Honestly this is the worst workplace culture I’ve ever worked in. They are EXTREMELY old fashioned to the point where they value you sitting in an office more than your personal life. If you're a parent, you will be judged by those without kids and management will get upset when you have unexpected things come up with your children. They also do not have paid maternity leave outside of the disability leave. So, it does not seem like they want their employees to have kids at all. Another fault to their workplace culture is that human resources is practically non-existent unless there is a problem. HR does not proactively make efforts to change their employee's experiences, evident by the handbook that is over 10 years old. 

Management style is also old-fashioned. This is a local TN company, and they run it as such. Promotions are given based on WHO you know and not WHAT you know. So, if you know higher ups on a personal level, you’ve got a golden ticket. If not, you’re disposable to them.

They now have a "work from work" campaign, basically promoting a culture where you will not be able to work remotely (even though a bunch of their employees are already remote workers). 

They also promote a culture where politics and business do mix. They tend to lean right and promote a culture where employees who have other beliefs are out of place. 

Workplace: The Workplace culture is fantastic. The people from entry level to management is what makes this company so great to work for. Cooperate employees are also super friendly and helpful.

     Growth Opportunities: Opportunities are there for achievers. This is a non-union company, so seniority isn't weighted as high as hard work and dedication. Although, the growth could feel obscure to some people. 

     Management: They have an open-door policy and are very easy to work with. You get a feeling that people really care about you here. Anytime I have voiced my concerns, it has been met with open ears. 

     Pay/Bonus: The pay falls average to below average compared to other companies. However, I have worked for plenty of other companies, and NONE have compared to the workplace culture and people that ABG has.

     Vaca/Time off: The amount of vacation days allotted could be better. It's average/ below average compared to other companies. However, it increases depending on how many years you have been with the company. Personal(unpaid) days are given as well. 


Some time after I was hired, it seemed like the manager changed the expectations for the role and expected me to do more right away. I feel like this ultimately led to the reason why I was let go even though the other people I worked with besides my manager were pleased with my work. All the managers and directors  in the company seem to micromanage everyone and expect a lot with 0 training. And they want to know what tasks you are doing at all times. I feel like I was set up to fail and I was let go after a few months at the job even when I worked so hard to learn my job but the manager didn’t care. On top of that they barely paid me when I have a bachelors degree and have almost 2 years of previous work experience and come to the office every single day even though my manager worked remote in another state. Over all they are not flexible and don’t allow WFH even if you are an office employee. I had to drive 40 miles one way just to get to work and spent hundreds of dollars a month on gas and I don’t feel like I was appreciate for that. My manager literally worked remote in another state so I don’t even see the point of me going to the office. Over all I would not work here if you do not want to be micromanaged because they expect you to work like a robot and be a mind reader. 

Let's see.....
>  The core group has been there for 10+ years.  However, they have trouble retaining new CSR's
>  With the exception of a couple of people, this is among the most unfriendly group of individuals I've ever met.  It took them 2 weeks to acknowledge a simple "Good Morning" with a grunt.
>  The CSR's are a very unhappy lot.  They will openly ridicule the company, the management and the clients...in front of their own Senior Management.  Nothing is ever done.  Guess senior management  likes having the inmates running the asylum.
>  There is a complete lack of training.  You will be given enough information to do the job, but not enough to be successful at doing the job.  Basically, you are set-up to fail.
>  Everyone is expected to do 3-4 jobs.  If they do not achieve their aggressive metrics, they will be written up
>  For every sick day you take, you will be given 1 demerit. You can be written-up or terminated if you get anything over 1 demerit in a month.  As an FYI...everyone comes to work sick (i.e. - flu, stomach bug, fevers, etc) since no one wants to earn a demerit.
>  5PM is when you can clock out.  If you leave at 4:59 PM, you can be written up and possibly terminated if you do it too much.  I know this sounds crazy, but it's the truth!!!!

This company is excellent to work for. The degree of opportunity to influence change, pick up new skills, collaborate with peers from across North America, and advance in the company is tremendous. Mentorship, though informal, is available to anyone. The company is filled with brilliant people who you can call on for advice or to collaborate. 

