If you like mindless work with zero work life balance , no benefits and zero appreciation , than this is the place for you !

Pros

Don't take work home with you. That is really the only pro.

Cons

No benefits or very poor benefits - your choice. No work life balance . No email, customers complain about it all the time. Owners drive Bentleys and Hummers but refuse to improve benefits. Company could be great but at the helm of greedy people.

Pros

Salary is good makes great toys

Cons

Management thrives on intimidation and recruits people down on their luck or out of work. Annually the company shops their crappy insurance and uses it as veiled peek into your personal life. Everyone is required to discllose Complete medical history. Failure to disclose this information could result in committing fraud. Pettiness degradation run rampant throughout the organization and is encouraged .

If you have a moral compass, this will be a tough company to work for

Pros

Co-workers are great for the most part. They are the only aspect that makes this company tolerable. Otherwise it would be completely unbearable. Sales training is great if you're new to the field. This isn't a terrible job to do right out of college--it forces you to work extremely hard and you'll learn sales from the ground up. Put in a year and bail on this sweat shop.

Cons

Well first of all, does anyone find it strange that numerous "veterans" of the company decided one day that they were going to write glowing reviews of the company out of the blue? You should. These are HR requested. Most I'm sure know that this company is ethically and morally challenged. It's true. I can only speak for my sales experience, but it's common practice to overship product to people, lie to them, make it nearly in possible to return product, mislead them, etc. etc. etc. I'm pretty sure there are some bonafide sociopaths in the mix as well. Paranoia and fear pervade the office environment. Greed on an unimaginable scale. 30 minutes for lunch, which by the way I'm pretty sure is illegal in CT--but I'm sure M&D has figured out a loophole in the salary structure that allows for it.
