Pros

Casual dress, some lovely people to work with

Cons

This place is a lawsuit waiting to happen. I've had a Director ask me to get him coffee in front of other meeting participants, and laugh about it. There is rampant sexism, including women making suggestions, being ignored, and a man repeating the same things moments later and everyone chiming in on it. There are members of the staff that excel in passive aggression. At the same time I've had people come to me after meetings to ask if I was ok, and once actually brought me a glass of water!

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.
