Pros

There are some very passionate people that work on the team at HQ. Pay is for the most part in line with industry averages. Good at publicity and marketing the company.

Cons

Leadership is out of touch with reality most of the time and stuck in the past. Erratic, emotional, knee jerk reactive decision making seems to be the rule, not the exception. In the short time I was there, someone cried in almost every single management or staff meeting. Everyone seems to be overwhelmed and running in the red all the time. The culture is combative and depressing with everyone just trying to avoid being at the receiving end of the uber controlling, micro-manager CEO's tirade at any given moment. The company overall is smoke and mirrors and made to appear like they have things more together than it does. Operationally things are extremely inefficient and chaotic.

Pros

The communication was great if I reached out to anyone, and they stood strong for me during a dispute with one of the contracted companies. Plus, they automatically increased my pay a few times without any requests from me.

Cons

I found the client myself, but after I was working with the client directly for a while, Uncle Sam stepped in and said they had to have a third party management group for tax purposes. Once I became a part of MMG, things went great until the client stopped hiring contractors as often. I mentioned to MMG a few times that I would like to be brought on as an editor at other locations/clients. The response I got was the equivalent of "We've filed your resume amongst the stack of others in case someone asks us for it". It's been years and I've never been interviewed or sent to another client for work. The amount of work I get from them now is the equivalanet of unemployment.
