Pluspunten

M has a lot to offer career driven individuals who would like the flexibility to try out different departments and roles. It has great benefits with the usual medical, dental, vision, but also offers PTO Exchange for travel and other purchases, life insurance, tuition reimbursement, plenty of fun office events and employee resources, plus a hybrid work schedule, and let’s not forget that amazing AIP bonus - it is not guaranteed annually, but has been consistent over the past 8 years, and it is based on performance, (which I appreciate)and is around 12-15% of your salary! The company has performed exceptionally YOY, even during pandemic and the economy. Most of leadership is new and is trying to rebuild the culture to a more team-like atmosphere. They are building a brand new office that mirrors Portland in upscale Uptown Dallas, TX, and is offering incentives to seed culture there. As with all companies there are items to work through, growing pains, and some employees who are skeptical of the expansion. Having seen the transition from a 25+ year CEO and management to a short-term group, and now this new leadership team, I think we will get there and we will come out stronger. M is a great place to be, and to build a career, I am proud to be part of this team and the opportunities it holds.

Minpunten

The only reason I didn’t do a 5 Star is because there is always room for improvements. M’s new leadership team is trying, unfortunately there are some employees pushing boundaries, not following the requested hybrid schedule, and that brings scrutiny on everyone. It’s unfortunate because this creates negative responses, but I think they are trying to do so in a positive way. They could up the original PTO start balance to 4 weeks, but we do get 2 flex days to be used at your discretion, 12 hours volunteer time, and extra holiday days.

Pluspunten

I love working here, it’s a great fit for the right strengths. If you’re an adaptable, tenacious, problem solver, you’ll thrive. There are repetitive and unique tasks that arise, satisfying both needs for structure and challenge. I’ve watched our CEO grow with his delivery during town halls and office interactions.

Minpunten

Internal communications could be more streamlined and centralized; the majority of communications target the field and associates could benefit on less formal internal communications of what’s occurring within business units.

Pluspunten

Modern office space and generally pleasant physical work environment.

Minpunten

Leadership appears to equate visibility with productivity. Employees are closely monitored, and minor deviations from expected routines can receive disproportionate attention. The culture often feels less focused on results and more focused on ensuring people are visibly performing work at all times. Note: the lowest pay in the industry. There is a noticeable gap between stated values and day-to-day management practices. Professional adults are treated as though they require constant oversight, which creates an atmosphere of distrust. Rather than empowering employees to succeed, management frequently defaults to control, criticism, and second-guessing. Training and development expectations are often unrealistic. Employees are expected to rapidly absorb complex material while simultaneously maintaining full workloads and navigating shifting expectations. Success is expected, but meaningful support is inconsistent. The organization would benefit from spending less time monitoring employees and more time addressing strategic priorities, process improvements, and retention concerns. Talented people do not leave because the work is difficult; they leave because they are exhausted by unnecessary management friction.
