Hello, thank you for your review. Without any doubt, there is a ton of information to absorb as our Client Services department is responsible for communication on a couple of handfuls of products that can sometimes be detail oriented and nuance-filled in the world of Marketing. During our recruiting, we try our best to vet those that have similar experience to eliminate any learning curves, but there are times where we are sold on ambition, and this can lead to the feeling of a individual feeling overwhelmed. We thank you for the complement on our culture-- it is something that we pride ourselves on. We hope that you will be able to take what you did learn and be very successful in the future!

Pros

I worked at OMG for several years, ultimately leaving for a better position elsewhere, something closer to what I’d wanted to do. OMG was a good place to learn many things in a short period of time. I learned every aspect of my field, I managed a terrific team, and I was able to pick up some powerful management skills along the way. Overall, I felt supported at all times by my superior, Corain Cash, who is an exemplary leader and role model for just about everyone in the company. Shout out to OMG for remaining flexible as we all transitioned from in-office to virtual during the pandemic. Flexibility is the biggest reason I stayed at this job. I was able to have a life outside of work, for that I was grateful. I was also able to work while traveling, which was a major plus, especially since there is no designation between vacation time and sick days. The tech infrastructure was (and still is) top notch. I appreciated having a proprietary CRM system and knowledgeable leadership (Josh Early) to manage the tech aspects of my job. Help was never more than a Slack message away. Josh is a strong leader who managed to be attentive and aware, which made my job much easier. The most positive aspect of my job at OMG was relationship-building. It was extremely difficult to leave my own team. It was difficult to leave my fellow managers and many of the friends I made along the way. While not all were a joy to work with, many were. There was quite a bit of casual camaraderie.

Cons

There were a few things that led to my decision to leave, though a major factor was the desire to do something different altogether. With a shift to virtual work comes a gradual micromanagement creep. This became overwhelming at times. While I felt as though I kept things up well (as did my manager peers), the building undercurrent of micromanagement felt like misplaced distrust. With micromanagement comes bottlenecking, and this was happening, also. As more people joined the ranks of upper level management, eager to prove themselves, there were more and more obstacles and people asserting themselves. It seemed totally unnecessary and a hindrance to getting the job done. I also witnessed the “Peter Principle” play out several times - newly-promoted managers who seemed to be rewarded simply for being there a long time, consistency, personality, outgoing nature. Once promoted, these people seemed to crash and burn, elevated past their level of competence. There were talented managers who truly deserved promotions, but there were many who didn’t. I believe this is a symptom of being a “young” company (not in terms of longevity or age, but experience). Many newer managers are quite inexperienced, and while new managers bring fresh energy, they also bring immaturity (and social shenanigans, if I can be blunt).

Thank you for your in-depth and thoughtful response. As you know in having been an employee for 4 years+, we have come a very long way in our internal organization, department building, managerial feedback loops, and just overall growth. In going remote, we were forced to rely on the metrics more than ever since we can no longer see the person every morning, or walk over to their office. We have tried to do so in a professional, non ball-busting way, but with many different managers and personalities, some things can get lost in translation. We appreciate the feedback and will continue to progress in building on our better attributes and mitigating any issues that seem to have negatively impact the internal perception of OMG Managers. We wish you the best of success in the next stage of your career!

Pros

I enjoyed making my own schedule with clients and made some great relationships with some getting to know them personally and about their business. It was a salary job, so I wasn't required to work over 40-hours. The commission sales is a great/fun way to get a little extra cash in your pocket.

Cons

This year, new employees start off with 80-hours of PTO which is the least amount I have been offered from any job I've had in the past. If you don't live in FL, your health benefits are expensive and not worth the high-deductibles. The company and managers will say that they don't hold cancellations against you and they're not included in the KPI's for your weekly evaluations since they are "aware" of businesses reasonings such as not having enough funds or closing business. However, don't be surprised if you get fired because of cancellations without a warning. Sales people will say and do anything just to get a small-business to join but they don't get fired for their unrealistic promises and DMS's have to take the blame for the cancellation.

Thank you for your thoughtful and well-constructed review, it is a change of pace from the many others we have received over the years. While we do offer brand new employees 2 weeks of PTO, we also continue to add to that as a bit of tenure is accumulated. As for our insurance coverage, we are a decentralized operation, so our our coverage options have to extend to the 20 or so states where we have employees. We will continue to seek the best possible options for our team members across the country. We wish you all the best and appreciate the feedback!
