Getting an MBA after 2-4 years of work, should I tell the hiring company?

I will be graduating this May with a BS in mechanical engineering. I plan to get 2-4 years of work experience and then go back to school for an MBA. If I were to tell this to hiring companies, would they be less likely to want to hire me? I've already taken the GMAT and scored a 660, which should be high enough to get me into one of the top 50 MBA programs in the U.S.

Thank you in advance for the assistance!

Update:

I've read that most of the upper level MBA programs and many companies want to see that you had some experience before getting an MBA. At any rate, I'm past the point of no return and need to get a job at this point.

    If you need the 2-4 years of work for financial reasons then I understand, but why not get the MBA right after you graduate? You'd be COMPLETELY done school and you would probably get a better job with a higher salary right out of school.
