Pros

Specializing in travel and hospitality marketing, MMGY Global works with some of the biggest and best brands in the industry. A fast-paced agency, there is never a dull moment and as an organization, MMGY continues to evolve and grow to meet the needs of the industry and its clients. The company is led by some of the brightest channel leaders in the space, from social media marketing to integrated media planning to research and insights. You can't help but to get smarter by being a member of this team. Here are a few more reasons to love MMGY... * A truly awesome company culture. The team is hardworking, committed and sharp, and we all like to have a good time. The Culture Committee (a team comprised of representatives from every team/office in the Agency) plans year-round activities from the Holiday Party, Agency Day, Work Unveiling, Thirsty Thursdays, etc. There is always something to look forward to. * From entry level to the most senior positions, you're able to touch and impact work that you're proud of. The type of work that receives accolades in the industry. MMGY has received Best of Show twice in the last five years at the HSMAI Adrian Awards (basically the Oscars of Travel & Hospitality Marketing). * Hard work, ambition and commitment are rewarded. If you join the organization and add value to your clients and to the growth of the company, you are 100% going to grow into roles with more responsibility. * The company is led by a CEO who takes the time to meet with every single new employee within the first week of their employment. He takes great care in getting to know each team member and is an approachable and hardworking leader, setting a great example for the entire staff.

Cons

The "work hard, play hard" mentality of many agencies rings true at MMGY. We process a large volume of client work, so if you're an applicant coming from another large agency and are used to only servicing one big account, you're likely to be thrown for a loop as we have most teams working on multiple accounts. Most like the diversity of the work, but some prefer to be more focused on one piece of business.

Pros

You learn very quickly how not to treat people and what not to do as a leader. Great place to motivate you to want better for yourself.

Cons

MMGY is private equity owned and from what I’ve seen MMGY checks all the boxes of the standard PE operating playbook, acquire, cut costs, slash pay and benefits, increased workloads, degrading culture, mass layoffs, then sell at profit at the end. PE ownership is generally bad for employees by design. The incentive structure prioritizes investor returns over people and the cycle usually isn’t long enough for them to invest in staff. The CEO’s message on this was made clear in an all company meeting, if you don't like it, leave. This statement is the opposite of leadership, it’s complete indifference to how staff feels or that they might have any concerns. It’s someone who's run out of answers and stopped pretending to care. If you are reading this because your company was just acquired by MMGY, I’d run fast.

Thank you for taking the time to share your perspective. We're sorry to hear that your experience has led you to feel this way. It's clear from your comments that you have concerns about the direction of the company, leadership decisions, and the impact those decisions have on employees. While we recognize that not everyone will agree with every decision that is made, we believe it's important to acknowledge that there are often many factors that influence business decisions, and employees may not always have visibility into the full context behind them. You also referenced remarks made during a company-wide meeting. We understand that messages shared during periods of change can be interpreted in different ways, particularly when viewed through the lens of personal experience. Our intention is always to communicate openly and transparently, even when the topics being discussed are difficult or complex. Regarding your comments about private equity ownership and its impact on the business, MMGY Global has operated under private equity ownership for many years, and throughout that time we have continued to invest in our people, serve our clients, grow our capabilities, and expand our global footprint. While there may be differing opinions about ownership structures and business strategy, our focus remains on building a strong, sustainable organization for our employees, clients, and partners. As a current employee, we encourage you to continue sharing your concerns with your manager, HR representative, or COE leader. Open and constructive dialogue remains one of the most important ways we can better understand employee perspectives and continue moving forward together. Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback.
