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.
