Bigelow Tea

No day is the same at Bigelow. I have learned a lot about the machinery, such as they can be fickle and almost everything is temperature or humidity sensitive. 
Management is lacking, and they don't take many suggestions for improvement. 
Workplace culture is also lacking on most days because the employees are so burnt out, which may not be directly Bigelow's fault, but remains to be true. Some days, the employees and their attitudes are what saves the day. On the other hand, their turn-over rate is quite high, and they encourage people with criminal records to apply earnestly.
The hardest part of the job is learning time-management if you've never been in a time-management-heavy job before. Once you have a routine, it's easy.
The most enjoyable part of the job is your fellow employees and seeing how the processes are done from beginning to end. 
Advancement is hard unless you're friends with certain people.
I do enjoy the 4 day, 10 hour work schedule, though.  

They will harp on the values yet they are just words they do not go by them at all. You will be stuck preforming task that aren’t in your job description and you will have no room for growth. Management is a joke they like to harp on saying they are on your side but next thing you know they are throwing you under the bus just to show face. You will get a package with benefits but be warned if you use any of your time off or your remote time to work from home there will be a issue and you may also be written up about it. Honestly the worst mistake I did was accepting the offer.

Warehouse functions in MRP, using RF equipment and a PC interface, processes sales orders, generates shipping documents, and performs inventory transactions. Assembles orders, package them for shipment, and loads the product for LTL, TL, or 3PL. Assist with weekly cycle counting, Exposure to production, receiving, and raw material inventory.

Maintaining 100% accuracy was hard to achieve and will have a negative impact on the company.

I enjoyed the freedom to address areas of improvement that could be improved.

•Your physical health has taken a hit. 
•Your mental health is deteriorating.
•You need stimulants to get through your day.
•You've taken on new responsibilities without getting a raise.
•This workplace has a high turnover rate.
• High levels of stress
• Haven’t received a raise in pay in over 2 years and colleagues who are in similar positions make more than you.
• Supervisor avoids discussions about advancement or salary increases
• You dread going to work every day.
• You feel like there's not enough time in the day and you feel like you'll never catch up at work.

Left due to an hr dispute. she got fired. loved my management and the incentives were pretty consistent almost every week ( night shift ) we were bought dinner. they wanna here your opinions and ideas. they do feel like a family. i would love to go back if i didn't move away. work mans comp was hard to get when i worked there and was the reason i had left. due to my injury i was not allowed back without being able to work full hours. i was told by corporate they have never accommodated for less than a full shift but they were doing so for 3 other people at the time of my injury. that may be the only down fall. 

I loved the job for my first six months of training. Then I switched back to night shift and the manager has favorites. Seems to always be in the office unless your machines are not hitting standard. And the night shift supervisor dissent know how to talk to to people ask dumb questions that is her job to do to you. And the night shift supervisor makes the job more stressful then it needs to be. Vacation is earned 6 hours a month. And sick personal time they only give you 40 hours for a whole year. The attendance policy sucks you basically fired if you miss 5 day's in a 6 month period.

As Maintenance Mechanic they want you to watch the tea machines and stand for 12 hours waiting fir the machine to break-down, then fix it. The training is not modern, which means they want you to stand all shift waiting for the machines to break-down or stop and get them running in a hurry, yet do not train you to do so. They have a high turn-over so you will never be taught or trained my a certified trainer. This means, you will get non-professional trainers training you will they are doing their work and have attitudes for being over-worked.

Ok job for one that underpays but not rewarding and low likelihood of moving up in company unless you know someone.

Only place I have worked for to give a suspension to someone because of their car breaking down on the way to work making it where they couldn't call in 30 mins before shift start.

Will overwork you then give you a bad rise  on top of making you wait 3 extra months to give out bonuses (meant to get it in July now being told it won't be till September when the next bonuses is do)


Very micromanaged environment.  President of the company offers double standards to issues that exist in the organization.  Employees are often treated like children.

Very prison like environment, outdated policies and procedures.

Company run as a dictatorship.

Worse place I ever worked.

Former HR Vice President, would rant and rave and violate his own procedures with employees.

No balance of power in this organization.

What is the best part of working at the company?

 Being forced to do mandatory over time.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
It's welcoming but some people take it overboard.

Extremely busy. It's non stop. Very little down time to just breathe.
