Magid Glove & Safety

This company runs the vast majority of its business off of excel spreadsheets. The business system is antiquated, and the sales CRM is homegrown and useless.
 
When a company has to rely on talking about the "culture" every chance they get, it is because the typically underpay employees 30% less than market value. Expect nothing better the "meets" for every review and typically everyones review company wide needs to be 3% on average. Managers are constantly reminded to limit any "exceeds performance" with annual reviews. Managers will just be told to make the goals unachievable.
 
Benefits are terrible for the office employees.  At a certain level, your health insurance subsidizes lower paid employees so yours is more expensive. The 401K match maxes out at $750.  Any "profit-sharing" vests over 6-years. With 3% annual raises, you will lose money after 6-years.
 
Because of the antiquated business system, repetitive tasks that are normally solved by modern business systems will consume your time. It does NOT matter what department you are in, all your time will be consumed by repetitive tasks in excel. Even if you are in sales.  Getting accurate data out of the business system and into excel is challenging and often contains inaccurate data.
 
There is little to no room for advancement or promotions.
 
The vast majority of their business is to import gloves from Asia and Pakistan and sell them at lower prices than the competition. There is some manufacturing done in the building, but that is specialty and lower run items.


A typical day at work would be hearing the rumors about what others did or who has the biggest drama in their life. This place isn't about work, It's all personal and nobody cares enough anyway. In this place you learn to watch your back due to everybody being a snake and being for their own which it can be in any other place, but here is worse. Management ? Don't count on it. It doesn't exist. They lie to your face and make you feel safe, the next day..you're fired over the phone and don't even know the reason. You have an issue? Save your breath and don't bother addressing it. You won't be heard and let alone helped and if you even expect things to change ..silly you! The only thing that's going to change, is your employment status.Benefits are good enough and that's probably the only thing. You can only work there if you're not a hard worker and don't care about it, otherwise, they will let you go because that's what they do,so if you get hired, start looking for a job anyway.They let good people go like it's nothing and after that they act like you never existed when you try contacting them for things you need from them. You work hard for them and they treat you like trash.

I worked for them for 4 months as a field service rep...my training was literally I was shown where to go one time and was not shown everything I needed to know to do the job properly. Was hired as part time and told I would be bumped up to full time with benefits after 3 months which never happened. As soon as I asked about being moved up which I was working 50 hours per week I was fired. I was set up by my supervisor so he could hire his neighbor for the job. Since I was never shown everything I needed to do for the job I was unaware I was doing anything wrong, and no one told me or corrected anything I was doing so I thought I was doing what should have been done....needless to say I would never recommend anyone to ever work for this company or purchase from this company ever! They are underhanded and promise you the world and never deliver. Also the supervisors grossly misuse their company credit cards for their own personal items and pay for their family outings which I have witnessed many times.

I am expected to work one day a week, and be the back-up FSR for another employee. It is very flexible, my supervisor and district manager are amazing people with great communication. When filling in as a back-up for the FSR that handles the machines, you work two days + your original one. It is wonderful that there is not a specific schedule, as long as you get it done (when the warehouse is open of course). I take inventory, deliver product to specific departments, and re-stock shelves in our container for the other FSR. When filling in, the only added duty, is restocking the machines!

I work in the Inside Sales arena and you will not find a better culture.  An amazing flexible and fun environment to be a part of.  True purpose in the role as you are consulting customers to adopt a superior product that will help send their workers home safely.  The combination of all of this makes me feel proud to be a part of this culture and mission of protecting the hard working American people. 

Working part time for Magid Glove is a very pleasant experience. The job itself in comparison to what I did in the Oil and Gas Industry was very trivial. I basically restocked two industrial type vending machines with safety gloves and safety glasses. I ordered new stock and kept inventory on stock on hand. I interacted with employees at jobsite to get their overall input on safety gloves. The warehouse where inventory was stored was kept in a storage facility and I kept items catalogued and in neat appearance.

Spent three years here. Employees are vastly undervalued and underpaid. We always need someone but management fails to hire a decent candidate. I understand we’re not in a recession but for some positions they could literally hire just about anyone to fill the void. The lunch room is a nice touch but seriously you will get fat if you eat there. There is a fair bit of nepotism and a focus on sales but lack of follow through when it comes to the customer. The environment is stressful. I felt so relieved when I gave my notice. This place was killing me.

Good work-life balance as employees rarely work overtime.  Break opportunities include 1/4 mile walking track, ping pong, basketball and pickle ball.  Breakfast and lunch meals are subsidized at company cafeteria.  Coworkers are very friendly and teamwork is highly encouraged.  Helping my customers save money on their safety equipment expenses and developing relationships them is the best part of my position.

I went into chemical plants to stock their ppe when I worked for the company. I had my ppe stored at a local storage unit. I pretty much worked whatever hours I wanted as long as I was able to meet the chemical plants needs. I loved working by myself and being able to do my computer work from home unless I was counting inventory. Pros are definitely the benefits, 401k, health, vision, dental, paid vacation, paid holidays, and flexible schedule. The only real con was sometimes commutation wasn't always the best with my bosses or people at corporate.
