During my time there before being let go unceremoniously, it was pretty enjoyable for most part.  The managers and bosses in general were very nice and approachable.  Most of the time they did give you pointers on how to do certain tasks, however they do let you go off on your own expecting you to fully grasp the idea of how to do your job.  If you're not a people person, this will be particularly difficult.  To an extent, making mistakes is a normal thing here but consistent mistakes (a lot of which really does confuse even some of the longer lasting employees here due to inconsistent backlogging on old servers) makes it almost impossible to figure out how things properly work.  Being short staffed for certain roles, forcing you to inherit their role without proper training is a normal thing in the office areas too, which in turn, if you're struggling with your own personal duties, adds up pretty quick.  If your teammates are assigned to help you out, you can tell right away that they probably are going to dread it because of the amount of projects that are stacking up on their plates too.  Also if you're not a fan of the idea a condescending sales force is more or less, running the show or dictating where current or future projects will go, this place isn't the place for you.  Often times crucial staff members needed for meetings or projects are NOWHERE to be found which can be VERY frustrating for organized staff members.

LASTLY, the thing that I would recommended if you do get hired and decided to read this review, I'd kindly suggest that you assert yourself as the person that will ALWAYS ask questions rather than "hoping" that someone will ask your question for you to avoid embarrassment.  You need to ask for help when you know you need it however long it'll take you to figure out your role better, otherwise the next thing you know, you'll be called into your managers office with little to no warning and be let go before the week finishes.

All in all, as I said above, the people there are nice and you do get paid really well there, but there are obviously red flags there that you should try to not get caught up on.  Just focus on your own work and be kind and helpful to others and you will do okay.

A place that says it is trying to make changes, but they are far from it. MDI under pays its supervisors for the amount of work and time they spend there. MDI's benefits package is one of the weakest I have seen in a long time. This place is so unorganized and there is truly no leadership what so ever. There sales team runs the plant which should never be the case when running a manaufacturing environment, and the current owner has not a clue of what is going on in her own house that she is obvilious to see what is happening throughout the company.

This job is one of the worst experiences you can have with an employer. Management are tyrants who do not have the necessary skills to do their job. They expect long hours and hard work with minimal pay. The benefits are a joke and training is next to non-existent. People are constantly leaving even after spending numerous years with the company. Most of the good employees are gone and the ones that are left are looking to leave.

I’ve been with the company for less than a year, and I can honestly say it’s been a fantastic experience so far. From day one, I’ve felt welcomed and supported by both my leader and the owner — they’re approachable, encouraging, and truly care about the team.
The work environment is positive and collaborative, with everyone willing to pitch in and help each other out. It really feels like a team here, which makes coming to work enjoyable.
Overall, I’m really happy to be part of this team!

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Typical day was ok, just never knew if you had a job the next day.  Very unstable company

In areas they try to improve  - they dont know how to fix and in the other areas they dont bother even trying.  Management is definitely undereducated. Lots of turnover.  They have meetings to show how much they are making - and its barely enough to survive - pretty unmotivating.  Why even have the meeting.  Oh yeah - work floor in summer is hot as heck, but mgt is nice and cool in the AC.

The coworkers were good people and very friendly, 
Most of the supervisors were good. 

The shipping supervisor is just a lap dog and yes man for the middle management

Sales runs the place and the owners have no clue what is going on any more.

Every thing is micromanaged by the higher ups
Lie about hiring in temporary employees

The overall work environment! The people!

This was one of the most underpaid jobs I’ve had too much work not enough pay everything they use is old and out dated supervisor is clueless on how to manage what a mess. The work hours suck no raises it can be very stressful I don’t recommend anyone working as a warehouse worker
