Pros

If you're an alcoholic or embody the fraternity/sorority persona, then sure. If you're sane and value mental health, work/life balance, family time, and self-respect then take this as a blessing - run away! They tend to recruit alot of europeans from the rough/industrial part of the woods without much etiquette and training. Most don't even have degrees higher than HS Diploma. I feel sorry for our clients because they're just being manipulated to thinking that this is the best quality work - when in reality - we're just scheming them.

Cons

Management is so horrendous. Within one year, I've seen over 35 people leave a single MP office in North America. You might get a few decent managers, but it's all about who brings in the most revenue. Do not trust anyone. I made that mistake. People will gossip, back stab, and walk over you to get what they want. Oh, be prepared listen to vulgarity, unprofessionalism, racial remarks, and discriminatory statements - even from upper management. You will have NO time for a life outside of work. The standard days are 8am-6pm. You'll get a disapproving vibe if you arrive on time at 8am and don't even think to leave by 6:30pm - if you're lucky. This company prefers you to find something to do in order to kill time even if you've finished work by 5:30pm. You have an hour lunch,. but you better time it right. Bonus? Yeah, sure. Discretionary. It's all dependent on your manager and I've seen multiple managers pocket more since they're greedy and don't feel the need to be transparent or disclose that value to any employees. Most of these senior managers/upper management are fairly young and didn't receive proper training - so it will impact the entire team. I wish the recruiter, who most of us speak with to nail this job, was more honest and upfront with me. THEY WILL SELL YOU THE DREAM - just to leave the company after a few weeks. I am not exaggerating. I wish that I was - you're value is based on performance metrics and numbers. It's just a numbers game. Help yourself. Something better will come along. Do not work here. Some of the senior management don't even have anything pass a HS Diploma.
