Pros
As an employee who worked at this company for several years and through a lot of transition, this one is hard to answer. Most of these reviews were written at a time where OMG was truly a great place to work. Leadership cared about employees. Leadership cared about the customers. Leadership cared about the mark it was leaving on an industry. If you are an ex-athlete, white male looking for a company that fits a traditional, bland corporate structure, then this may be a good place for you.
Cons
When PE money gets involved, companies often change and this one did too. The new OrderMyGear publicly promotes “Team is everything”, but the only team the CEO is referring to is his executive team. Employee concerns are often minimized or dismissed, specifically as it relates to race related micro aggressions and blatant racism in the workplace. The professional growth opportunities are incredibly limited. There is a much greater emphasis on getting the business ready to sell than employee development, which means lots of outside hires. Communication is very poor. OrderMyGear loves shallow buzz words, and employees are often left confused as to what the goals are. There are some good benefits, but there is shame in using them. An executive team member consistently and publicly shamed an employee for taking paternity leave. Lots of “fire drills” or quick demands of employees that don’t amount to anything. Generally easy work, but anxiety ridden workplace.
