Pros
Recently a friend applying for a job asked for my opinion on what was written here. So, I read the reviews and actually laughed at some of them. M&D is a great place to work - and no, it is not for everyone. The interview process is long and many candidates (those that haven't gotten jobs) really don't like it. But, it allows for the hiring of the smartest and most dedicated group of people that I have ever had the pleasure and honor to work with. Incredible people and a company with incredible growth, innovative home-grown products and a commitment to product safety and quality add up to a place that employees can be happy if they want to be. If you are willing to bring your A-game to work every day, you can be happy at Melissa ans Doug.
Cons
It is a long work week with a short lunch break, both of which may take some adjustment coming from another job.
