Pros

They have a knack for hiring great people.

Cons

Hands down, the worst place I have worked. You're paid a salary, but that turns out to be hourly. You need to make up hours for sick days or get docked. Half hour lunches, timed breaks between calls, complete lack of transparency, little faith in employees, less faith in customers, my supervisors often went behind my back and shipped more than customers ordered, then acted like it was silly to worry. Often repeated that most small businesses close in five years anyway so they were doing them a favor by overselling them for their space or budget. Nothing illegal I guess, but slippery and absolutely no looking out for employees.

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.
