My brief time at MHS can best be summed up with two words "bizzaro world."

Proposal department

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

There are no good reasons to work at this company; they are a nightmare and I'm truly not sure they will continue to be a company much longer the way they are run.

Cons

Disorganization, terrible political in-fighting among the divisions, lack of credible management, no regard to employees or the value they bring.

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Excellent PTO and benefits, challenging environment, great colleagues. Company has a good strategy for growth if they can execute it. Has lots of capital available for strategic purchases to support growth initiativies.

Cons

Very tight budgets with too frequent layoffs. IT backbone (I-Series) is dated and company is hesitant to risk a replacement and prefers to patch it rather than fix it.

Early years great, bankruptcy and restructure resulted in management mess

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Management in the first few years was great; balanced workload, pleasant team members, satisfactory salary, work-life balance great. Never expected to work extra hours without notice - usually a month's notice before large projects were due.

Cons

After bankruptcy in 2003, slew of middle management laid off and I was ricocheted around from group to group with no clear direction in my career path or expectations for my position.
