Pros

It has great hours and the people are great... well lets say the coworkers, pay is decent although they claim that they want to pay well to get better employees (but that is only for sales people - any higher up employees do not get paid enough for the work they do). It is a fun place to work, how can it not be with toys and baby gear!

Cons

They stretch everyone too thin. They try to get one person to do multiple jobs losing focus on their main priorities. You cannot give 100% to two jobs. They are scrambling to save money but in the long run it costs them money. The job ends up taking over your whole life, but they say they don't want you to do that so when you stop they yell at you for not getting all your work done. It is a lose lose.

Pros

I loved working at MBeans and I look back at my time with the company with joy. The management team was empathetic, and deeply cared about every employee as people. There was great camaraderie and a drive to be successful, which I really appreciated.

Cons

Lots of time on your feet - get good shoes!

Pros

Full-access to company material and information. This gives a hands-on approach to making reports, preparing financial statements, and organizing information. You can always ask questions by G-Chat or dial an extension to get a more detailed answer. It is fun to work around toys and being able to purchase them too at a great discount!

Cons

Evaluate yourself on a regular basis and keep track of your daily work flow and job expectations. You won't get a review or feedback which can be frustrating, so make sure to address your concerns as they come up.
