Pros

Gives beginning designers, developers, video editors and others a chance to gain basic experience fresh out of school, but you may have to work for free.

Cons

Owners are greedy and dishonest people. Salespeople have very little knowledge of the products they sell and set impossible deadlines. The product you end up having to push out is usually very low quality, yet the clients still pay top dollar for mediocre work. Very shady things go on, like the owners asking you to cash checks for them under your personal bank account and give them the cash, then try to claim that money as your income. Also don't expect to be paid for your overtime, even as an hourly employee. Extremely unorganized and stressful work environment.

I'm sorry you felt your experience as OMG National was less than par. At OMG National we take overtime very seriously, all hourly employees are required to clock-in and clock-out. All overtime accrued is paid. We have multiple policies and procedures in place that do not allow the types of things you're referencing to happen. Management should have been notified about these occurrences if you were aware of them. We pride ourselves on our ability to operate in a fast-paced environment and juggling multiple tasks. This type of job is not for everyone and some may feel the challenge is not a good fit. We wish you the best in your future plans along with great success.

Pros

- The company culture is good, they have a lot of events you can be apart of. - Majority of the staff are nice and always open to answering questions which is really good when the job itself is a lot.

Cons

- Micromanages to the highest level. While yes we're remote, I understand you want to make sure we are working, at the same time there are so many other things that we as DMSs do to help our clients succeed that is not tracked by any KPIs. It's not fair to be punished for that. - They expect the Digital Marketing Specialists to be sales people as well because their sales team does not do a good job of bringing in good and quality leads. A lot of clients end up canceling after a month, if that! And it's usually not the DMS's fault, usually because of my next point. - The work the fulfillment team does is so bare minimum (not to the teams fault more so the processes the company allows them to do, which is little btw), the recommendations they are able to give us does not help the client’s campaign when it starts to fall. While yes we as the specialist need to do the work and help come up with good strategies, we're not the ones specifically working on the product. It just feels like we're the messenger and the client is wasting their money, so I get why they cancel.

Pros

Grateful for a company that taught me what not to put up with. — Fast growth = short employment (for most) 😟 "The flame that burns twice as bright burns half as long." – Lao Tzu 🕯️

Cons

I don't have much else to add outside my notes to the management here (below), except to echo the complaints of everyone else here: - bait and switch - revolving door - terrible pay - false promises - fear/punishment-based incentives - no room for professional growth It seems that some people (and companies) don't change. There should be laws against running companies the OMG runs theirs. It's the corporate equivalent to emotional abuse. I would advise anyone I know to work retail or fast food—mad respect to fast-food workers btw, been there—before working at OMG. Run from this place. I worked for OMG for several years. One day, they asked me if I would be willing to relocate to California to help them open a new branch (uproot my life and go). I considered it but respectfully declined. Two weeks later, I was laid off without any explanation except that "my heart wasn't in it." I'd have to agree— it's impossible to put your heart into a company like this, but you know what I did put in? Sweat, tears, late nights, and my health— all sacrificed for a company that never paid back. Oh, and $0 severance. Called in, laid off, and never looked back.

Normally, we try to to be constructive with the feedback given to us; however, given the fradulent nature (or confused-- maybe you mean another company) of this review, it makes it very difficult to tangibly respond. We have been remote for several years now, with employees in 13 states (California included), so we wouldn't need anyone to move to California considering the decentralized nature of the company. Adidtionally, there is very little credible fact in this review outside of a little bit of slander, and some perceived business strategy insight-- but it really seems like you never really worked with us. That said, I can assure you, on behalf of leadership, anyone we trust enough to ask them to "move somewhere" for us, would not be fired a week later. Best of luck to you Mr. Anonymous Slanderer, perhaps if you get over your anger, you should re-apply, as our 2022 benefits package is quite attractive! :)
