Grass America

I have been working at Grass America for about a year and a half now and I have been please with the working environment.  The people are friendly and ready to help each other when available.  My manager is extremely gracious and seems to be willing to help, not just to get things done, but to try and teach the people working for (him/her).  The department seems to get along extremely well, not because we always agree but because there is a mutual respect shown between coworkers.  

While I do not have a lot of interaction between different departments, I do see from my limited experience that the company management does seem slightly detached from the hard realities of the average workers problems.  I personally believe in and trust that the company leadership is extremely qualified and filled by intelligent people who can lead the company to greater success in business.

The one major downturn that I have been unfortunate enough to experience is the limitations of part-time work.  Since beginning at Grass America I have been amazed by the things that the company seems to deem as necessary, while others they believe to be nonessential.  In my time with the company my role has expanded in several different ways, to the point that I cannot ever possibly get everything done that needs to be done.  Yet the company cannot seem to comprehend that, and wants to continue to push people out the door because they do not seem to understand that the most important part of any business is the people.  

Another negative aspect of the company culture that I have not experienced myself but have heard about is the lack of standard practices across the company.  The department heads seem to have independent control of their divisions, and while that can be great for some people others seem to suffer because of the non uniformity of the company practices.  

Overall, I have found that the company is a good place to work, with a friendly environment, if you can manage to plead your worth to management.

This company is struggling with it's products in the market place.
Pay is not competitive with similar company's in the market.
Upper management is inexperienced and lacks vision.
Parent company, Wurth, treats it's employees with little respect.
Sales incentives are there but always made unattainable to avoid pay outs.
Most salespeople are disgruntled, unhappy with management.
Your unattainable sales goals are used to threaten and intimidate.

I have loved working for this company since the first day I started! Everyone is willing to help, assist, and teach with anything I may need. All managers are great and very understanding about personal life things. Pay and flexibility is definitely competitive. Everyone is also friendly and the company shows that they care about their workers. Company celebrations are fun and allows everyone to get to know each other. I love what I do and glad they gave me an opportunity to be apart of this company!! I have grown and learned a lot from them.

Job can be boring at times but the people make it worth it. It can be hot in the warehouse but they give breaks and ice pops if over 90ish. Very easy to get hours. Working here was a blessing with school and management in the front office was easy to work with. Hardest part was the temperature. Typical days are 7-3 working in your department fulfilling orders. The culture is very blue coller

The people at Grass America are amazing and have so much experience. The biggest downside is that they are slow to make any culture changes. The pay is minimal for the industry, not a lot of company organizations or programs to participate in. Walking into this company it feels like it has gotten stuck in the 80s-90s.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Great employees  and good managers 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Machine troubleshooting and production 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Great and easy going I love that place 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Every day was great no problems

Grass America is a great place to work at, people have been here for a long time and that’s for a reason. The benefits are good vacation time is great once you are a full time employee. Good pay for whatever it is you do. Overall great place. 

I have had entry level management courses such as Practical Management 1, etc. I am fork lift certified. I have worked in Quality Assurance for many years and have extensive experience in that field.

Very nice place to work for good environment people there when ice there'sjust a point in time where you need to update some of your equipment in order to get things done the right way in a timely matter not sure why but they just still ran old stuff and things would have constantly breaking it would take forever to finish a job

Run a hinge machine. Inspect product as its in process. Measure, pack and label for shipping.  Simple job just repetitive,  Only stressful when maintenance can't fix your machine and your down,  That can make for a long shift.
