Pros

Great if you work in their Charlotte location.

Cons

People have been let go. Departments have been closed or consolidated and no one on here has mentioned that? How can you give good reviews to a company that promised no layoffs and then starting letting people go more than two years ago. Ridiculous!

Pros

Salary is good, office is nice

Cons

MSC has a new CEO and several external executive leaders who have joined the organization with a clear vision to transform the business. The people are genuinely good and committed, but many of the company’s systems, distribution processes, and technology are significantly outdated. The company recognizes the need for transformation, which is why it has brought in experienced external leadership. However, there appears to be a gap between the transformation vision and the level of investment required to execute it. Large-scale initiatives often face resource and funding constraints, making it difficult to move at the pace needed
