Pros

You will meet some great people. The keyword here is "some".

Cons

This company is horrible and I am not sure where to start... Let's start with the work. This company will work you like a slave; you will be expected to stay past 5 PM and you will be looked down upon if you leave before 6 PM. If you leave before 6 PM often then that will affect your year-end bonus even if you finish all your work on time. You will be dumped tons of work without proper training, the phrase upper management often use is "sink or swim". That being said, the upper management doesn't care about their employees. Regardless of your workload, they will dump more onto you and expect you to finish everything. All the benefits are just not worth it compare to what you will experience at the company. Now onto culture, there is NO work-life balance. In addition to the abysmal hours, office politics and favoritism runs rampant in the work-place. Because so many employees are family members or friends referred by other employees, nepotism is an integral part of the company. Moving up is nearly impossible because upper management loves to hire from the outside. Other people can do less work than you but still rewarded better than you. If you ever feel like someone doesn't like you then you are probably correct. Upper management has turned bottom levels into a dog-eat-dog world where employees fight amongst themselves. In conclusion, this company is a venus fly trap and it will make you very very unhappy. Much like the company's products, MerchSource is nothing but a bad experience wrapped up in pretty packaging.

Pros

Nice people Decent culture Close to Irvine spectrum center

Cons

They let employees go here regularly! Don’t expect to work here long. Employees like to lie here about the smallest things. Distrustful company. Very poor leadership. Cheap company. Hard work little pay. Very small business. Entitled employees. Ego driven employees. Get on one the higher ups bad size, the entire office will dislike you. Hard work gets you no where here, you have to work the room to stay on the job.
