chief executive officer

Blum, Inc

You have to clock in 5 minutes early and be on your job on time whether you have the equipment you need to do the job. And most of the time the lockers are in another department on the other side of the walls So it’s very hard to be in your location to start the daily process especially on the hanging and unloading line.. You learned who you could trust and who you couldn’t.Management sucks, they have their favorites. And they get to whatever they want to do. The short breaks you get  and lunch are crazy. You don’t  have enough time for a snack and a bathroom breaK before the buzzer goes off to start the job back. You  are never trained right and they expect you to get it right the first time. They treat the material handlers really bad especially when they have a hard time keeping up  on the loading and unloading lines and make fun of them. And get mad if the line stops. Some of the employees that care about you and don’t judge how you do your job. And are actually are your friends and you have a friendship outside of work.

I like my job because it gives me a sense of purpose and structure in my everyday life. Each day, I am challenged to learn something new, whether it is a skill, a process, or a better way to work with others. The responsibilities I have push me to be more organized, disciplined, and confident in my abilities. I also enjoy the people I work with, because collaboration makes even difficult tasks feel manageable and rewarding. Knowing that my effort contributes to a larger goal motivates me to do my best, even on stressful days. My job also provides stability, which allows me to plan for the future and work toward personal goals outside of work. Overall, I like my job because it helps me grow both professionally and personally while giving me a sense of accomplishment at the end of the day.

Overall a great company however bad behavior and attitudes towards employees from management is swept under the rug. Especially from one manager who is well known for her actions and the way she speaks to and treats employees. She is unprofessional, lacks education or management/supervisor training, and is an example of micromanagement at its finest. Job descriptions will state Advancement Opportunities but candidates beware that is FAR from the truth. You will have opportunities dangled in front of your face and work hard to achieve them and they will never allow you to further yourself.

Boss was a bully, but management kept him in check .. not sure why they kept him. Building maintenance requires a diverse skill set. I enjoyed my work. Co workers are the same anywhere. Don’t make enemies, and choose friends wisely.. I was everything from a janitor to an engineer, but the pay was decent and good benefits. Austrian company, harder for Americans to advance, but that appears to be changing. I recommend them. I was there 20 years.   

The folks that have been there for years will tell you that the work environment is changing. It used to be a place where people were happy and enjoyed their work but now it’s different. Blum is becoming more about profits and less about people. If you’re interested in a company that wants to treat you like a number rather than a person, this is perfect for you. 

Reviews occur frequently.   Workplace culture is relaxed but everyone cares about their jobs.  Frequent classes to learn more about working together and being successful as a group.  HR big influence on making things flow smoothly.   

If you're looking for OK pay wages, and get paid every 2 weeks...just go there, do what they tell you to do and that's it; nothing more, nothing less and you get paid. 

Most manufacturing are dirty unforgiving environments.  Very few companies have a yearly carnival, steak dinner, bonus and Christmas bonus  (2 bonus' a year) for its employees.  The environment is clean and air conditioned.  Management cares about its people.  There is plenty of opportunity for growth internally as well as training provided at all levels.

I learned when things go wrong keep quiet or you’ll be singled out the door. Retaliation is very common at this company and as this state is At will your sure to lose your job and the dedicated years of labor put into this company. Lives have been destroyed by this company behind retaliation from management.
