First it starts from the top to the bottom.  The main issue is this mess was created by her.  Over half of the "Leadership" that is placed here is know as "La Familia"  These people are related and or married into it. "La Familia" is a group of people That helped her put into position she is in now.  And for that she is now their pocket.  La Familia is run by one guy.  If he doesn't like you or a family member of his complains about you.  Your career is over before even it starts or in some way get fired.  If he doesn't like what the company is doing then he will complain to her and get it change back.  The company had to change the company rules about family members in leadership roll because of this got so bad.

Work Life Balance- Don't even think about it.  Like I said you'll work for 50-60 weekly for years. If your salary this is where they really rob you.  Bonuses is ok but not enough to cover the hours you put in. That's not including working on a Saturday if the company is behind schedule which is all the time. At the end of the month plan on staying 12-14 hours that day.  And I'm working a Saturday this week.

Culture-As far I'm concerned regular employees are very well taken care often the point of spoiled.  Unfortunately I can't speak as for the Team Leads and above.  Over worked never appreciated in every away.  Also please explain why a employee gets fired for a big company violation get brought back?  All credibility was lost once that was done.

Pay- Is joke how do justify paying a employee who has under performed for years and pay him the same as a employee that over achieved.  Where is the desire to want to improve if the pay is the for a underperformer. When you have a regular employee making more then someone in Leadership then that's a huge problem.

Opportunity- None,  even if your numbers prove it. Its not what you do. its who you know. "La Familia."

Senior Management- You are to blame by letting this culture continue. You continue to let the Supervisor do what ever they what to suit their needs and not company's.  Supervisors talk a lot about teamwork in the 9am and 11am meetings but at the end of the day your only looking out for yourselves.  Some supervisors lack the courage to say anything (You know who you are.) All of you should be relived of your duties.  You embarrass me. You embarrass yourselves.

I worked for American Leather for a couple years. In those 2 years it seemed that the only thing this company cared about was the numbers, as a production based company you’d think that quality would be prioritized over anything but it’s the opposite, warehouse management only cares about numbers, upper management is the same way numbers above anything else. The culture seems very old here, everyone is set in their ways and as soon as you suggest something new or do things a new way you’re seen as a threat to the wellness of the company, so if you’re outspoken maybe this isn’t the place for you. Inventory and warehouse equipment is never up to par and is continuously putting some departments behind, the ideal of “if it ain’t broke don’t fix it” plagues this company and will be it’s downfall one day, if their lack of care for quality doesn’t do it first. Depending on what department you’re in you’ll be forced into 50+ hour weeks with only Sunday’s off. Which isn’t always a bad thing but you’ll be rewarded eventually with a poor “Employee appreciation day” maybe you’ll get lucky and get ice cream or a bag of popcorn for all your hard work you put in. In my personal opinion this company is great for the money it lets you bring in, but is it really worth the stress? 

Every morning I would run reports based on ORACLE requirements as entered my sales team.
Develop forecast to suppliers to endure products and sub assemblies arrived on time, reduce amount of inventory carried in warehouse.
Developed relationships with suppliers to keep a certain amount of finished product on hand at their facility while maintaining production so that we are able to call for shipments immediately with little to no lead time. Combined several sub assemblies into one supplier who oversaw all other suppliers and sent us the completed product, reducing the amount of suppliers

It is a great company and thankful for all the opportunities it was a great experience but looking forward to a new future. I was given the opportunity to learn management skills. started from a truck loader promoted to assistant supervisor in the shipping department. two years later I was promoted to Receiving Supervisor.

I have been here for 8 years, I have grown a lot and managers are very flexible with my schedule. It has great benefits. My favorite thing here is the gym and personal trainers. Also they offer Scholarships to our children that are going to college. The two-week shutdown is something I like because it allows me to plan for travel. 

I worked for American Leather since 2019 , and i really liked the environment the team work with my coworkers , the support  and communication honestly great company to work for they have great benefits , fun activities and treat everyone with respect they care for every employee and that's something i really enjoyed while working for them i sure will miss this great company.


I liked the benefits provided during my time here. The hours were good. It was mostly a full time position with some over time. I got along well with co-workers. My only concern is some of the supervising staff played favorites, especially in recruiting family members and giving special favors to them.

I had horrible managers in the creative department. Worked me like a dog. The creative department didn’t have a clear direction and caused lots of late nights fixing bad management errors. They treat designers like they’re replaceable all the time. Turn around is high in that department. To bad it’s not nice like the rest of the company.

It's a very good company, it has very good benefits starting after 30 days, the pay it's good and bonus every month. Management and supervisor are very understanding and aways help on everything you need. the environment is professional and friendly.

I liked working at American Leather because it kept me busy, it was a fast paced environment, very physical work from lifting, to consistent walking and moving around. Repetitious work days, but lots of thinking.
