Pros

The biggest positives of working at BetMGM were the supportive and drama-free team culture within the digital marketing department and the excellent work-life balance—I consistently worked no more than 40 hours per week. Management was respectful and made a clear effort to recognize employees and make them feel appreciated. There were also meaningful opportunities to get involved in new projects, which allowed me to grow beyond my core role. The environment was low-stress, the workload was manageable, and my colleagues across the immediate team were genuinely kind and collaborative.

Cons

The main downsides of the role were tied to compensation, growth opportunities, and cross-functional collaboration. The salary was significantly below market compared to what I’ve earned in similar roles since leaving. While the overall meeting load wasn't excessive, many meetings included people who didn’t need to be there, making them inefficient. One of the biggest challenges was working with teams outside of my immediate department—processes were vague, approvals were slow, and ownership was unclear, which led to frequent blockers even for minor tasks. Additionally, while I did see some significant promotions, they generally seemed to go to employees who had been with the company for many years. Meaningful raises or faster-track advancement didn’t appear to be common. These factors combined made it feel difficult to progress or execute efficiently despite an otherwise positive day-to-day environment.

Pros

One of the biggest advantages of working at BetMGM was the unlimited PTO policy, which provided flexibility and supported a healthy work-life balance. The benefits package was competitive and included solid healthcare and retirement options. The company also offered employees the opportunity to gain experience in a rapidly growing industry and collaborate with teams across marketing, product, analytics, and operations.

Cons

While I gained valuable experience managing VIP customers and working cross-functionally with various departments, there were several challenges that impacted my overall experience. Leadership often appeared disconnected from the day-to-day realities and challenges faced by frontline employees. Opportunities for advancement did not always feel transparent, and promotions sometimes appeared to be influenced more by personal relationships than by performance and results. Career growth opportunities were limited, and internal promotions frequently came with compensation increases that did not reflect the additional responsibilities. Management support varied significantly across teams. In my experience, communication, coaching, and employee development could have been stronger. Employees were often expected to navigate complex situations independently without receiving sufficient guidance or support. Additionally, there appeared to be a lack of diversity within leadership positions, which limited representation and different perspectives at the management level. Overall, BetMGM can be a good place to gain experience in the gaming industry, but there is room for improvement in leadership transparency, employee development, career progression, and compensation.
