A Typical Day at Work:
My day typically involves managing emails, reviewing and handling contracts, and catching up with employees and managers. These interactions help me stay in tune with the ongoing needs and concerns within the organization.

What I Learned:
I’ve gained valuable skills in active listening, showing empathy, and understanding others’ needs. I’ve also learned the importance of finding solutions or connecting employees to the right resources, even in challenging situations.

Management:
Management tends to be unsupportive, primarily because they are overwhelmed themselves. There’s a noticeable lack of focus on employee well-being and professional development, which affects overall morale.

Workplace Culture:
The culture is heavily driven by overwork and cost-saving measures, leading to understaffing and burnout. This environment makes it difficult to prioritize employee development or well-being initiatives.

The Hardest Part of the Job:
Handling layoffs and supporting the remaining employees without adequate resources is the most challenging part. It’s tough to address their concerns when the tools and support needed to do so effectively are missing.

The Most Enjoyable Part of the Job:
Catching up with colleagues and learning from their experiences has been a bright spot. These connections provide inspiration and foster a sense of camaraderie amidst the challenges.



This company doesn't care about the people.  You kill yourself to get things done and management will wait until they have a moment to rip you apart.  Let's not forget that Marken is selfish with bonuses and raises.
 Management hates when you take time off and the company only allows a 30 min lunch(Not to mention, no lunchroom).  Marken makes one person the expert on a certain topic, what happens when that person is out or quits? The entire management team is new and they know nothing about the company.  These are the same people who refuse to promote the people that know whats going on.  The company is constantly short staffed and management could care less.  The team is pretty good and we try our best to make each other happy.  There are a lot of really strong players in the company but management ensures that they ruin any happiness in the office. How would you like to work for a company where you feel used and they take away the holiday party and the bonus at the end of the year?

Management and employees are toxic and gossips on the latest situations in the office. Most management are promoted out of favoritism and they have NO IDEA what they are doing hence why every department is falling apart. There is no structure in any department. If your doing your job right they just load you up with more and more work meanwhile there are people getting paid more to do nothing. Management only cares for individuals who are apart of their clique. Over all a terrible place to work out with no way to move up or raises unless ur apart of the managements clique. There is no proper training as everyone will attempt to teach differently, even the supervisor trains the new employees the wrong way. Change the upper management and the gossiping coworkers and this place can actually flourish. 

What is the best part of working at the company?
There isn't one. It is the single most toxic work environment you can imagine, and everyone there except the most executive leadership would agree.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The executive leadership. They have no idea what they are doing, and to make up for their incompetence and ignorance they push their employees to the point of breaking, and then fire them when they can't complete their impossible tasks. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Toxic. Toxic. Toxic. Do not work here.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Raging fires all around you (caused by poor leadership decisions), with no tools, processes, or resources to put them out, and unforgiving, unrealistic expectations to put them all out all the while.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Staying in tune with new medical research and developments.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
No Vacations, No HR Team available 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Unorganized folk who pass their responsibility on to another. No PPE; management gets mad and vindictive if you request time off or take a vacation. Overnight only I was there and lifting 150 to 200 lb packages because no one else showed up for work.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Overworked and underpaid; management lies and there is only nepotism within. Your work ethic means nothing and you will be ovelooked for every advancement.

The company was okay, management didn't work with you at all. They were very quick to point out your flaws, but not give you constructive criticism on how to improve. Management is very unprofessional and bullies and tries to intimate employees. Not a good place to work overall. Horrible maternity leave policy, the company clearly doesn't value people with children. HR doesn't do a good job at explaining policies, I honestly believe it's because they don't understand the policies themselves. Communication between employee and management is not open and honest, it is not a team oriented company. Honestly, it's sink or swim.

Work life balance is non-existent.during the time I was there this place was the absolute worst. I've worked a number of customer service jobs, all different, but still customer service is customer service. The work environment here was very hostile and messy to say the least. At the time, the workload per employee was ridiculously overwhelming. The company was understaffed due to covid and the turnover rate of employees. It was an absolute mess, and from what I hear still is. "Grown" people work here, but you wouldn't know it. There is no organization, no formal training of any kind. You have to constantly nag and chase other departments around to get them to do THEIR job so you can do your job. Management is a joke. Run from this place. 

Management does not check on employees,  only the ones that aren't in their clique.  There is favoritism shown all the time.  Human Resources has received complaint after complaint and they do nothing until.they lose good employees.  There is no training provided.  The EC is probably lied to everyday about what truly goes on here.  This place is a joke, employees steal time but if youre in good with management,  don't worry about it. 
There is no professionalism because everyone talks about everyone.  Change the current management, hire diverse backgrounds,  and listen to people who know the job.  Management does not know the operation because they don't walk the floor nor do they know their team.  


I have been employed at many jobs. And no job is perfect. But Marken is the only place I’ve worked that the only reason I came  to work is to keep my health insurance. Employees are not all treated the same, you don’t receive pay increases based off your performance, the same people are promoted, and there are cliques. If you want to succeed at marken become part of the cliques.  

So if you plan on working at marken all you need to do is hang with your supervisor. Get your supervisor coffee or tea and  laugh at their jokes. you  don’t even have to know your job to be successful here just nod your head and go google the answer. Go in with the attitude of not being a hard worker but find the most popular group and blend in.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Opportunity for advancement is not as difficult if your work speaks for itself

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
VQ QA is not easy to work for and can be condescending. If you don't do exactly what she wants, when she wants, and how she plots to identify a way to get you terminated. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Toxic and lacks integrity with people trying to figure out what Quality really is

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Putting it out fires and arguing with insubordinate employees
