Grizzly Industrial Inc.

During my tenure at Grizzly, I encountered unforeseen health challenges that necessitated my departure. Nevertheless, I feel compelled to express my utmost satisfaction with the company. Having engaged in various roles over the course of my career, including endeavors requiring formal education, I can confidently assert that Grizzly stands out as a commendable employer.

Central to my endorsement is the exceptional quality of management. The leadership cohort exhibits a profound dedication not only to task accomplishment, but also to the well-being of the staff. Throughout my association with the company, their unwavering support and patience in light of my fluctuating health conditions were particularly noteworthy.

Grizzly distinguishes itself by providing comprehensive and tangible benefits, both apparent and latent. Moreover, the organization demonstrates a robust commitment to fostering professional growth, contingent upon one's diligence and contributions.

In reflection, my tenure at Grizzly evoked admiration owing to their exceptional divergence from conventional corporate norms. Their unwavering emphasis on staff support and well-rounded care sets them apart from my prior professional engagements.

I offer my enthusiastic endorsement of Grizzly, predicated upon my personal encounter with their distinctive and supportive work culture.

Grizzly is a great company to work for. Management is very caring and approachable. It begins with the founder who is a very humble person and is passed down through the ranks. Management is pretty good, put the leads, called PICs are incredible! They are the direct supervisors in the call centers and are very helpful. The business is closed Sundays and holidays. There is quite a bit of a learning curve, but the company is very patient and helpful. The downsides would be the learning curve. If woodworking/metalworking machines are not your thing, it can be hard to answer questions. That being said, there is a product support team and they are knowledgeable about the machines, so calls can be transferred to that department. The only other down side is that unless you work the 10:30 am-7 pm shift, you have to work a Saturday every other week. That means during that week, you will have a day off during the week, but the days off will not be together that week.

The job isn’t hard, you do need to know how to drive a lift, especially in freight department, 80% of freight is on a lift. Small items is about 40% or less on a lift. The lift training is the same for all departments. Typical warehouse job, your guaranteed 40hrs a week but not a second more ( or a second less). Punctuality here is borderline bonkers for the work volume, the military isn’t as bad about time as they are here. The environment is a cross between small business and major corporation. This company sells equipment extremely cheap and somewhat factory direct, that being said all equipment provides to us is either well beyond service life or worthless to start with. Starting pay is just below average. Work load fluctuates greatly so be prepared for busy work or working you hard. No heat or A/C in freight warehouse, so burn up and freeze out. Moderate turnover rate, since I have started I’d say average tenure of current staff is probably 2 years, there are multiple people with 15+ years so revolving door.

Grizzly Industrial is very clear about their expectations and policies, therefore there is little to no drama at work. People are professional and polite to each other. We come to work, cooperate with each other to get our goals accomplished, and go home. This is one of the few jobs I have been able to leave work at work.
Grizzly firmly believes in the value of long term employees. There are employees who have been with Grizzly over 30 years and why would they want to leave? Grizzly sets their new employees up for success with an extensive training program, they offer a leadership program for employees who obtain a position with a leadership role, there are cross-training opportunities, they promote from within, celebrate their employee's birthday's monthly with cake and song, host an event that involves lunch or breakfast almost monthly, and review compensation annually. I have never been at a company that so clearly values every employee.
This isn't my first rodeo, but I plan on it being my last.

I have worked at Grizzly for a while and I enjoy my job most days.  There are times when it gets rough, like when we are short staffed, which makes the days go by really fast, but you feel a bit drained by the end of the day.  There is a lot of training and various tasks that can be learned over time, which keeps the job from getting old, but a lot of job knowledge is required.  The management is good in most areas.  Some parts of management do not like change, even when it could help things be done more efficiently, so a common response is, "Well, we've always done it this way..."  The company does reviews after 90 days and then twice a year after that, with an opportunity for a raise at the first 90 day review and then at the annual review.  Raises are sometimes good, sometimes low, but better than a lot of call centers that do not give raises.  The starting pay in the call center is lower than a lot of other call centers, but it balances after a while since there is the possibility for raises at reviews.

First off, the reviews on here only represent a small percentage of employees.  Second, employees that had a bad experience are way more likely to leave a review than those of us that had a great experience. 

That being said, my time at Grizzly was amazing. Yes, some policies are behind the times but no place is perfect. The management is a great group and the employees truly are the friendliest and most caring people. There is no back stabbing or water cooler talk and everyone genuinely likes their job. 

There are high expectations when it comes to the work you produce, as well as being there on time. If you're lazy, don't want to work hard or can't show up to work on time or on a regular basis (aka have a real adult job), then Grizzly isn't for you. But if you can show up on time every day and take pride in hard work, then I would recommend Grizzly over and over.

I worked there long ago.  Training period was rather rough,  one of the women in charge of training was not patient and often  made many of us very nervous and  lose confidence.  One was very considerate and was patient to explain in more dept,  so those days were much better. 
At that time I was not very adapt to using multiple screens and monitors so the hardest part of the job was learning the workings of the computer system as it was new to me. 
It was a no nonsense  type of environment so sometimes the days drug by with very little ability to feel apart of the other staff. The most difficult part of the job was learning about all the types of machinery we would be answering questions to and helping customers with their individual needs. 


Working for this company is like going to prison everyday, Have to check in and check out for every break and lunch, if your 5 seconds late be sure they will hold it against you. They're a company that likes to control their employees and have them on a leash. Don't fall for the signing bonus, its a deal if THEY ONLY let you go because there is not enough work in the company, you receive the benefit. (they know how to work around it so you don't collect it) The pay is great because they want to suck you in and make it hard for you to leave with there high pay in the area. Now the good, the fellow co-workers are amazing people, people in the same ranking as you, Techs, or CS agents, they have great personality and you can learn a lot from them. Just beware of management, and the people they have as there minions.

Disappointing job as I feel they had zero trust in my judgement or abilities to fulfill job requirements once hired. Communication was poor, told I was making mistakes although I was never communicated the correct procedure in the first place. Got reprimanded or taking lunch legally, they often wanted me to wait 6-7 hours until the other people in my department took their lunches first (because I got there half an hour after they did?).  Feel like they were just waiting for me to mess up. Very odd and outdated environment. Was also told by the president that it takes about a year to learn the position but I was reprimanded for not picking up on everything after a couple weeks. I would not recommend working here.

When I was working here, I loved it at first. I love a handful of the people I worked with. After a couple of months, I started to look for work again due to constant gossip, favoritism, and the unfair treatment I received when I was having to constantly take my daughter to the ER or doctors office because she was severely sick. I was told that I “wasn’t a problem but a concern”, my job security was threatened all the time causing extra unneeded stress, people with no experience were getting paid $0.50-2.50 more than I was and I had several years of experience under my belt. The pressure of the fact that they refuse to higher enough people to cover those that call out was held over your head if you called out. It became a very unhealthy place to work.
