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.

When it comes to growth opportunities, we acknowledge that you felt you had the chance to grow beyond your role with new projects, but that you felt like opportunities for promotion weren't as readily visible. We continually reflect on ways that we can improve, so that added detail is very valuable to us. Thank you for everything that you have done at BetMGM, and we wish you well in your future.

Pros

There are very few positives left that meaningfully outweigh the challenges and current state of the company

Cons

This company feels like a sinking ship. Leadership seems more focused on building personal AI apps and side projects than actually leading their teams or addressing the problems employees face every day. There's little accountability or direction from the top, and the people doing the actual work are left to pick up the pieces. Instead of investing time in supporting employees and improving operations, leadership seems more interested in chasing the next AI trend while the organization continues to decline. Promotions often feel based on favoritism instead of performance, and employee recognition comes across as a retention tactic rather than genuine appreciation. It also sometimes feels like certain employees receive better opportunities and treatment because of who they are connected to or even their last name, rather than the quality of their work. Whether intentional or not, it creates the perception that personal connections matter more than merit, which has hurt morale and trust across the company. Executive leadership also seems completely disconnected from the business. At times, it feels like they spend more time on vacation than supporting their teams, while being largely absent from their responsibilities. The lack of accountability at the top has become impossible to ignore. It's no surprise that so many employees, including members of senior leadership, continue to leave. The majority of the people still here have simply given up and are going through the motions because nothing ever improves. Employees are overworked, underpaid, exhausted, and expected to keep doing more with less while leadership acts like everything is fine. Until leadership starts focusing on people instead of appearances, I do not see this company heading in the right direction.
