Pros

You get to connect with some absolutely amazing clients.

Cons

From my personal experiences working with them- Please avoid this place to work if you want to focus on bettering lives. (As a DSP) You will not get to do your job because you are always looking over your shoulder waiting for a snake to bite. Most people I have worked with, under this company only value their egos and enjoying managing by intimidation. If you step out of line or do something that they deem to be some sort of delusional threat to their position or fragile ego or do anything wrong they will make sure you are miserable so that you leave on your own accord. They abuse their staff verbally and emotionally in front of other staff members for their own enjoyment. There are MANY staff members that have been bullied to the point of quitting because Meridian doesn't want to pay for unemployment if the managers decide to fire people. Management is just a sad petty high school rumor mill operation. This place is toxic. Please avoid it if you value your mental health.
