Whereas I loved my managers as people, I was also told verbatim that "everyone is replaceable" and the company at large referred to employees as "human capital," neither of which really provide a nurturing work environment.
Employees consider it futile to speak up about poor work conditions.
MMGY acquired Myriad in 2016. Many would say that the merger was disastrous - I think it exposed the major issues already present at Myriad, and then MMGY stood by the wayside and did nothing as the company imploded (~1 person a week has left in 2018). Under the MMGYGlobal umbrella, Myriad is not respected as its own entity completely different than the other agencies. Myriad upper management is put in a crippling position to generate growth that is simply unreasonable given the nature of the clients - everyone suffers.
Unless you're independently wealthy or married to somebody wealthy, this company probably isn't a good fit. Myriad historically hires very smart, young women and doesn't pay them. They could get away with this in post-recession times but need to adjust with the market. Honestly, they should be ashamed to pay people so little. There's a reason women and immigrants work here - and it's not a good one. I didn't realize it was so bad when I started, and I felt culpable furthering this kind of culture at large.
Benefits - Healthcare is horrible under MMGY (everyone who's married is on their partner's insurance); no maternity leave (being a mother is not a disability!); salary nowhere near market value; no comp days or salary adjustments to account for overtime or weekends worked/traveled (which will likely be every weekend - every level of employee is overworked).
Beware of a bait and switch with the interview process. Confirm title, benefits, and job description in writing before accepting position.
They might be fixing things, but there were a lot of promises made without execution - both before and after the merger.
The bottom line: This place is a mess. I hope they figure it out soon because they did have a great product and potentially could again. (However, with MMGY continuing their buying spree, I don't see that happening.)
