Pros

Health benefits (although not very good). Once in a while there is a party. Coworkers are nice and the office atmosphere is casual.

Cons

LONG hours, high stress, shady practices, no or barely any yearly increases in pay, no 401k match, bad management. No growth opportunities. Expect to be there at least two full days for your "interview" doing real work unpaid (if you don't make it that long then don't expect a call back offering you a job)

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.
