When it comes to the modification/manufacturing side of the business, you don’t truly know what your going to get each day. You don’t know if you’ll see your supervisor in the shop, you don’t know what kind of mood the group leader is in that day, you don’t know exactly how many modifications there are until that morning and you don’t know what time you are getting off work and going home. 
There is no control over the scheduling of orders. You may have a couple one day then get slammed the following day. The “mix” of modifications for the day varied which affected how long of a day you had. There is no control over the mix. Bottom line is that they all need to be done that day no matter how many orders there are. 
The group leader is inexperienced in a lead role. His lack of knowledge and lack of experience in a lead role shows everyday by the lack of communication, delegation, hypocrisy and the inability to be able to talk to an employee without giving them an attitude or belittling the employee. It’s ok for him to make a mistake, but heaven forbid if you made a mistake. He doesn’t train people properly or consistent to that of the “Work Processes”. 
I was there for 13 months and the only improvement I saw in a year was the improvements myself and another employee made to work stations and processes. As far as improvements made by the company or group leader to help the flow of things or processes, I didn’t see any that had a significant impact for the better in the shop. 

A little about the workplace culture: Primesource is the parent company with better benefits, but management is ego driven and reports they are sister companies. The information is out there. "Managers" are fueled by hubris and laid off an entire department, 30+ people for their bad decisions . People left careers with years of longevity for believing the history and integrity of Wolf:  180+ years-sure, but it is now owned by Primesource who is owned by a private equity firm. If you want to take risks in your future, Wolf will have something special planned for you.

During my brief experience, I learned I was more educated than my manager who took special pride in punishing me for it and treating me with the most passive aggression ever encountered. If you are competent and qualified, you will be rewarded by working elsewhere. Success and job security is only for those involved in nepotism and fraternization.

Management is a joke. Made up of literal clowns. They have crushes and cliques and treat it like it’s an actual High School. The one trainer is over the age of 60 and works from home. Training you on a computer.  The other never assists you because she’s always doing something else, and kissing up the manager. 
Work ethic? They  preach quality over quantity but belittle you if your numbers are low.  They say they’ll assist you.  That you can take your time on their 6 month training. But refuse to give you that additional time because they “can’t wait for you.”  They “can’t wait” because everyone leaves that place, so they decide to rush you instead. Orders are complicated and even if Customer writes wrong it’s on you. Horrible employment.  


Typical warehouse job.  There's different departments and the opportunity to learn to operate various forklifts.

They hire a lot of temps because the turnover rate is pretty high and they can't seem to retain people. 2nd shift supervisors are pretty cool.

There is a lot of favoritism and there are certain individuals that get away with stuff because their managers allow it and take care of them.

It also looks like there is a lot of people on drugs or high on something

Not a bad job overall, place is brand new and it's always busy. Their PTO policy is pretty nice 


The trainer on BP was nice. But the management is horrible. They have favorites. If you are not “one of them” you don’t fit in. The coworkers amazing ! Hands down friendly. But the managers are so unorganized, ignorant to each other as staff. You want in depth training and it starts off good but you are rushes and pushes along to the side without full help if the others beside the trainer. The office and break room are very clean and nice. But never again 

I have always loved the building materials industry and more specifically; outdoor living. This company not only allows me to be in an industry that I love, but I have heard countless times "Family first". Obviously, you are expected to be productive, but when you have people that understand that sometimes your family needs you, it makes you feel like more than a number or a replaceable employee. I am very happy here!

Opportunity to oversee and manage my own business region.  Management is supportive and is there to assist as needed.  Company is customer centric and is dedicated to providing quality product and is extremely responsive to customer needs and issues. Since joining Wolf Home Products I have been extremely impressed with work ethic and professionalism of organization.

Wolf is my first job since graduating college and is 100% my career. The support system from management and other representatives is unmatched and allow for newer employees to learn everything about the building industry. With the ability to quickly advance within the company, Wolf is a top-tier company.

What is the best part of working at the company?
The customers are great. That's it.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Driving illegally. No matter how many times you tell management you need straps or anything pertaining to the job and D.O.T. Regulations they just ignore you.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Long hours and no communication

This was the worst experience. Third shift supervisor is not helpful in training properly.  He sends out the team lead to do all the work. They hire through a temp agency. They do not take you on under the company after a few weeks, as promised. They let you continue to work under the temp agency for a lower wage. This was just a horrible place to work.
