M+R reviews about "pay"

- The best people in the industry. Smart, kind, honest, genuine. - Amazing causes and clients. - Strong processes and structure. - Excellent opportunities for advancement if you're good at your job. - Great benefits, good pay that gets even better if you succeed. Strong emphasis on honest feedback at all levels and improved processes mean that challenges get addressed head on. There are multiple paths for all staff to share their opinions about how the company can improve. Anonymous questions and concerns submitted to senior staff are openly discussed on weekly staff calls. Processes to support staff especially at the junior level mean you will get substantial training and coaching. Compensation is very fair. Junior staff have received higher bonuses during years where profits were exceptional.

Decent Pay, good clients, good teammates

- The people. People you'll work with are kind, caring, good-hearted folks. - Truly a place where everyone is rooting for each other and where you're on the same team. There's very little "I" and a lot of "we." People will help you out just because they can. - The work is big and important. You'll feel like you're making a difference every day you work here and the orgs you work with are some of the best in the world at what they do. - Great culture around transparent feedback. There's a steep learning curve but if you want to grow there is likely opportunity for you to do that. - Opportunities to innovate in the field—from interesting experiments to creating a new field of practice. In many ways it has the best of both worlds—the innovation culture of a startup and the infrastructure of a more established business. - Nice perks like professional development scholarships, free lunch Fridays, company outings, etc.

Helping out on some progressive clients felt nice.

- Union - Pay and PTO are good - Some good people - Work can be interesting

I felt the need to weigh in because the reviews for M+R are not matching up with my experience at all. There are a lot of pros to working at M+R: -- There is a union! Unions are great, and the union at M+R just secured an incredible new contract. The union also shifts the dynamic in the workplace so your coworkers are your comrades instead of your competition. -- The pay is good and competitive with similar agencies, thanks to the new contract. There is pay transparency and a no-negotiation policy, so you never have to wonder if you are being underpaid. -- There is a clearly laid-out pathway to promotion, and multiple chances per year to be promoted. Lots of senior management are folks who started as associates and moved up, so it's not hard to see yourself moving up. (This may vary based on the area you work in though.) -- Good benefits, including lots of paid time off, including time that is explicitly for mental health. -- You can work from an office, work from home, or do both. M+R will also compensate you for things like your internet bill and allow you to expense office supplies, lunches, etc., when you work from home. -- THE PEOPLE! The people are great. M+R has a top-notch staff of smart, creative people who want to make the world a better place. -- The work is fun, fulfilling, creative, and challenging. You will not be bored. You will stretch and grow. -- Management is honestly good, particularly compared to other workplaces I've experienced. They are thoughtful about feedback. There are a lot of different types of leadership at M+R, including some people who are truly trailblazing with the compassionate way they lead, and I feel supported by management. When I have had any issues, they have been proactively and quickly resolved, and I honestly do think most of the people in management want everyone to be successful and feel valued and happy. -- They are seriously trying to be more inclusive and equitable both in their work and their own operations. It's an ongoing conversation. No workplace is perfect, and there is still room to do better, but they are still trying and being held accountable by staff to show progress whereas most workplaces maybe had a workshop in 2020 and then crossed it off their list. The have a new senior leader solely dedicated to moving the needle for racial justice & equity, and she is great! -- I feel appreciated, nearly every day. There is a Slack channel dedicated to recognizing your colleagues for great work, and it brightens my day when someone sees my efforts. I came from an environment where I didn't get much feedback unless it was negative, so this is one of my favorite parts of working for M+R. I rarely have to wonder how I'm doing, because people tell me. I have never been part of a workplace where colleagues email your direct supervisor just tell them that you did something awesome, and cc you on it, so you know how valued you are. It is a wonderful thing to be seen, and an even more wonderful thing for people to see you AND lift you up in front of the people who can promote you. -- M+R has really cultivated a fun, quirky, progressive workplace culture and I just like signing onto work in the morning, I enjoy and appreciate the people I work for, and it's one of the best places I have worked. I read the negative reviews before accepting the job offer from M+R and was nervous about it. What if they were right?! But if you are here right now and unsure after reading some of these reviews, rest assured that it is worth taking the plunge. Accept the offer, and judge for yourself. You may find, as I did, that you love this job and this workplace.

This is probably my favorite company that I've worked for. Everyone in our office was so incredibly friendly and supportive. My supervisor listened to my goals and how I wanted to grow as a professional and frequently assigned me to tasks along those lines. The skills I honed here made me a shoe-in for my next job. My hours only very rarely went above 40/week, and they also have the best insurance I've ever had.
