It is an okay place to work if you have been here a long time already, or if you don't plan on advancing your career anytime soon. Older employees get the option of working through their hour lunch and leaving early, but I haven't seen younger employees get that option. It takes a long, long time to get promoted here as well. The managers prefer to hire externally before moving current employees up, which makes no sense. Also, they are not a new-mother friendly company. There is no "pumping room" if you do not have your own office, and the only space with the full ability to pump in gets taken by the first visitor that comes to town. There is also no transition period when returning from maternity leave. It is hit the ground running full throttle on the first day back. NOT enjoyable. On the bright side, the benefits are nice. The health insurance is pricey, but it comes in handy when big medical expenses happen, like having a child. They do have paid vacation and personal days, which is nice. Also, as an employee, you get discounts on the products we make.

What is the best part of working at the company?
The people were the only thing keeping me here longer than a year.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Hard to say what was most stressful because it was all pretty stressful but I'd have to say watching less qualified people get positions over people who have been there 1 year or longer just for dating one of the managers.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Toxic is the best way to describe it. Bosses that don't listen, coworkers that love to start drama, higher ups that care for a week then all of a sudden dont care at all, people who have been here 5 months pretending to be on leadership roles.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Stretches, a lackluster speech from the under qualified shift lead, then on to the lines from 2pm to 6pm and which time we get a 20 minute lunch. Then from 6:20pm to 8pm we get a 10 minute break. Then we go home at 10 unless they force you to work 10 hours then we get a second 10 minute break at 10pm and go home at 12.

The management team constantly lied to me and made me believe I was doing an excellent job.  They continued to hire permanent people all around me making me believe that I would be very happy with up coming changes they were making in the company.  I had every opportunity to look for employment elsewhere, but was promised by management that I would be happy with the outcome of upcoming changes.  Then I was dismissed from my position  without a reason, except that I wasn't culturally a fit...after 7 months.  They discriminate against age and use whoever they can and lie about the future of that person just to get ahead for themselves.  They won't be around long anyway.  I say within 5 years they will be in Illinois at they've already relocated several departments in the few months I was there.  I know now I would NEVER want to work for people who make decisions in this company, and some of the nasty, mean and rude co workers..

What is the best part of working at the company?
The best part of working at the company is the teamwork. Everyone is willing to help each other succeed, and there’s a strong sense of collaboration across departments.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The most stressful part is ensuring that everything is done safely and correctly while still keeping operations moving. The responsibility is significant, but it reinforces the importance of planning, awareness, and teamwork.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
The work environment is collaborative and professional, with a culture that values safety, accountability, and open communication, making it a place where employees feel supported and motivated to do their best work.

A typical day at work is fast-paced and focused on meeting operational goals while supporting the team. I’ve learned a lot about leadership, problem-solving, and improving processes to increase efficiency. Management is supportive and open to feedback, and they encourage accountability and teamwork. The workplace culture promotes collaboration and continuous improvement.

The hardest part of the job can be managing volume fluctuations and tight deadlines, but it also helps you grow professionally. The most enjoyable part of the job is working with a dedicated team and seeing the results of our efforts when goals are achieved.


The products were good but with increases in sourcing from other countries, quality has been sacrificed. I enjoyed the products and brands before the leadership change. Management did not stick to the strategic plan; they were constantly shifting priorities and making it impossible to follow through with the current goals. It would switch week to week, I understand the need to adapt but it was out of control. We had one meeting where leadership took our spreadsheets and just added random numbers in to make our "NEW GOALS”. They deleted the formulas and justified goals with lofty marketing numbers.  
Meetings would start at 7 am and they would go all day, if you are on the product team, you have calls with other countries at 10 pm too. The constant meetings made it impossible to get work done and we would be scrutinized if we couldn't keep up. 


Would recommend employment elsewhere. Management frequently makes promises that are never kept. Overtime is mandatory however the embarrassing employee turnover rates leave workers with no parts or parts made incorrectly. Management has high expectations but no desire to train or instruct new employees, only when they have made enough “mistakes” will their presence be known. The building is not in good condition multiple occasions of a waterfall of water pouring out of ceiling a mere 15ft from active welding tables and various workers including myself were told to “ Continue what you’re doing we are doing our best to handle it”. The water proceeded for several minutes before being patched and then covered with a tarp. 

Starting here two years ago was completely different vs leaving. Time off offered is a lot, but you’re completely burnt out everyday with the amount of work and calls you receive. You’re working anywhere from 5-10 hours of overtime a week just to even stay afloat and taking 80-100 calls a day. That being said, it almost isn’t fair to work/life balance. They are good about needing time off, and family/kids if they’re ever sick. Your customers seem more appreciative of your work than the bosses as well. Pay increase received for a promotion was but a few pennies, and yearly increases are around 2.5%. When I submitted my notice, I was the fourth person (out of 11 people total) within a month to resign. 

What is the best part of working at the company?
Flexibility, culture and development opportunities

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Workload can be a lot at time, and pay isn't top dollar, but the team environment helps because you're never really on your own when things get stressful.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
The environment is one of the best I have worked in. It can get hectic and busy and stressful at times. The team collaboration and the understanding and flexibility from managers is really what makes it worth it for me. They also do a lot of cool events and support different groups or awareness type things which I like. Makes it feel less like just clocking in and clocking out every day.

The company fosters a collaborative and supportive environment, which has allowed me to grow in both operational management and human resources. In my role, I’ve been entrusted with a wide range of responsibilities—from overseeing daily office functions to managing recruitment, onboarding, and employee engagement initiatives. I’ve appreciated the trust and autonomy given to me, as well as the open communication and teamwork across departments. The leadership values employee input and is genuinely committed to creating a positive workplace culture. It’s a fast-paced environment, but one where hard work is recognized and growth is encouraged.
