Pros

none - if I could rate 0 stars, I would.

Cons

- The one positive review is fake, they do that to try to hide negative comments. - Pay is a joke. - They guarantee multiple raises during your interview, they never come. - They don't care about you unless you are management. - Don't expect to advance in your career. - Expect to be dropped without any prior violations or anything. It's a revolving door in that place. But guess what, the more people they drop, the more money they save so they honestly don't care about you. - They try to act like it is a fun and sociable environment. It's not. You can't talk while you're working. They plan "fun" activities but be prepared to do them off the clock. - They don't care about you, they care about money. - Get sick more than 4 times in a whole year? There goes your vacation days. - HR is a joke. - The "VP" is a joke. - Read everyone else's cons - they are SPOT ON.

Poor Place to Work

Pros

Lunch Breaks, Polished work environment- for what it's worth..

Cons

Management lacked the ability to communicate, lacked the ability to manage projects, lacked understanding, and were beyond willing to push their responsibilities onto their employees. They were also constantly paranoid about what their hardworking and innovative employees were doing on the clock. The company presents a false image of being family oriented and understanding but at the end of the day they simply do not care about their employees. Also there seems to he no room to actually advance in the company no matter how educated you are. It is pretty frustrating taking orders from people who know less than you do about the applications and programs you are working with. Management has meetings weekly yet seems to be completely disorganized. Everything at this company is a paradox and it is a miracle they can turn a profit.

Pros

The only pro to working for MR Direct was a basic flexibility with time...which I did not require.

Cons

-Poor management permeates everything at MR Direct. Managers have no clue what is going on at any given time. The operation at MR Direct is Mickey Mouse at best. -Managers would rather socialize than do any work. -Socializing is stressed yet they WILL find social reasons to terminate employees. -Common decency is missing from MR Direct and a basic lack of respect. -I applied to an internal position and 3 months later never heard a word regarding the scheduling of an interview or the status of my application. Positions RARELY open up with MR Direct. If you are looking long term just do yourself a favor and stay away from this company. -Be prepared to create processes and guess a lot because there is no on-boarding process and nothing in place to help new employees learn the ropes. Information is scattered and incorrect. -Rules change on a daily basis regarding practically everything. Management here is like a valley girl attempting to juggle an advanced economics class. -I hope you like cliques and revolving doors. -HR Policies are rather ridiculous. The CEO of the company stated we had flex time. What they really mean is that if you need the time off that's fine but after four days we are taking your vacation time away from you. -Knee jerk reactions are the flavor of the day. Be prepared to have managers knee jerking regarding the trivial. -Pay rates are well below industry standards.
