Morgan McKinley Employee Reviews about "career progression"

Pros

Great benefits, career progression and people are the best!

Cons

Benefits are not the best, no Healthcare

Pros

If you are young and looking to gain some experience in recruitment, this is a good place the start for experience only!

Cons

They talk about diversity - yet there is no evidence of diversity in the company! Career progression is a mystical opportunity that doesn't exist unless you are there 6 years + when they start making up jobs with fancy new titles for the senior people but in reality nothing changes. Its an old boys club "Managers" have zero people management skills across the company and their self serving attitude they had as a recruiter 8 years ago remains the same Despite how much you bill, they will only talk about KPIs... basically they need to justify the job middle management do so KPIs is their go to for that! Does it make logical sense? No! there is no place for logic here. They will wow you with an extravagant and expensive xmas party in a 5* hotel, instead of paying you a fair wage for your job. Salary disparity if rife! Consultants with the same experience could have differing salaries by nearly 5K with no reasoning behind it at all.

Pros

A Company with a strong structure around career progression, people are promoted in proven ability and not on tenure.

Cons

Culture has taken a hit with the remote working and there’s been change in personnel but nothing that won’t be reclaimed with some return to the office.

Pros

I met some genuinely lovely and great people when working there. There was a very warm and welcoming atmosphere in the Support Teams. Support is a busy area and there were always good projects going on.

Cons

Salary and benefits are awful and this was beginning to create a lot of resentment in Support. You got the feeling that everyone in Support was considered "a cost" rather than an essential part of the organisation. There is no annual pay review, instead you have to make sure that your Director likes you and / or be lucky by asking at the right time - bizarre! New roles are created at random and given to certain people without explanation, leading to a lack of trust in management. Complete lack of career progression too.

Pros

I think Morgan McKinley provide their employees with excellent career progression opportunities. The office environment is fun & employees are rewarded well for their achievements. The company is not afraid of change or trying out new ideas/processes. Like any role it is hard work, expectations are high and you are expected to perform but you are encouraged & supported to do this.

Cons

Hours can be long & there is a bit of a culture that this is the norm. This is typical of the recruitment industry but maybe more promotion of work/life balance would be beneficial.

Pros

Great career progression opportunities. A large global organisation with a smaller family feel. The culture in MMK is fanstastic. Authentic leaders. Great flexibility options and transformational in their approach to recruitment.

Cons

There is so much going on that you really need to be selective as to what you get involved in so you don't become overstretched.

Pros

Morgan McKinley is an excellent company to work for for people who want to develop a career in Recruitment. They have a very competitive commission structure with uncapped earning potential. The training for new and existing people is second to none and the ongoing support they give to their staff is exceptional. Career progression and developing their people is something they feel strongly about. Everyone is constantly looking out for each other and there is that great sense of community within the company.

Cons

No downsides come to mind

Professional brand, nice offices, good social activities, most managers are good at what they do.

Lack of career progression, awful benefits package, no support for staff with families, sometimes it feels like it's about who you know to get ahead
