Pros

The people under management.

Cons

The promises that were made to persuade me to join this company were never kept!!! I now regret that I didn't trust my initial instincts especially after reading the accurate reviews of this company. I did address my concern with my hiring manager and even the exec leadership who assured me that the reviews were inaccurate and also assured me that this is the company for me. I sadly bought the rhetoric. This company is known for the misogynistic attitude driven by egos.. My view only, is the women in IT were making significant improvements by implementing policies, process and procedures and there were road blocks put into place by male peers and these road blocks were supported by the new management Within the last month, 5 women in IT have resigned or have been made redundant. There is very little understanding of people management within this company or they choose not to understand. HR is so afraid by the executives their hands are tied when it comes to implementing reform. The company are skilled at lying to auditors in order to make sure make all the 'tick boxes' are 'ticked' they need to pass audits and maintain their standing with UPS and Healthcare. This leads to a constant 'fight or flight' culture!!! With highly skilled staff being dismissed If you don't adhere to this warped culture. Another interesting fact is: within the year, 70% of all new hires left the company within the first 3 months they started. This is a known statistic within this company. T Please read the reviews of others on this site we all can't be wrong or disgruntled. Don't sell your soul for this company or stay for the paycheck it is not worth your sanity.

Pros

Full company paid medical insurance after 30 days. I can't think of any other pro at all unless you count free coffee.

Cons

If you want a life, don't work here. I feel sorry for anyone not in upper management. Forget having actual working hours you are expected to be ready and able to work 24/7 but NOT with a salary to match. I have worked for large corporations before but this is by far the worst experience. Don't believe what you are told during the interview process, you are basically a cog in their machine and are given very little guidance. Make sure you are the right size and shape cog because if you are different in any way you are going to have a hard time. Anything negotiated before hire and agreed to by the company will disappear once you are hired. Some people work for a living and some people live for their work. Be ready to live only for work, cower to upper management like the other lowly workers and give up any thought of having time for your family.

Pros

There is not a single pro about this current day sweatshop.

Cons

Executive management has created a very toxic work culture and shows a disdain for their employees. Low morale and scared employees. There are executive members who have anger management issues. I witnessed management bragged about price gouging clinical trials. In addition, they have an elitist attitude and are a poor example. A do as I say and not as I do attitude. Turn over is astronomical. I saw several new employees leave before two weeks passed. H.R. is a joke and clueless too. If you are a professional seeking a company offering the basic level of professional respect and courtesy, then Marken is not the place for you. This is a sweat shop in today’s corporate America.
