Pros

Madison Reed as a work culture is an amazing place to work. Truly a company that cares about it’s employees and shows it not only with compensation and benefits but with surveys and action on how they can improve. Woman owned company.

Cons

Extreme burnout with work overload due to high turnover rate. Little to no diversity of race within company. C-team and VP teams lack any POC.
