Pros

The people get a 5 star review from me! I had an amazing experience getting to know the people at Madison Reed. I felt a really special connection with almost everyone I worked with. Everyone worked so hard for the mission and it was inspiring to be part of that.

Cons

- The VPs, C-levels hire their friends. It has nothing to do with skill and capability. It's all about the connections you had and not about your resume. - They spend so much on fruitless endeavors and then put the pressure on the employees to make up for lost money and time. - Turnover is high. No one at this company, especially in the marketing department seem to last longer than 1 year. They either get forced out, laid off, or they leave because the culture is toxic. I had 3 supervisors in the period of 9 months. - Underpaid and undervalued. They hire people in at way too low of salary and blame their recruiting software for the ranges they come up with. It's disappointing that a company that expects so much from their employees would undervalue people this much.

Pros

I like the product and the clients

Cons

The company seems to reward managers who sit in the back all day and people who are sneaky and fake. Product needed to complete services was always out of stock. Seems like they grew too fast. No other to promotion and no continued education.
