Pros

The best reason to consider working for MW is the team culture. From upper management to the manufacturing sites, there is an incredible amount of talent that is eager to grow and service their markets. MW has grown tremendously over the recent years and provides a lot of upward mobility opportunity to each employee. Current management is always eager and willing to help while encouraging an entrepreneurial spirit.

Cons

Being owned by private equity has its down sides. While there are far more pros than cons, it is tough to manage the expectations of a company with such aggressive growth plans. Having to work for multiple owners over the years with a lot of changeover in upper management is taxing and often leads to struggles at the site level. Short term gains can outweigh long term sustainability.

Pros

- Some cool coworkers - Decent pay

Cons

Honestly, most of the problems came from management. Upper management handled the recent merger terribly, and after that everything seemed to slowly fall apart. The office atmosphere felt miserable. People were constantly overworked, underappreciated, and managed by supervisors who often seemed to get their positions through favoritism rather than actual ability. The whole culture felt like a boys’ club. Layoffs happened regularly, and instead of bringing in fresh talent, they usually just shuffled people around internally within MW. As the company started losing money, management’s attempts to fix things only made customers more frustrated and led to even more layoffs. One situation that really summed things up for me was being reprimanded by upper management for doing something plant management had specifically instructed me to do. Moments like that made it obvious there was basically no communication or alignment between upper and middle management.
