Pros

meeting a few sweet people a paycheck, (that was minimal and crappy insurance deductions) relatively peaceful environment if you minded your own business and didn't get involved with anyone or anything there great discount on toys

Cons

Hours are inhumane Bosses are dishonest and jerks, will lie and promise things for months to get the company in a better position and then leave you out to dry - don't trust them for anything!! Feels like a slave factory Cameras everywhere Never an ounce of fresh air in the building, but constant chemical "cleaners" spraying Co-workers are pretty much all "stuck" there, unsatisfied and overworked employees doesn't make for a happy environment miserably lean benefits rigid policies and unrealistic expectations for humans who have families and lives horrible place to be, what a nightmare every night, knowing the next morning you were stuck going back there again for 10 more hours!! clockwatchers cheap as cheap can be

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.
