Pros

The only positive that came from working at MRHELL is the people that I met and became close friends with. We all bonded over our mutual hatred for MRL.

Cons

It is really hard to know where to begin describing how horrible it was to work for Michael R. Levitt. The cons are literally infinite. He is rude, obnoxious, and disrespectful to his employees on a daily basis. He micromanages to the point that it is virtually impossible to do the job you were hired for. If Michael Levitt could, he would clone himself so that he only had himself to work with, because according to him, he is the only person capable of doing anything. Many employees were terrified to send a simple email for fear of getting called in to his office to dissect every single word used. Then they were chastised for wasting time. If you enjoy crying every day, massive amounts of stress and losing sleep this is the place for you.

Thank you for taking the time to provide feedback. I've responded with the exact same response as the two posts above (direct copy and paste): We take great pride in our people and I am glad you enjoyed working with your co-workers. We're excited about recent hires and how they'll shape the future of the company. I am sorry you've had a negative experience. No one should ever feel unappreciated or disrespected, so I'd be keen to learn about specific examples. This goes against all of what we believe in as a company (and for me personally). While no one is perfect, what you've described is literally in conflict with who we are. Having said that, typically we'd take negative feedback like this very serious and would further explore internally. After all, the goal is to learn and improve. However, the timestamp, similarity, and unscrupulous nature of your post as it relates to the two posts below this seem coordinated and therefore make our efforts here unproductive. Should you want to provide constructive feedback on how we can improve, I would encourage you to reach out directly at any time so we can discuss further. We are sorry MRL was not the right fit for you and we wish you success in your future endeavor. -CEO

Pros

The team at MRL works quickly which allows the Sales team to prospect and be successful at bringing in more sales opportunities. This allows for a very intrapreneurial experience where I am able to manage my time and day based on clients needs and also prospect for future opportunities within clients and finding new ones too. Promotional products is a fast paced, detailed business which never stops which makes the day go by fast. The company growth has been tremendous and it is exciting to see every year how much we are growing and what the future will hold for The MRL Group.

Cons

Making sure that you balance your work life is important to avoid burnout. With growth comes some growing pains but there is a constant dedication to building a great company for all.
