PHMG reviews

PHMG is a company that has retained its antiquated and stiff British thinking for 21 years, and now attempting to layer itself towards US expansion. Clients in the field either hate or love the company. The ones that love the audio branding only do so until they get hit by PHMG's shady contract terms, and join everyone else. This organization is a boy's club at the top, and are more concerned about their pockets versus employee well-being. They are much more happy to profit off of your work after you've left the business rather than make any changes at all to how they conduct business. My role was 100% field based and even when travel was starting to get banned due to COVID, the field was not grounded until well after most states/countries shut down travel. In short, and contrary to their slogan, PHMG does not care and would have had me out there in a mask if they could have. They do not encourage free thinkers, and would much rather have an army of poorly trained Account Managers and Branding Consultants to just accomplish the bare minimum to ensure top management can still get paid absurd salaries. It would not be uncommon to have 5-6 face to face meetings scheduled EVERY DAY with little thought to how the logistics would work out. The inside team was KPI'd on how many meetings they scheduled and therefor did not care about the practical application of making it to those meetings. Any realistic alterations to those plans were seen as insubordination and negatively reflected on the rep. It was not uncommon for my own director to ambush call me from the UK (pre 9a in the US) yelling and questioning not only my reasoning, but also my intelligence! There is little to no upward mobility in this organization, and very high turnover rate. Avoid this company if you care about your well-being, or are looking for an organization to grow within.

The company's Senior Management is very unprofessional, disjointed, and inconsistent. They also, do not have a permanent office in the U.S. (which they did lie about upon hiring), therefore, they do not need to adhere to our U.S. employment laws. Very abusive environment, no breaks, very high pressured environment that's at times very unprofessional. Also, they exaggerated the OTE tremendously,,,this is a $130K job at best. Definitely not 200k+ OTE as advertised. After you factor in the low base, lack of benefits etc. You are better off working for a more established U.S. company. Very party hard culture as well....Be very aware! The company also withheld over $10k after I left. This is not a career path to anything...
