Pros

At one time there was a culture but it is very clear that the culture is long gone.

Cons

The management in place is a boys club and rules with a do as I say not as I do philosophy. A large majority of the leaders are aggressive and unprofessional. The same people keep getting promoted. There is no opportunity for growth. They bleed you dry and give you no praise or recognition for a job well done. If you make a tiny mistake you will hear about it repeatedly for the rest of your career.

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good and committed, but many of the company’s systems, distribution processes, and technology are significantly outdated.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
