Pros

Great benefits. Profit Sharing, Health Insurance, Vacations and 401K Plan. There a lot of nice people and it's a fun place to work.

Cons

Wages are stagnant, heavy micro management. Very hard to move from department to department to get better opportunities and training.

Politics and Crony Management

Pros

Beautiful building and most of the people are terrific. The "potential" is wonderful, but falls short.

Cons

People are promoted into positions for which they are not suited because of crony management. The senior level of management is comprised of people who've been with MKI for decades, so they are so mired in old-school conquer and control management versus actual leadership that inspires and rewards based on genuine merit and solid performance. The "managers" are so busy being "bosses" that they forget or have no clue about how to be leaders. Great people have left because they are just stuck and see no future because of the wall of old-timers that are hiring their pals and keeping good and highly qualified personnel from advancing. It is so very sad. Mary Kay Ash is spinning in her grave.
