Origin USA

The work and people I work with aren't bad but the company presented itself one way to the public (huge social media use) but was different once i started  work. I was really excited to work here but the realities left me disappointed. Barely any vets on staff (probably $$ related), the jobs leading to advancement are given to people out of state,  Maine employees are still broke and struggling, and there is no fairness between benefits received across factories. Apparently if youre  thinking about a job here, it's better to be in Maine than north carolina. 

Note: Origin USA in Maine is NOT the same company as Origin USA in Florida. 

Origin in Maine is a great place to work. It's a mission driven, community oriented, and supportive organization. It's an easy place to get out of bed for in the morning. Owners/executives are absolutely salt of the earth, good people which reflects in the culture. 

Heavy bro culture. Must be ok with being filmed for the internet at any given moment, lacking in employee privacy. 

Sweltering hot in the summer and freezing cold in the winter. Demand to perform is high, expectations of quality depend on who you ask and the day. 

Leadership like to pat each other on the back and present themselves with an air of superiority to the average production workers. 

You are not allowed to question or criticize anything, and you also must sign a fairly creepy NDA



As a Mainer it's unfortunate that Leadership will recruit for positions from outside the company before they will promote from within their own employee pool. I have seen good people leave because management doesn't value its own staff. Also, a lot of the jobs in Maine are being outsourced to other factories in other states instead of keeping them in Maine which does nothing for Mainers. 

I've worked for several firms in multiple capacities over a 40 year career, and can say without question that Origin has provided more challenge, opportunity, transparency, empowerment, and positive culture than any employer I've ever worked for. It's a daily honor and privilege to serve this company, family, community, and country as we continue to resurrect U.S. manufacturing.

I haven't been a part of the Origin fam for long but they all make me feel like I've been there forever. They truly care about the people who work there, their customers, and our country. I am always happy going into work being surrounded by my new family. Knowing we are helping build up America while providing high quality American handmade products makes me proud. 

Proud to be part of Origin's team.  As a growing brand, each day is exciting and my teammates are enthusiastic about our mission. We're now Maine and North Carolina strong! 

We're truly breathing new meaning into what it means to be American Made. If you're excited about restoring American manufacturing, committed to personal growth, and care about other people? You're gonna love it here and fit right in. 

What is the best part of working at the company?
The shift time is good if you like having afternoons after work 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Dealing with consistently poor management, and feeling unsafe at work 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Misogynistic and degrading to their employees

Don't get manipulated into thinking this is a wonderful place to work, where they claim to value their employees. Upper management and leadership is absolutely terrible. Blind leading the blind. Very high employee turn over rate. 

Upper management is disorganized and no one seems to be steering the ship. The image they put out is a facade to get their base fired up but they really could care less about veterans and their employees.
