Pros

Newly remodeled office space is a great improvement. Somewhat flexible hours (see followup under "Cons"). Free coffee, large cafeteria, and plenty of parking space.

Cons

Please note: be weary of positive reviews for this company. They run "social media contests" where they encourage employees to leave positive reviews on Glassdoor and Facebook in exchange for prizes and raffle entries. Unfortunately, this is a very stressful company to work for. Upper management and the art directors are very closed-minded, ego-driven, and unpleasant to work with. Office politics play an immense part in your daily work day. They preach "The MX Values" such as "respectful feedback over politeness and hierarchy" and "openness to feedback over personal pride", however you quickly find out this is not the case. A blame-driven environment quickly saps any creativity in favor of inner-office politics. Salary employees are taken advantage of, and forced to work extra and late hours without compensation. No appreciation, and employees are treated as disposable assets. Absolutely no room for advancement. This explains the high turnover rate.

Pros

Flexible hours; realistic, attainable benefits; work/life balance is somewhat synchronized. However, extra hours worked are not compensated, nor appreciated.

Cons

It’s been exactly a year since my unwilling “separation,” and what I can say is from my own observations: communication between team members is extremely poor to non-existent. The complete lack of leadership is apparent as certain individuals are viewed as infallible/exhaustingly venerated to the point of nausea (despite visible lack of practical knowledge and application); while the disfavored are hung out to dry, and quite often thrown under the bus to their superiors. Accountability is not in place, as finger-pointing overrides constructive recourse, ever promoting the use of the double standard. Moreover, a systemic, disgusting obsession with titles and dubious “seniority” seem to be paramount over proper diligence and ethic. This is not the place to launch a career, as mentoring is a supposed "non-factor," as supposed experience is valued more so than eagerness to learn/grow- horrendously depressing outlook for equal advancement opportunities.

Pros

The Mx Group is very employee oriented and the group of people is amazing.

Cons

It takes five years of employment to reach to get an increase in PTO. Also located 20 miles out of the city, leaving a long commute.
