Pros

Smart co-workers (NOT the CEO nor the COO). But, unfortunately, smart people leave this company quickly due to bad management and 100% surveillance, mobbing and a lot of pressure. Apart from the CEO and COO there are only about 10 employees and every single year 5-6 employees quit because they cannot stand the management and the bad atmosphere. This is 50-60% of the whole company.

Cons

The way the CEO and COO treat their employees (and clients) - they lie, manipulate, surveil, insult and blame others constantly. The reviews are an excellent example and give a perfectly clear picture of the managers, Mark and Tara. While the first five reviews give the company the lowest score possible and state that the managers are unqualified and lower people's self esteem, there is one review that gives the company 5 stars (!!). It actually even says "pro- CEO" and "con -" "Managers and team leaders are high performers, hard working, talented and really smart". It could NOT have been more obvious that this review is written by Tara and Mark themselves, which again shows that they are not "talented and really smart" at all. Furthermore, the review claims "underachievers, always hoping under-achievers will one day start to perform (never happens)" -which is their tactic 100% - always blaming others for failing and saying they will never be good enough. Instead of paying attention to the poor reviews they get and start treating people as humans, they keep seeing themselves as the hard working, super smart people and all the others as "under-achievers". I find it actually quite amusing how naiv it is to put a 5 star review saying all good things about themselves. I guess, the next reviews the management will post, will only be 4 stars to make it less obvious.

Pros

Nice people to work with that are not in management

Cons

Don't apply to work here unless you like sales, even then, expect to have your every action scrutinised under the microscope. Micro managing managers, minimum wage, psychological bullying, no career path, no work/life balance - management expects you to work 10 hours days and still ask why you aren't doing more No company culture

MGM Wireless Response
10y
You response is totally false and misleading. No one regularly works longer that 10 hours, employees receive above industry standard wages and bonuses and shares/options. Three employees (not founders) have made enough money to pay of their home mortgages, HR reviews are conducted every 6 months with in-depth career planning, training, professional development, annual free luxury company-wide trips to Golf Coast, Sydney, New Zealand and more. Every Friday afternoon informal one hour wind down (on company time) for drinks and food (all provided by the company), ongoing staff raining by external professional trainers. Feedback is a good thing - as long as its honest.

Pros

Friendly and supportive workplace culture as highlighted in a previous review, the management at MGM are wonderful people and are supportive of the growth, learning, and development of their employees. Ideas for improvement and suggestions for change are taken on board and acted upon with an open mind which facilitates and motivates employees to challenge the old ways, resulting in positive change. Star Award System allows for the acknowledgement of exceptional work performed by employees that may otherwise go unnoticed, with the Awards being given by fellow employees, it also facilitates good working/personal relationships. Senior Employees are friendly and approachable people who you can rely on.

Cons

At times it can get a bit slow, particularly when you're inexperienced in the work (resulting in limited number of cases you can work on) and everyone else is busy with their own work. That being said, during the early stages, this time should be spent trying to acquire new skills and knowledge that may assist in your role, sooner or later you will be experienced enough to work on a wide variety of issues; and if the senior members are anything to go by, you'll have more than enough on your plate by that point.
