Pros

The company takes excellent care of the employees from a pay, bonus, retirement and benefits perspective. They even have an allowance for safety shoe purchases, and have discounts on items that they sell (should you need something they sell).

Cons

If you come in as an hourly employee, there is almost zero chance of moving up into management, regardless of what they tell you in the interview process. It is a pretty mindless job, as they have done a great job of improving efficiencies by limiting the work an individual employee does to a very tightly defined role.

Pros

* Unprecedented benefits. * The vast majority of workers care about what they do, they do it in a professional manner and are always willing to help. * If they see potential in you they will develop you. * They move people around (again if you have the education and the potential) frequently.

Cons

* Management's treatment of employees has declined in recent years and is hurting morale and employee loyalty. * If you are not on the I.T. side of things or you don't have an ivy league education it's not the greatest place to work, even with the benefits. * If you are at all a slacker, forget about it. We work hard at McM.
