They Use You Up and Throw You Away-unless you are one of the "boys"

Anonymous employee

CEO approval

Pros

Salary is competitive (though it should be for what you have to endure). Benefits are comptetitive with most industries.

Cons

It's not what you know, it's who you know. A toxic environment that thrives on using fear tactics and intimedation. The "good ole boy" system is alive and well......prepare for 70 hour weeks at least. The home-work balance doesn't exist...they own you and when they have used you up, they toss you to the street like garbage. They talk a good game with regards to caring for employees but they will buy more facilities and when the check comes due, they get rid of good employess to pay their bills.

Not a great career choice for anyone

Anonymous employee

Pros

If you are a white man with limited ideas, then you might fit in. Don't let the fact that the CEO is a woman fool you. She is just a figure head.

Cons

There is simply no direction from the top at MRB. They are all long time buddies sitting on top of their thrones doing nothing. The company i in decline because Tamra Lundgren allowed the perpetuation of the good old boys club destroy any hope of SCHN doing well. Anytime good ideas are launched, a good old boy is right there to kill it. The boys have even resorted to using the anymous ethics hotline to get rid of people they don't like. I witnessed it with my own eyes. They are corrupt!

Do I have to give them one star?

Anonymous employee

Pros

They will spend a ton of money to relocate you from far away because nobody local who knows about them wants to work for them.

Cons

Once you get there you will deal with the kind of garbage almost every reviewer has reported. I worked there for more than a year and should have received combat pay for what I endured.
