      Pros

      Cake on your birthday and quarterly happy hours.

      Cons

      I worked very hard for MRL for 3 years and was treated poorly. All employees were micromanaged and overly criticized. I was told there was room for growth but was belittled when I asked for a promotion, despite putting so much time and energy into the job and company. I was forced to sign a Non-Compete which the owner told me was completely enforceable (I have heard that former employees have been sued for violating). There was no work/life balance, I could barely take time to go to a doctor's appointment, the time would be taken out of your vacation if you couldn't make it up during the week (i.e. skipping lunch or working late). There was an extremely high turnover rate as the owner was very difficult to work with and set impossible standards. I would highly suggest working elsewhere at all costs.

      Thank you for taking the time to write a review. I can sense deep frustration and anger which unfortunately creates an unbalanced review. Even the best companies in the world will get a critical review, so we will use this review as an opportunity for others to see as we believe in our success and track record & would like to encourage well-suited candidates to apply. First, tenure and performance determine a title or role promotion which is critical to an employee's growth within the organization. Each employee is given a default raise and bonus each year; given our rapid growth a "promotion" typically happens within 24 months. It is concerning to hear you were with the company for 3 years and did not receive a promotion at all. We would never "force" an employee to do anything, keeping in mind we are an at-will company and it is a choice to work here. I apologize if there was any confusion but we would never "force" an employee to sign a Non-Compete. We do maintain an open-door policy during the interview process, onboarding, and through the entirety of an employees career at MRL. Having these types of two-way conversations help to bring clarity to a discussion, question, or concern. Employees get a fair amount of PTO, paid Holidays, and flex-time. With over 85% of the company remote and the work/life balance given, it is almost impossible to use up all of your time . Our employees do work very hard and we take great pride in our people which is also why we invest heavily into personal time for our team. It is clear you endured some negative experiences in your time here and for that I apologize. We are an transparent & authentic culture which we recognize is not a fit for everyone. We are building a winning business and we understand that as we grow some of our TEAM members may not continue with us on this journey.

      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

      If you like to be micromanaged and ripped apart to your core this is the job for you!

      Pros

      The only fleck of a pro from working here is leaving with great long term friends. You get to bond over your mutual hatred for your job.

      Cons

      I have no idea where to even start here because the list is actually never ending. Michael R. Levitt likes to make his employees feel like their the size of a grain of salt. Can't figure out the backwards format of email writing and formulas? Great you will be called in for a first class soul destroying session courtesy of MRL himself. There is so much micro management from Michael that you are unable to do even an ounce of your job without cringing every minute with fear. The environment is entirely hostile, there is no sense of joy here and it is visible on every employees miserable face. The way that they treat their vendors is nothing short of disgusting on top of it all, I am not sure where the holier than thou entitlement came from but someone needs a hard reality check.
