Fun Company, Looking inward!

Pros

As a new member of the M&D team I was pleasantly surprised at the welcoming and friendly environment. The people are all fantastic - everyone has introduced themselves and they've all been extremely helpful. Both founders have taken so much time to get to know me and help educate me on the products, brand and mission. They truly care about their employees and are open to hearing feedback and working daily to listen and act on it. Leadership is committed to making it a great place to work and that has been refreshing.

Cons

I'm still trying to figure that out! I think there is a real commitment to employees and leadership can continue making that understood.

Pros

meeting a few sweet people a paycheck, (that was minimal and crappy insurance deductions) relatively peaceful environment if you minded your own business and didn't get involved with anyone or anything there great discount on toys

Cons

Hours are inhumane Bosses are dishonest and jerks, will lie and promise things for months to get the company in a better position and then leave you out to dry - don't trust them for anything!! Feels like a slave factory Cameras everywhere Never an ounce of fresh air in the building, but constant chemical "cleaners" spraying Co-workers are pretty much all "stuck" there, unsatisfied and overworked employees doesn't make for a happy environment miserably lean benefits rigid policies and unrealistic expectations for humans who have families and lives horrible place to be, what a nightmare every night, knowing the next morning you were stuck going back there again for 10 more hours!! clockwatchers cheap as cheap can be
