Best Brands Inc.

Family run business with lots of insider info that isn't shared with employees. Promise of bonuses that never came. Watching tons of money get wasted, with no desire to change any process. You must work ALL holidays, no exceptions (unless you are family). Leadership was always mad about something and it was hard to tell how or when they would explode on people. They talk about "rules" that they basically make up any time they want to control someone, most of them can't be found written anywhere. There is an obvious class separation between sales team, warehouse staff, and office employees, with different sets of rules (again, unwritten). I eventually quit after the second time a leader came into my office cursing and swearing, saying I was supposed to be doing something that he said was part of my job, but it had never been communicated, nor did I have access to the information required to do the job. Leaving was a great move for my family, my sanity and stress level!

What is the best part of working at the company?
Certain coworkers were lovely. That’s about it.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Enjoyed the work until they piled on others jobs bc they no longer wanted to do (what they were hired for) Being expected to help when others left me drowning for months

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Toxic most days. Some days it was like a flip switched and they pretended like they weren’t annoyed the previous days. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
I’d come in, start my work, immediately be asked to do something that someone else (was hired to do) no longer wants, go talk to coworkers who actually treat me nice then get call insubordinate and undermining for talking about my life on my 15 minute breaks. Took short lunch because I have to finish others jobs and then attempt to finish my own before days end.

Personally, I loved working there. Not the best advancement opportunities for everyone but like most jobs, you just have to find your placement. Every work day was a work-out, and they got their money's worth from some of the warehouse team. Nightshift were the black-sheep but they always pulled through. This job really showed me the meaning of "Team" and the amazing things that can happen when everyone comes together for a common goal. Hardest part of the job had to have been seeing very good employees leave due to the lack of humanity shown to their own.

No JOB is perfect but this one is right up there near the top. 
If you're looking for a company that values its employees and understands that 'life happens,' look no further.
The owners genuinely care about their employees' well-being and are very accommodating when personal circumstances arise. 
While learning new things can be tough on anyone as well as change but working at this office everyone is very helpful & accommodating
Sometimes things get a little stressful when you are short on staff & people on vacation but each person can only do so much. 

I would highly recommend this job to anyone who values a healthy work-life balance and a supportive team." 

Working here for a while now, and it has been a genuinely positive experience. Everyone I have worked with upholds a healthy and supportive culture where respect, communication and collaboration is valued. This is paired with a healthy work life balance, good base compensation and benefit packages. I find that working here there is room to grow and I have seen that for myself and others within Best Brands. I am happy working here and overall, it's been an experience I am very grateful for. 

What is the best part of working at the company?
It's a good place to work all of the staff treat each other very well 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Nothing stressful at all everything goes great 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Work environment is great multi cultural also.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Easy days hardly ever any problems

You are either in with them or you aren't. If you aren't they will skip over you for oppurtunities and give them to someone else. They are nice to your face and mean behind your back. It is a family business , but more in a nepotism way than a supportive way. The pay was okay, but if they didn't like you then you wouldn't get a raise. Nothing there was based off merit or determination. It was all politics.

The training was great and was to learn and you can learn different positions and move around and move up  to perform a different job position , everyone was friendly and some became like family.

This company is a good place to work if you want to stay in the state of TN.  The job overall is very satisfying and the ability to create your own schedule is nice

Job is mediocre. Not a lot of room for advancement. Training is mediocre at best. Structure could be a lot better. If they don't like you they will find a reason to fire you.