I would characterize the workplace culture as fast-paced, high energy, adaptive/innovative, customer experience focused with an equal emphasis on employee experience, and close-knit. 

The hardest part of the job is self-leadership. Being such as large company often requires a large volume of collaboration calls and vast amounts of information coming at you. You must be able to self-lead, meaning setting boundaries and allowing yourself to decompress so that you can be at your most productive. 

The best part of my job is being able to constantly acquire new knowledge and skills, working with brilliant people who advance my thinking, and being able to influence the process decisions at my local level. I feel very fulfilled in my job.

This is not a great workplace. There is a lot of micromanagement within departments and because of this, employees spend a lot of time tracking and logging their work.  While they are open to hiring less experienced workers, they do not provide support for professional growth, you won't feel well equipped for your job, and pay raises are infrequent. The turnover rate is extremely high, which means you will often work alongside many new hires who may not be able to assist you or may be unfamiliar with their roles. Additionally, communication between departments is very disorganized, resulting in a considerable amount of wasted time during the workday due to a lack of effective communication.

Expect to be available at any moment or your work efficiency will be immediately questioned. Paid time off (PTO) and out-of-office statuses are not respected, as work will be assigned and there are attempts to contact you while you are unavailable.

American Bath Group is a great place to be in sales if you’re looking for solid earning potential, career growth, and strong leadership. A typical day is fast-paced and full of opportunities to build relationships, solve customer needs, and close deals. You’ll learn a lot about the industry, how to manage long sales cycles, and the importance of working cross-functionally with different teams.

Management is supportive and hands-off when needed, giving salespeople a lot of autonomy while still providing guidance when it counts. The workplace culture is family-like—everyone is willing to help each other out, and there’s a real sense of teamwork and camaraderie. The hardest part of the job? Dealing with production and quality challenges when the plants are at full capacity, but the warranty team has made huge improvements to help during those times. The most enjoyable part? Closing deals, building strong customer relationships, and working with a team that feels like family while pushing for success.

A typical day started early and ended late as I am a dedicated worker, competatively establishing new business, servicing and maintainig established customers, focusing on their needs with constant face to face visits and correspondence.
I have been in sales for many years in a local environment.  The most recent job allowed for travel throughout the Pacific Northwest territory, driving sales growth.  I learned a great deal about maintaining customers, sales tools, project management, strategic planning, business development, prospecting and working independently.  
Management entrusts me to handle the needs of the customers in the PNW, as I have a proven background that I am a responsible, competent, disciplined, competitive, independent worker.  
The hardest part of the job was to turn off my work day.  I am very driven and continually seek success.  
I am very much a people person.  As so, I very much enjoy meeting new people and establishing long lasting relationships.

A positive and inviting culture is one of the best things about ABG.   The emphasis on family time and self-care are greatly appreciated, especially by employees, such as myself, with large families.   I hope this continues.  Opportunities for growth and career advancement are key and provide a sense of job security, adding a much-needed piece of mind these days.  No two days are the same and each day presents new challenges and opportunities to learn and grow as an employee.  Management's open-door policy allows for face-to -face real time conferences for swift resolutions.  The hardest part of the job is logging off for the day because I enjoy what I do so much, it rarely feels like work.  The best part of my job is providing that above and beyond service to our customer's and ensuring them the best possible experience with our company and our products,

Working at Aquatic was nothing but a huge disappointment. Come to find out, the manager had lied to me multiple times throughout the interview. Of course, it goes without saying that she wouldn’t tell anyone that she hires her son’s friends to work there, or that she’ll defend the leads and supervisor if you complain about them. The job itself was great, and I enjoyed working with the other regular employees. But, their management is a huge problem. It’s not something you can easily overlook.
This company is all about micromanaging their employees. The management would talk down to their employees, yet demand respect at the same time. I felt like I was in elementary school all over again.
Then, to make matters worse, they withheld my final paycheck. It’s been over 4 weeks since I’ve worked there, and I still haven’t received my paycheck. 
Do yourself a huge favor and stay away from this company.
