Living the Madison Reed Values!

Pros

I feel like I belong here and that I am a part of a family. It is easy living the values when you work for a company like Madison Reed. The CEO Amy is the real deal. She LIVES, EATS and BREATHES Madison Reed. She is a Compassionate, Empathetic, Mother, Wife and Owner...she also makes you feel like you are important to the Brand. Actually...she convinces you of that, and I believe that with my whole heart. Upper management is supportive and respectful of our abilities to run our Color Bar as if it was our own, but are there in a split second if we need their assistance or support. Truly an amazing company.

Cons

I"ll let you know if I experience one

Pros

The hiring team at Madison Reed is first class. I've interviewed with some of the biggest names out there and the process that MR practices is very effective. They genuinely care about who they bring on board and how they will help serve the overall mission. Looking forward to joining a fun, creative, and bold brand that strives to live out its mission through Love, Trust, Courage, Responsibility, and Joy. It's easy to say the words and much harder to live by them.

Cons

Haven't experienced anything thus far. Although I'm sure there will be some twist and turns along the way.
