Pros

Great benefits, wfh, being #1 in most markets, great coworkers and teams to work with

Cons

It used to be great, then they implemented all this change which doesn't help our jobs it makes them worse and takes too long to do one simple thing. The worst management I've ever worked with. People get promoted for being mediocre or bad at their last jobs. Can't speak for other depts but don't look into working in VIP their management is chaos with managers always out on vacation and incompetent middle managers who implement additional responsibilities and more work on your plate while they take off for months. You'll get no support from them all they care about is making money and as long as the money rolls in they don't care what you're going through at work each day. No room for growth and no roles to move up into with no plans of them creating anytime soon, pay stays the same despite inflation and have competitors paying way more for the same roles

Pros

There are very few positives left that meaningfully outweigh the challenges and current state of the company

Cons

This company feels like a sinking ship. Leadership seems more focused on building personal AI apps and side projects than actually leading their teams or addressing the problems employees face every day. There's little accountability or direction from the top, and the people doing the actual work are left to pick up the pieces. Instead of investing time in supporting employees and improving operations, leadership seems more interested in chasing the next AI trend while the organization continues to decline. Promotions often feel based on favoritism instead of performance, and employee recognition comes across as a retention tactic rather than genuine appreciation. It also sometimes feels like certain employees receive better opportunities and treatment because of who they are connected to or even their last name, rather than the quality of their work. Whether intentional or not, it creates the perception that personal connections matter more than merit, which has hurt morale and trust across the company. Executive leadership also seems completely disconnected from the business. At times, it feels like they spend more time on vacation than supporting their teams, while being largely absent from their responsibilities. The lack of accountability at the top has become impossible to ignore. It's no surprise that so many employees, including members of senior leadership, continue to leave. The majority of the people still here have simply given up and are going through the motions because nothing ever improves. Employees are overworked, underpaid, exhausted, and expected to keep doing more with less while leadership acts like everything is fine. Until leadership starts focusing on people instead of appearances, I do not see this company heading in the right direction.

Thank you for your review. We’re disappointed to hear that your experience at BetMGM has left you feeling discouraged about the direction of the business. We have noted your perspectives around favoritism, opportunities for advancement, and leadership. While learning and development, including the enablement of AI, plays an important role in how we evolve as individuals and as a business, we never intend for it to come at the expense of the employee experience. We encourage you to reach out to your People Business Partner and to continue the conversation so that we can better understand and address your concerns.
