Pros

Overtime is usually freely available for those that need it...even when you don't want it.

Cons

In my experience the upper management in this company are incompetent. I saw people with a long history on the floor that knew the best ways to keep the plant running get their advice ignored in favor of new college graduates the company would hire. I saw multiple ethical issues arise within upper management as well, too numerous to list in this review. The one that I will always remember is a manager that would leave the plant during night shift to go out to eat and gamble at the casino down the road from us. When other managers were confronted with this they would simply reply that they knew and would handle it. Of course in the entire time I was there this never happened.

Pros

The people actually doing the work MBM in principle The coffee makers

Cons

This is not an organization that understands marketing or prioritizes it. Do not come here if you’re looking to advance your marketing skills or make an impact You have to pay for parking Highly political organization Preference to talkers vs those who are truly qualified Misuse of MBM Pay and merit increases don’t exist and don’t happen on an annual basis. You have to ask and they can deny you based on performance Highly matrixed Org and having to involve everyone makes it very difficult to get anything done or moved forward No real decision rights to workers but no one wants to make a decision at upper levels Very reactive Not a data driven business despite saying they are; it’s a buzzword with no rigor Keep middle management and below in the dark on critical business results due to lack of trust Women have a very tough time here and HR is generally ineffective Hoteling office concept very distracting and makes it hard to collaborate
