Laudisi Enterprises

Laudisi is  a good company to work for if you're just starting out. They pay well and have great benefits for hourly positions. Many of the people there are fantastic too! From the office staff to production and shipping, the company has a lot of really good, cool, and nice people.

After that it depends on how much they like you. Workplace politics and playing favorites is strong at this company — and it's done by almost all members of Upper Management. For the most part, it's a company of highly educated individuals who have no experience at their jobs but have been successful because the products sell themselves (Tobacco) and they protect their favorite people. During my time, I saw a lot of workplace politics and was even used as a pawn in these games. I know of instances of things that were swept under the rug so that these favorite people could keep their jobs.

At the end of the day, this place has the same problems that all workplaces have. Whether or not you'll be happy here or advance is up to how the others feel about you personally, if you can buddy up to the right people, and if you're a smoker. Skip the headache and find something else.

A lot of people say things like "this is the hardest job you'll ever love", but I've never experienced it until working here. There's always a lot of work to be done, yes, but if I ever needed additional support or training, I've gotten it.

My job path here has been a little strange, but essentially I saw that there was a need for a job role to be fulfilled, so I wrote up a proposal and they helped me create it, including additional resources and training. I'm not the only one either, and I've seen other employees be trained in and transition to other career paths within the company.

Yes, I have occasionally worked long hours, but I've also been supported personally when the need arose, and seen other employees be housed when their own accommodations were damaged in a hurricane, and others been given additional paid sick leave when ill.

Like I said, it's a hard job occasionally, but I've loved every minute of it, and would recommend Laudisi without a second thought.

Working for SmokingPipes.com is the best job I’ve ever had. The people are friendly and helpful, the atmosphere is chill, and there are many “perks” to working here like company events that are more like team building events but without all the "big corporate” fluff. The managers ask that you work hard but we got lots of latitude and freedoms that most people don’t get in their careers. Just for instance, I don’t “get in trouble” when I’m five or ten minutes late because my employer recognizes that i’m a valuable asset to the team.

 I’ve worked for these guys longer than most, and I’ve seen some “mixed” reviews from disgruntled employees on sites like this. I’ll tell you quite honestly I think that a lot of people have trouble working in the kind of environment that’s not so mapped out, where your manager isn’t breathing down your neck. I know it sounds crazy but I think some people just need more structure than that. Quite honestly the people that have been fired since I’ve been here are the kind of people that take advantage of a employers generosity and then get fired and then wonder why. 

Don’t listen to the haters. Laudisi is great!

    This job was cool for about 2 weeks. There are some fun perks and they seem to do a lot for their employees. But the management (specifically Blending/Packaging) is a mockery of the word Leader. Dishonest, unprofessional, and awkwardly in charge, you’ll really feel like you work for someone who has no business managing human beings. You will be lied to, and you will awkwardly have to discuss every issue you have, personal or work related at your work station in front of your peers, no office setting requested by this manager. 

    This is a small company trying to act like a big company in-house. Thin HR resources (contributing to the poor management) and a general lack of structure in their leadership will make you feel like a drone with a low battery by 1 month in. Unless you’re desperate, go somewhere else, even for a little less money for the sake of your happiness and respect. 

Most non-management employees really care about the company. They show up every day and work very hard in an unfair and non-structured environment while dealing with unsupportive, backstabbing, manipulating, unethical, narcissistic, and lazy HR and management team. I am not a disgruntled employee. I quit on my own terms.  This is an honest review from an employee who worked very hard every day for multiple years hoping they would change, but alas, no. Therefore, saddened to leave.  I brought my issues to HR multiple time - no change, ever!

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
I help where needed.

If you are a hard working individual do not work for this company.  All promotions are based on favoritism and not merit.  All management personnel have zero management experience.  Most job postings are for entry level positions only with no room for growth and opportunity.  Management creates new titles and positions for favored individuals without posting therefore excluding qualified current employees looking for opportunities for advancement.

As stated this place has a toxic work environment, they claim family atmosphere but far from it! It is all corporate now and don’t reward hard work! If you’re a mediocre worker and can get that nose nice and brown this job is for you!! If you’re a hard worker and don’t kiss the crack, stay away from this toxic place!!! Ps don’t believe that a/c works properly never has!

I worked for Laudisi for a yr. Great company to work for. They will teach you everything you need to learn about the tobacco industry. They will also cross train you in different departments if you are willing to learn. They encourage you to learn as much as you can. Everyone there even if it is not in the department you work will help you learn.
