Weathertech

The Cons of working for WeatherTech.

- The managers are insular and myopic.  They will assay to listen to your ideas and feedback on projects, but they will never come to fruition and will be over-written by their own ideas.

- The work culture is really poor.  There is a lot of micromanaging and the managers will constantly look over your shoulder.  

- There's no room for advancement and you will become stipend and vapid.

- Managers are also hypocritical and will talk behind your back and what you say privately will be divulged.  I also highly recommend that you don't "LIKE" WeatherTech's Facebook page, or at the very least, keep your Facebook profile private as the manager of social media will creep your Facebook profile to dig for information about you.

- There is a high turnover rate with many workers coming in and then being replaced especially in the Internet, Human Resources and Customer service departments.

- There's no cohesive communication amongst co-workers and other departments.  It's also highly frowned upon for you to to talk with other departments.

- The people who work in this company are absolutely terrified of the owner and is instilled into peoples mind.

- You only get 5 sick days for the first year. After one year you will receive 5 days of vacation, and after two years, you receive two weeks of vacation time.  Sick or vacation time do not rollover and you'll get the default Christmas/New Years/Memorial days off, but you will not get Christmas Eve, NYE, or the day after Thanksgiving off.

- If you choose to work for the internet department, you will only get a half-hour lunch and you start work from eight to five.

- Be wary of walking around the WeatherTech buildings during winter as the company does not salt their pavements, or roads.

The Pros for working for WeatherTech.

- Growing familiar name in terms of company.

- You get good employee discounts for WeatherTech products.  WeatherTech has a variety of practical products for every car available and is of good quality.

Overall - My lambasting review of this company might seem vitriolic and acrimonious, but feel free to work for this company and then ask current employees who have worked there for a while on what happened to the people who previously worked for WeatherTech.

There aren't many benefits to working at WeatherTech. The health insurance is great but you'll have to pay for it, it gets really expensive if you have a family. The 401K was nice until the matching was taken away during the pandemic, despite sales remaining steady. There is a salon and gym but most are too afraid to use it because of, well COVID. 

Don't expect to move up in the company as there is no structure put in place to do that. 

If you're looking for creative freedom and some cool projects to work on, look elsewhere. The owner of the company has his hands in everything and only does what he wants. Those Super Bowl ads are his ideas and outsourced to another agency, despite having an in house video production studio. 

There's a really cool photo studio that's definitely not being used to its fullest potential. The studio manager is too busy doing personal photo shoots for the owner and his kids to support the creative team, oh, and you can't use stock photos either. So you're using recycled photography from years ago. 

Most of the people are really cool to work with but are very jaded and don't want to do more than the minimum, it's not really worth the effort. Mostly because management is too afraid to present new ideas to the owner. Despite being able to easily work from home during the pandemic, the owner insists that everyone is in the office 5 days a week, which has caused some real trust issues with the company. 

There had been questionable decisions made the past few years that makes me wonder if there's longevity and a future for this company...it's a private company so you never know what the financial situation is like and with the way the owner spends money on his cars, yachts, race team and private jets...it's crazy to think they make any money at all.

Worked 3 years as an electrician and weekly would have my boss tell me to speak English, this is America. Other electrician would make Mexican jokes. So much drama and anger management issues. They only advanced who they wanted. Every aspect of each job is laid out for you. How to run the conduit, where to make your bends, degrees and where to put your straps. Even where to put the coupling and in which directions they wanted the screws to face. 

Talking down to employees gets old but I needed the pay check. 
They spent time and money to teach us safety in all aspects. Arc Flash, Lock Out Tag Out, PPE, CPR and manager frowned on it. We never were given our PPE full gear that sat in the warehouse for over a year and is still there. 

Whatever personal problems, financial issues the supervisor and manager had were always took out on the 2-4 electricians who worked at any given time. 

I wanted to retire from the company but I couldn't take this for another week let alone 20 plus years. 

The owner is a great guy who does appreciate all his employees. I speak from experience and saw the good he did for others. I never went to HR because I always thought grown adults would grow up. 

