A good example is the toothache/abscess Draper was developing. No one I've talked to got the significance of the ache and the rotted teeth. They thought it was just a useless plot point. In reality it was symbolic.
I would argue the reason people don't give Mad Men credit is because it isn't very good. I mean unless you like being hit over the head with really obvious symbolism.

But since you are the Mad Men expert, do explain to me the deep symbolism of the dogs fucking...
