Reading Melissa Bernstein’s recent autobiography

Sales executive

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

The sad account is a hint at why employees were and probably are treated in ways to make them feel belittled, worthless and incapable. Misery seeks company.

Cons

A very toxic work environment.

I Am Embarrassed To Tell People Where I Work!

Designer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

If you read the other reviews, you'll see that most folks will say that the best part of working at M&D is the co-workers. Now that we have been working from home for almost a year, and we don't see our co-workers anymore, this is no longer a "pro".

Cons

The current management team are all former employees of Nestle/Waters. They are systematically firing tenured, educated, valuable employees, and replacing them with rejects from Nestle/Waters. They have changed the face of this company, which is why I am now embarrassed to tell people where I work. We were even FORCED to sign confidentiality agreements.
