Pros

The day to day people are nice, the parent companies and upper management are disorganized, slow to evolve , and have impeded company growth and more importantly retention.

Cons

80% turnover since 4Q 2021, company has exhausted local talent. Potential new hires should consider other agencies hiring remotely. Was micromanaged and asked about my status on teams the second it turned yellow. Promotions only given when someone leaves. This is not a company you want to work at.

We appreciate your review. Unfortunately, there are numerous inaccuracies with what you have posted, and we would have loved to address these concerns with you in person to ensure your information was correct and you had visibility into the larger organization and further insight into how we operate. High performers and those with the desire to learn and grow will always see opportunities and promotions at MRG. We have a 45+ year history of growing our talent, and with a current team of over 350 awesome individuals, we look forward to continuing to reward our people for their incredible work each and every day. We DO have annual reviews at MRG, along with a very fair, formal, and detailed method for compensation and promotions decisions. More importantly, we urge all employees and managers to not wait for an annual review, but to have frequent discussions on performance, improvements, career path, and more. We want our employees to succeed and feel like valued members of the team. And our management from the top down is accessible and invested in ensuring this is the case. We encourage anyone interested in MRG to talk to not get information solely from Glassdoor reviews. Instead, talk to us live! We’re good people, doing good work, and we’d love for you to come be a part of a great team!

Pros

Great PTO plan and great coworkers

Cons

If you’re a CM you will be paid one salary to work three positions. This company will do anything but pay their employees to stay. Absolutely horrendous pay and there is no structure to the pay scale. People have been leaving the CM Team at Martin due to blatant inequitable compensation. It is so egregious that there have been 11 Campaign Managers leave so far since the start of this Summer. The CEO and upper management has been completely silent in their response to this mass exodus of people in such a short time. They either do not care or cannot see that the pay is the problem. We’ve been told many things about our lacking pay when attempting to have a substantial increase equal to the work, “the GMCO team has to approve the increase; Publicis would have to approve the increase; we’ve had budget cuts this year" (even when we’re told it’s been a record year so far).
