MRL Promotions reviews about "manager"

This position is very fast paced and very detail oriented. You will have to work hard to succeed.

This was not a healthy establishment to work at and I would not suggest working here.I love the promotional products industry but my time at mrl promotions was unbearable. If you like to be micro-managed and constantly put down by a tyrant this is the perfect position for you. Every employee is expected to copy the owner of the company, Mr Levitt, on all emails and were critiqued often. Mr Levitt is very involved and had zero trust in any of his employees which is why he would expect everyone to copy him on the emails. A compliment was far and few between. There is no real HR position so there is no proper person to report concerns and issues to. You will be looked down upon and told to "toughen up" if you chose to speak up. You are also shunned for taking any paid time off. Mr Levitt would preach positivity yet consistently put his employees down, point fingers and never have the employees backs. It was like walking on eggshells every single day around Mr Levitt. The office culture was purely toxic brought on entirely by Mr Levitt. Account managers were pinned against each other by Mr Levitt often creating a divide amongst teammates. There were zero incentives or bonuses offered. You can give it your all and the hard work would still will not be acknowledged. Expect to put in a lot extra hours and not be properly compensated. There is absolutely zero flexibility in working from home because Mr Levitt does not trust his employees. Simply put, Mr Levitt is a big bully and his victims are his employees. Due to all of these issues this company has an extremely alarming turn over rate. In my time there I witnessed dozens of employees quit because they could not take it any longer. The lifespan for an account manager position is roughly 3 months. There was no movement within the position because so many people quit. There is absolutely NO GROWTH within this company. Do not expect anything more than the bare minimum yearly raise. My current employment has taught me that a true leader encourages their employees and makes them feel empowered and supported. I am posting this in hopes it can inform those who do not want to suffer in an extremely toxic work environment.

If you are reading this, then you will probably be reading all the other reviews before this. All the ones that are REAL, and not written by the owner or a forced review by a current employee (the only reviews that are actually 4 or 5 stars)…the real ones are not written by disgruntled employees or ppl out to get the owner, they are in fact true statements. Working at MRL, was unhealthy and not normal. Save yourself the energy and healing, and do not work here. They may sell you the dream, but it is never going to happen. The owner is a micro manager, manipulative and I’ve watched him have no loyalty to his employees. He unfortunately only follows the guidance of the office manager but he doesn’t know most people leave the company because of the office manager. She gossips about every person in the office and shares very personal details to other coworkers. She pretends she’s there to help you and has your back, but she only uses your situation to her advantage. I wish I could say the cons of the office was the job itself, but it wasn’t. I love my job. The flaws are the people the owner hires and until he opens his eyes, it will always be toxic.

Upon hiring you'll be told you'll take a hit to your EGO. Heavily micro- managed to the point - emails need to be checked prior to being sent. Emails often are edited if same verbiage isn't shared with management No time to learn the role, thrown in Executive management - has know it all attitude - does not trust in team to complete their respective responsibilities. Unrealistic expectations for time management/ and white glove service required for every account - with extremely heavy work load Work load mis-managed. Everything becomes a problem by executive management - loss of focus on true issues that require attention. Unnecessary fire drills All team member's aren't held to the same standard. No consequences for employee's who continually do not follow procedure, and disrupt the work flow process on a day in and out basis Long meetings without an resolve Multiple managers, all hands in the pot to micro manage other employees Loss of visibility - do not have the proper tools to complete scope of the job responsibilities Repetitive conversations with management with suggestions to improve time to complete job, efficiency. Advised will be supported, and changes will transpire. Suggestions are left open ended- and stay on a list to " look into" for years
