Pros

I'm writing this on behalf of my experience and some of my old coworkers, as I keep in touch with some of them that work at MAG still and they tell me about what is happening. Working remotely is nice but it's not everything, you're time tracked so you have to be moving your mouse and using your keyboard for literally 8 hours, sometimes it makes the day feel much longer. At first, the job was exciting because of the variety of businesses you get to interact with and it is very fast-paced if you have large accounts, but Amazon and clients will give you major headaches. I suppose I advanced my people skills (or learning how to be fake when needed) but that's about the biggest takeaway. There were some really nice people who worked here. My favorite part was the connections I made with some people.

Cons

Random Lay Offs still occur frequently -- when I was working here, it would seem like people would be randomly let go all the time. Seems like they love Filipinos because they are hard workers, but they can also pay them a lot less and then let them go easier. Even if you know you're a good employee, this fear would be instilled in you that you might be let go without warning, and I think that still exists there. I don't see any great benefits like PTO or insurance, it was all subpar to the majority of companies out there nowadays. I'm glad I got out.

I'm glad your connections made at MAG are so strong you still stay in touch with them. That shows me our culture we built is remarkable. Just to set the record on some of your claims: Anyone who follows the core values of our company is never fired or laid off. MyAmazonGuy.com/core We did a single re-org in January of 2023 when Chat GPT went mainstream. We have a 300 person organization, there are a lot of people coming and going and that's normal for agencies. I personally have only fired 2 people in 2023.

Pros

Remote work - that’s all no night differential pay

Cons

They will screencapture everything on your screen and will force you to brand yourself and your personal account with their brand. Extremely invasive.

Thank you for sharing your experience. We take feedback seriously and appreciate when former or current team members speak up. We use tracking tools to ensure accountability, protect client data, and maintain productivity standards in a fully remote environment. These tools are disclosed during the hiring process, and expectations are communicated clearly before employment begins. Regarding personal branding, no one is required to give up ownership of their private accounts. When we encourage team members to showcase their professional work, it is intended to support career growth and credibility in the ecommerce space, not to intrude on personal identity. We recognize that our performance standards and structure may not be the right fit for everyone. Our goal is to create a transparent, high-performance environment while continuously improving based on constructive input.
