Pros

They have great benefits and the salary is not bad. Give them lots of kudos for that. Also, they are pretty flexible with work-from-home and stuff like that.

Cons

First some Honest Role Descriptions, because so many people working here feel misled at first. "Producer" actually means Project Manager "Project Manager" actually means Secretary "Creative" actually means Creative Technologist (M.M is in the business of selling creative tech solutions, not so much creative). "Designer" actually means... Designer. Bingo! "Creative Director" actually means Sales Rep (their job is to sell tech solutions). Otherwise, your reality at M.M will depend heavily on the accounts you get assigned to. The big accounts are all run like “asset pumps” – a bunch of folks just pumping out "assets" like their job depended on it. And the small accounts all aspire to become just like the big ones. It's all pretty relentless and you should know that coming in because there isn't much of a support system for it all. You'll just have to grind, and the more you can automate yourself the better off you'll be. That's just how it is.

Pros

The team members who are in the weeds

Cons

* Low pay and lack of career progression. Last year I had my first raise in years but it was a VERY small increase that hasn't improved my quality of life unfortunately. This year they pushed the merit increase by half a year. There isn't a doubt among all of colleagues that this is an intentional move to get more folks to quit / save money. * High employee turnover. * Multiple waves of layoffs and departures since 2024. Lack of communication and planning around layoffs leads to us having to figure out solutions on the fly and it honestly does not seem like that leadership cares about how these layoffs are affecting the CURRENT business. * Rotating door of Execs who have no idea what's going on in the ground. We're just treated like numbers on a spreadsheet.
