This was a new field of work in customer service. It was a small company with competition and many clients. Relied on customer service and client always being right. It was an unusual call center environment from most call centers. Calls were not always constant which was great. Calls were up and down, however the data entry of work required behind the scenes was overwhelming and you were expected to monitor, research and follow up on cases when the phones were slow or just stay after hours if allowed to "try" to catch up. Thing is, you never caught up. There were never a sigh of relief days. You were literally logging orders on a log and entering that same data in a computer system because the owner obviously did not want to have a program created that would allow the supervisor of customer service to just print a report of the staffs quantity of orders taken by the 5 reps there. The supervisor was required to supervise, train new employees and also took orders, an overwhelming responsibility she made a great attempt to do, but not always with success. Training was constantly interrupted by questions from the VP to the customer svc staff so you had no consistency. A little birdie informed me after a month of working that there was a high turnover of staff for about 6 months prior to my arrival. Sales reps were extremely knowledgeable of products and monthly staff meetings on the products and their functions were held to help customer service provide superior service about inquiries of products; another time consuming responsibility required. Reps were researching product information while customers waited on the phone or made follow up calls. Glad for the experience, but not the environment I wanted to work in. You can't be expected to be successful at a task if you are not trained properly. Not fair to the employee and just adds pressure on them.

Weber Scientific was entry level at best a couple years ago. No room for advancement and fairly low pay. The culture has deteriorated tremendously over the past 2 years. There are no core values, or at least none that are communicated to employees. Office gossip and favoritism runs rampant. There is an unfriendly culture and lack of care from management. Turnover is high. Employees are not recognized, rewarded or even valued. You are required to give your passwords to management. 

If you want to be bored to tears this job is for you. The job is mind numbing. Its loud. I was in a windowless room sealing plastic bags with what they call "samplers" Basically a sponge on a plastic stick with some sort of liquid in the bag. Boring, and mind numbing. Tge management acts like they are running a major business. Meetings every AM that turned out to be the latest Covid 19 numbers, reminders to sign up for Covid Vaccine and just general BS. 
Pay is poor. Environment is as numbing as the work. No air flow. Loud, depressing place.
Stay away.
 
 
 

A typical day at work would be coming in picking a few orders depending on how busy. Refilling pallet bins if needed and putting pallets up for storage. I learned how to operate a reach truck how to pick orders and pack orders. Management was fair. Co-workers were friendly and very team orientated. Hardest part of the job was working by myself when we were extremely busy. Most enjoyable part of the job was getting to restock the pallets and listen to my music working at my pace.
