this has been less of a priority. It started with layoffs that affected the most important people to the culture, such as the office manager, directors of each department, and when the COO left, the culture no longer felt like a priority. - As a result, employees began to burn out and become dissatisfied with the work, which led to more people quitting. - When employees quit however, due to the focus on profitability, their assignments were mostly just delegated to other employees rather than hiring new people - which led to more stress and work for everyone. - Some employees don't embody what the culture was/should be about. Whether it was berating others for perceived slights or having a negative attitude and energy at work, this also hurt the morale of others. - There didn't seem to be a clear vision for the future. We used to have a team structure of account managers, lead specialists, support specialists, and feed/conversion tracking specialists. Eventually the account management department was dissolved, with lead specialists taking on the work that was previously done by account managers. Then they introduced "Client Success Managers" as a somewhat replacement to account managers, which was also dissolved months later, with their work also being absorbed by specialists.