Based on personal experience, the managerial practices at WT are highly concerning and raise serious red flags. In particular, the international sales department exhibits a troubling lack of transparency and fairness, including potential manipulation of numbers and the habit of scapegoating employees. The leadership within the department is ineffective, deceitful, and prone to excessive micro-management, favoritism, and a noticeable lack of business acumen. Unfortunately, senior management displays a complete lack of intervention or accountability, enabling the persistence of this toxic environment. The significant turnover rate within the department speaks volumes about these conditions. 
While there are a handful of very professional employees within WT, it seems unlikely that they can single-handedly turn the company around. I strongly recommend conducting thorough research and speaking with current or former employees before considering any position within WT. It is my sincere advice to prioritize your well-being and seek opportunities elsewhere, where professionalism and fair treatment are valued.

This was a great career opportunity for my family due to the 3rd shift hours.  On my first day the training was very fast and repetitive which is great but it's the training they lack and demand for you to move at extreme fast pace with no supervision or assistance on the production floor.  I was on the machine by myself and with it being my first day I wasn't sure what happened to to person the manager put me with I continued to make the mats and some ended up being strap "thrown away". Then the manager later came over and stood over me while I was cutting the mat and told me I was moving to slow and I only produced 150 mats and the average is 240 in a 8hr shift.  Which I feel should be explained in the orientation, it was not.  I was trying to learn and specific everything so I will not do anything wrong which I feel rushing through details creates more mistakes!  In any new environment the employer should give an employee at a 3 day trial to seen if they improve.  I was not given a chance.

What is the best part of working at the company?
50% Discount on mats, products. 
Benefits are overpriced but good 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Dead end job lots of favoritism and racism in this company. Only certain people managed chooses get opportunity to move up. They constantly lose great hard working people because they only value the ones that are problematic and snitches! god forbid you try to point out the problems and injustices in department! They don’t like that at all they’ll take you to the office with the supervisors and they will just say trust your lead basically your wrong and your lead and us are always right!  Management and HR are a joke super unprofessional and useless. Main lead in the department is always falling asleep! But somehow still has his job. Oh they also constantly look at you in cameras and complain your not working. So you always gotta look like your busy doing something.

I was a temp worker, working the afternoon shift, 8 hours a day, 5 days a week, not including an unpaid 30 minute lunch and a 20 minute paid break, for nearly six months. This temporarily increased to a mandatory 10-12 hours a day, five to seven days a week, depending on how busy it was during the holiday season. I picked mats, packed boxes, and stacked and wrapped palettes, all with a rotating team of people from our section of the floor. We often finished our orders early, and were given busy work or sent to other parts of the warehouse for the rest of the shift. The warehouse was air-conditioned, but still sweltering during the summer. Standard warehouse policies like "no phones or sitting down except during break" were in play.

This company sounds great on paper, but if you are working in the production warehouses I hope you like it hot. Your inside a big warehouse of a minimum of 12 giant ovens constantly going 24 hours a day. The heat is always 85° or even hotter and ventilation is really poor so your constantly sweating. The starting pay seems good at first but if you have a family the insurance is so expensive that it pretty much takes your pay from $17.50 per hour to like $12 because of how much they take out of your check for the cost of insurance. The discount on store purchases is good but not worth the time or money made, plus the higher up managers are always coming in a complaining about something and yelling always accusing people of stealing time

A typical day at work isnt anything special its a normal job, not difficult to do, the supervisors/leads make things seem more difficult than they really are, the hardest part about this job is just making it out there, the co-workers there are very polite and have the same attitude about the place of work. Management isnt their strongest point. If they continue down the same road with the managers they wont survive much longer but the most enjoyable part of the job is being there with all the different co-workers actually working(I am a person who enjoys to work). I gained from this job is that the only way to advance in this specific company is to suck up to everyone in there.

Working here consisted of leaving personal problems out the door before coming in. Log in to my computer and phone and prepare to serve our customers. Managers keep track of our calls, times off the phones, emails answered as clearly notified during the interview; that's what we paid to do. The hardest part was probably making our customers happy when they had no intentions of cooperating. Having to control our anger in order to provide the best customer service possible. The most enjoyable part was probably coming to an agreement with an irate customer and getting thank you emails about the service. Not to mention, great pay and comprehensive supervisors since my schedule for school got in the way a few times.
