Pros

Recently a friend applying for a job asked for my opinion on what was written here. So, I read the reviews and actually laughed at some of them. M&D is a great place to work - and no, it is not for everyone. The interview process is long and many candidates (those that haven't gotten jobs) really don't like it. But, it allows for the hiring of the smartest and most dedicated group of people that I have ever had the pleasure and honor to work with. Incredible people and a company with incredible growth, innovative home-grown products and a commitment to product safety and quality add up to a place that employees can be happy if they want to be. If you are willing to bring your A-game to work every day, you can be happy at Melissa ans Doug.

Cons

It is a long work week with a short lunch break, both of which may take some adjustment coming from another job.

Pros

I never thought I would find a job where I actually enjoy coming to work. There is nothing like enjoying what you do for a living. You spend majority of your life with your co-workers and I love ever bit of my time I here at Melissa & Doug. You are constantly busy building great relationships with their awesome clientele who at times are a riot themselves. You have better understanding of the interview process once you start working here and seeing the dynamic they have created to ensure that you as well as your co workers enjoy coming to work. Melissa and Doug are some of the most humble bosses I have ever had in my life and I have had some pretty big Forbes list worthy bosses. They treat every employee as if you are their only employee and truly have a passion for what they do. I am very disturbed by the inaccuracies of this website you are hired for you the person not the degree you hold, the college you attended or even the accomplishments you have made. If you are a down to earth awesome person then they want you. There are no smoke and mirrors in this company you get what you see.
