Pros
Everyone is very health-conscious and likes to work out. By mid-day, a majority of employees are in workout attire. Wellness card gets $ auto-loaded by the company every month to spend on any of MB's clients. Onsite massages and fitness classes, 2-floor slide, and daycare--all great perks. Overall fairly strong emphasis on work and life balance. A good place to get a job once out of Cal Poly.
Cons
Nearly every chief or exec is external, and you would think that means fresh perspectives, new skill sets, and competency BUT Rick ensured his executive team are all yes sir kind of people rather than those that actually bring in meaningful change or attempt to challenge him/Board for what's best for the company. When it comes to the glue aka middle management there's a big gap in both MB not promoting from within or appropriately developing talent from its lower ranks. Nor did I observe chief/exec level personnel implement anything meaningful for leadership development. Lots of surveys and lip service but not a lot of effect from the bottom up. This created a very frustrating have and have not culture. Parking is a hassle because you're forced to park offsite at least a third to a half of the year, unless you're a higher up and then you get a special parking pass. It's in slow SLO, which may be good if you want small town feel, but not great if you want an urban bustling environment or diversity. Central Coast is beautiful but a bit too removed from major hubs - let's just say there are a lot of Trump signs in town by California standards. The town of SLO seems to also be very anti-growth and very pro-keep things the way it USED to be which is fine if you're affluent and can afford to actually buy. The company is not very diverse either, and neither is SLO.
