Tedder Industries

I started with them in May 2020,  and asked to work from home in July,  by October 20th, I was able to bring my machine home and product supplies. It’s great. I take finished product back every couple weeks, sometimes sooner. I love that they were willing to work with me to get my work home. I’m now working from home and purchasing the machine by working it off. I don’t believe they do that for everyone. I was not completely comfortable with working closely with my coworkers due to COVID. Coming home has taken so much worry and stress from me.

The person who initiated me going home, mentioned he would like to see more employees doing this, I’m kinda the trial runner. As things work out for me, maybe more women  and men will find this an advantage to their family/ life balance it kinda depends on your position though .  I know for some people they need to be at work to be productive, not me, I enjoy working from home but I have done this before with my own personal business.

I couldn’t be happier, the first company whichI really have enjoyed working with.


A typical day at work consisted of coming in and not knowing what the plan for the day was until 1-2hrs into shift. 
I believe I learned how to manage a team well under high pressure scenarios with more than one person directing the days duties.
 Management had no clear direct chain of command and there was no recourse for employees to go around managers they didn’t like. 
Workplace culture was lacking moral and incentive most of all. There was no longer employee benefits that were provided for years before, no longer employee appreciation programs for good attendances or implemented ideas, and no longer any room for growth for individuals to move up in the company. 
Hardest part of the job was the lack of communication between the high, middle and low managers. Low level managers were commonly seen as unable to complete projects because of vital information was not being shared. 
Most enjoyable part of the job would absolutely be the people.

As is the case in most fair sized companies, you could work in department “A” and have one experience and someone else could work in department “B” and have a completely different work experience. With that being said, MY experience has been really great. I would recommend working here. The pros outweigh the cons, but sometimes money is money and at some point, we all get to a place where a position advancement and/or a deserved pay raise gets brought up and you may not have many other options but to move on. I truly hope that doesn’t happen and I would love to keep working here for years to come. I support their value for project collaboration and effort for team chemistry. All people are different and not all managers manage the same exact way, but this company truly strives to only hire happy team oriented people who will get the job done while striving for a positive work place. Tedder Industries is going in almost all the right directions.
You should apply :)

First, people mention low wages, but considering Idaho Min Wage is $7.25, wages aren't that bad. The benefits are nice compared to some places I have worked, and start fairly quickly. You don't have to have a lot of firearm history to work here, you just have to know what one is and not have an issue with them. Everything else, they will happily teach and provide resources to assist. 

Customer's via phone were generally great and entertaining. Really, the hardest part of the job from my point of view was having to inform people about their own firearm; it can be a little bit of a Google Search to determine which Light/Laser someone had, for example. 

The biggest thing I didn't like about being here is that everyone was on a different page, and everyone did things different. Which is fine, except for when you would be informed how to do something by one person, and then told you need to do it a different way by someone else. It would be nice to see everyone get on the same starting point.

Tedder will hire anyone with a pulse, even if they aren't a good fit for the company. They've even rehired people who have quit multiple times. Work starts at 6 am for day shift. You work on an assembly line making holsters or belts. You're expected to make 30 holsters per hour, If you don't then you get yelled at by the management which actually puts you further behind. They tell you that you get paid holidays off, but you don't. You have to work an additional day to make up for the day off. In the winter, they get busy and institute mandatory overtime, and in the summer there's not enough work for everyone and so you get sent home early or get stuck doing busy work.

You will know a tree by it's fruits, and this company continues to improve and grow and has many healthy accomplishments that are hard to ignore.  They received one of 3 nominations against all companies in idaho for the 2017 Idaho Innovative Company of the Year, AND the 2017 Idaho Innovative Product of the Year.  Each generation of it's product is an industry changing product line.  

People that have a great attitude AND produce results are recognized and rewarded.  MANY can attest to being promoted from within and given increases in pay.  This is a happy and engaged workplace where the vast majority are happy and thriving.

Insurance for a family is ridiculously expensive when you consider how much you're paid. Awful wages. A lot of good people, at least on the office side. 
Stagnant. Led on by management. Despair of never moving forward. No room for advancement for most, below average wages, horrible benefits. Great for single people with nothing, no one, and no goals or dreams. Bad for families and stability and anyone hoping to be able to afford a house. Honestly I can't even afford my rent and enough to save for a car. I have to hope my car doesn't break down. I'll be screwed. I give them everything. I have to worry about not being able to afford a car. Enough said.

You can be trained on every line there is, provided you aren’t too good at just one thing. Raises come few and far in between, communication is highly lacking which results in a lot of issues.

Some of the management is good. Most of it is bad - reflected mostly in communication and wrongly placed blame. New departments get special treatment while old ones get ignored, which can be incredibly frustrating.

It is production, 4 days 10 hours. There is no such thing as voluntary layoffs, youre expected to twiddle your thumbs until there might be a scrap of work. 

There are company paid events and once in a blue moon paid lunches. Free ice cream.


In my 20+ years of being in the workforce, this has hands down been one of the most rewarding jobs I've ever had. I can't speak for every department, but overall Management is great and will try to help you out both inside and outside of work when needed. It is a very family like culture where you're work actually gets seen and appreciated. Pay isn't the highest out there, but it's a small trade of for actually enjoying coming to work. You can advance fairly easily with hard work. Only negative I can say is that overall communication within departments and throughout the company as a whole could be a lot better. Otherwise one of the best places I've ever worked. 

Working in Customer Service, I have found outstanding support and mentoring while learning my job.  Support, personal growth opportunity, and the freedom to do what is truly best for the customer, each and every day, make this job one of the most enjoyable I've worked.  

The people I have opportunity to meet with in other departments have all been friendly and helpful, and we work together as a team should.  There are improvements to be made, but we're growing and meeting challenges together, and that's important!
