Pros

Have relaxed from the strict environment of the past; nice new office; good product; committed to positive social impact; flexible working arrangements for non-locals.

Cons

Have become too top heavy with tons of managers who manage just a few people and each level seems more and more out of touch with the actual workers with the CEO not accessible; claim they value "associate" input but only if it is in favor of their agenda; upper management has no interest in the common worker, not acknowledging or responding to efforts to get involved; cheapened up on product--cutting costs but at the expense of value and then raising the prices beyond inflation rates; no real opportunity for advancement.

Pros

Since joining the company, I’ve seen continuous growth and meaningful change for the better. M&D fosters one of the most welcoming and friendly work environments I’ve experienced. It’s a place you can truly be proud to work, not just because of their commitment to delivering quality products, but also because of the genuine care they show for their people.

Cons

The company is in a phase of transformation and integration which comes with its pain points.

Limited opportunities for growth. Leadership hiring is always from the outside.
