Pros

GREAT training program (one of the best)- similar to a "Sales Boot Camp" - no work outside of work (when the day ends, you are free after work and on weekends) - great Entry Level place to work and learn about sales, then move on cause you'll never have a career here (this is only a JOB).

Cons

Long hours, NO raises, bonuses, or commission, extreme micro-managing, big brother is ALWAYS watching, NO upward mobility within the company and ZERO career advancement, way too much office politics, constant employee bullying from management and co-workers, employees attacking other employees (watch your back and front) - people will attack you with a smile - No professional growth (no opportunities for learning new skills) - Everyone becomes extremely complacent after 2 years.

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.
