President IS the problem
|
|
Exposure to BERNINA, great people and brand. The office space has been remodeled, break room has plenty of sunshine. Standard benefits package.
|
The organization is flat, you will encounter the President. He has favorites and mood swings. He has been through 2 marketing and 2 purchasing teams in 2 years. The new space is a cube farm with low cubicles. Lots of noise, no privacy.

Will his team of friends save the company? Probably not. Competition is killing you, not COVID. Industry is thriving without Brewer.

Not a Great Place to Work
|
|
Great health benefits
401K match
A few good people in the mix
|
Not competitive pay
A lot of Cliques
Not very diverse
Closed minded employees
A lot of gossip and unprofessionalism even in upper management (including HR)
Basically a cube farm with minimal growth opportunities

Hopefully over the years they've become more open to change and gotten the right people in the right positions. There were a lot of people who held positions for a long time and had the "this is the way we've always done it" type attitude. It was very difficult to shatter glass ceilings.

Free coffee
|
|
7.5 hour work day. Free coffee.
|
7.5 hours only applies to hourly people
salary employee prepare to work 9 and be paid for 7.5
No leadership. Management spends a lot of time in meetings but nothing improves and there is no communication. Very chaotic. Much insecurity and gossip. Management often conflicts each other.

Management is completely oblivious to the needs of their employees. HR is the worst I've ever experienced in the history of my employment.

Great Company
|
|
Awesome benefits - great health insurance, 401 K, vacation days (accrue up to 18 days your first year)
Relaxed environment with a casual dress code.
HR went above and beyond for employees - we had employee recognition parties once every quarter where HR would purchase the main course and employees were encouraged to bring side dishes, had "awesome awards" where you got a entered into a drawing for a gift card if you were "caught" going above and beyond your job description, organized Halloween parties, guacamole/salsa contests, etc with prizes - it was a very fun atmosphere where you can tell they care about employees and respect them.
|
The only real downside I can think of is lack of communication between some of the departments. There were times when I had to rely on the purchasing team for information to create catalogs and I was told I would have the info a certain day when in reality they wouldn't have it ready for me until a week later.

Work on the communication between departments, so everyone is in the loop and everyone can get their projects done on time.

Creative Industry with opportunity to wield multiple skills; small company; casual work environment; trade show participation, some travel, very few men

Lack of progression, not growing with the times, management says they want to change but don't. Board is focused on immediate gain and not on how to grow over time. management needs a clean sweep. Predominately female environment .

Sales Reps Need More Access to Sale Reports!
|
|
Great access to top of the line quilting and sewing supplies and resources. Freedom to make your own schedule.
|
Lack of access to sales reports and data that would help to focus goals and plans. The company is behind the power curve on its website. We need to have a mobile app - our customers have been asking for one!

No voice, no respect
|

Free coffee and tea, monthly luncheon. Close to home.
|
Management decides things and does not allow for any input. Downright disrespectful to employees.
