Advice to Senior Management

I cannot think of any advice to offer the management.

Pros

The corporate culture is very supportive. The company is very flexible with time-off. Special projects are assigned periodically. Each November, the company conducts a United Way Pledge Drive, with very high response levels.

Cons

As with all companies, this company is currently experiencing the challenges brought about by the current economic situation.

Advice to Senior Management

I appreciate the weekly updates provided to employees at all levels of the organization on a weekly basis. This shows a level of transparency that is not common.

Pros

Pacific Coast Feather, Corp office - Great benefits and work environment, there is a general feel of family promoted among the employees. In most departments there is a general expectation of personal responsibility and so micro managing is not the norm. At times it may feel as though I work for myself. There is an employee gym along with locker room facilities. There is also a game room with ping pong, air hockey and foosball. Pacific Coast Feather will give people chances other companies won't. I.e. take people with less experience and train them. Pacific Coast Feather is a great place for non management employees to gain experience needed before moving to a higher paying company. The employee discounts on company bedding products are awesome. Sometimes 50 to 70 percent. Over all Pacific Coast Feather is a great place to work.

Cons

Because of low textile industry profits, respective jobs tend to be below what other industries pay for the same basic skill sets. Because of the lower profits, fewer people are expected to carry a larger work load than other companies might expect. There is a majority of long term employees in management, (10 to 25 years and so the chance of advancement may be determined by a retirement.

Advice to Senior Management

Move to a strictly pay by performance system rather than a yearly percentage increase.
Pay bonuses by performance rather than flat percentage per year.

Pros

In a small company you tend to get higher-level experiences you wouldn't get at a bigger company. It's a very casual, friendly environment and they're committed to educating and training employees in whichever field the employee wants.

The management team is skilled and they have a very good open-door policy, which makes it easy to ask questions, learn and understand various issues.

Great place!

Cons

They're in a tough market, so bonuses can be affected and layoffs sometimes happen. Also, politics are an issue.

The parking policy can be a little rough, since the parking lot has no room for expansion.
