Pros

My time at Madison Reed overall was great. I had a great team and really good rapport with my team members. My direct manager was as transparent has they could be but still did their best to ensure my skills and contributions were not unnoticed. My team members were really unique and made the really great membories for me. The work environment and culture could improve but still has some positive asspects but that was mostly within my own team. Not a lot opportunities to interact with other departments/teams.

Cons

Blatant favortism towards uppermanagement. Even when there are too many complaints/issues brought up. They are just swept under the rug with no action.

Pros

The manager was rude and was just concerned with hiring a key holder. He never asked questions about experience.

Cons

The salary offered for a managerial position was laughable $55,000 compared to the job's demands and responsibilities.
