Pros

Many EXCELLENT co-workers!! Great product Great customer service

Cons

Terminated most people in mid level management that made "too much" money several years ago so they could hire at "local" wages. especially in the South! no loyalty to employees crappy raises top management quit caring after Sid passed and Mitchell left. branch managers used HR as a weapon not a tool

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good and committed, but many of the company’s systems, distribution processes, and technology are significantly outdated.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