Pros
1. Some (keyword: some) hardworking and talented people. 2. A paycheck, but it is so little compared to other similar roles in the industry it is laughable. 3. Forget business school, you can learn how not to run a business while getting paid to work here. 4. Industry connections to find a better job. Anything else is questionable, given the fake smiling faces at all levels desperate to hold on to employees on this sinking ship while simultaneously bad mouthing them behind their backs.
Cons
The entire agency is a con. Save yourself the trouble (and PTSD), but if you're some kind of masochist jump aboard for an endless ride to hades as MMGY Global tries to live up to its "global" name by acquiring ignorant agencies who quickly realize what a terrible decision it was to sell their brand and reputation to this false advertisement. From Kansas City to New York and LA, leaders are stuck in a collegiate mentality and you're basically told if you don't like to drink, don't work there during the interview process. Favoritism is beyond the average corporate environment to the point that they haze and pit employees against each other to prove themselves at every turn like a third rate sorority house. You'll play their game to succeed, but not a single one can be trusted except as it relates to their own personal advancement. And, oh, you'll be put in situations to use your sexuality to advance with management and clients (out of scope, with no added fee, of course - this isn't the Bunny Ranch per se). MMGY claims to be a travel industry leader, yet gives very little opportunities for employees to explore the world/enjoy vacations or even the coveted half-day Fridays due to overwhelming amounts of work from the high turnover rate. Clients are then left clueless as to why reps suddenly disappear/aren't responding when they have gone on to vastly better opportunities without being notified. Upper management is absolutely brain dead making even the simplest of situations embarrassingly complicated. Lacks knowledge on how to run day to day operations and sticks their head in the sand while staff members struggle without any direction, motivation or inspiration before ultimately quitting without another job- better homeless than on staff there.
