Pros
The core business at ME does well on the backs of giants like Walmart
Cons
Unfortunately, due to this conditional success - the thought is they can tackle any other type of business with the same, misplaced mentality/confidence. This place is an old school company. (As an example, no one knew what Glassdoor was and upon discovery, they scrambled and “asked” their favorite employees to write favorable reviews. So be wary of early/mid 2019, super rosey reviews for a truer sense of the place.) As attempts to be dynamic collide with the old school nature of the company, the execution, labor, ill-informed directional decisions, do-it-at-all-costs and do it today type efforts fall on the bulk of the company’s workers. The concept of 360 feedback is not a term used there, and the only information the owners receive is from the C-Suite or VP level — all folks telling them everything is great, as fires roar behind them, for fear of their jobs. Dishonesty and behaving like a bully is valued, while honesty and being hardworking will truly screw you over there. There have been some solid new hires and some long term employees that are trying to inject the place with good energy and concepts from this decade, but their voices are deafened by the constant operational turmoil, cutthroat nature of the company, and erratic decisions being made via the company’s attempts to be “dynamic”.
