Pros

The big money they throw at you is there way to keep you coming back each day, after the brutal work load you're required to fulfil each day! And with very little praise whatsoever...

Cons

How you are treated if you haven't been a veteran for at least 7-10 years there. It's very cliquey and there is a lot of backstabbing. Only 30 min for lunch. Not a good work atmosphere. It's a "what have you done for me lately" type environment!

Pros

Since joining the company, I’ve seen continuous growth and meaningful change for the better. M&D fosters one of the most welcoming and friendly work environments I’ve experienced. It’s a place you can truly be proud to work, not just because of their commitment to delivering quality products, but also because of the genuine care they show for their people.

Cons

The company is in a phase of transformation and integration which comes with its pain points.

Pros

Salary only without stress of commissions.

Cons

Limited opportunities for growth. Leadership hiring is always from the outside.
