Air-Weigh Reviews

Pros

The people are awesome! Very involved in the entire process for new products.

Cons

Small company so there is lots of work to be done

Pros

Small team helps promote a friendly atmosphere. Small code base allows for quick on-boarding.

Cons

Software team could use a manager. Software development process could be improved.

Pros

The company provided free soda. Honestly that is it.

Cons

Very low starting pay and commission Unreasonable expectations Lots of cold calling Over priced products New management created a toxic stressful environment firing half of the staff Lots of inter-office back stabbing. Stay away from this place if you at all have the option.

Pros

Bonuses for the initial two months of "training"

Cons

If you have over 10 years of sales experience, but have moved from out of state/country so you are unsure what salary to request and ask them to be fair to you, they will pay you less than someone with zero previous experience because they think you wont find out. If you have an accent that one guy doesn't like to hear but wont close his office door, they will move you away from your entire team to sit alone in a corner even though you are new and need support from your team because their training is awful and they will have you trying to sell to people even if you haven't been taught how to actually process a sale. I was literally in tears every day that I worked there and I only stayed for 2 months until I found something better. I would encourage anyone who is considering Air Weigh as an employer to look elsewhere. There's nothing but toxicity here, by far the worst place I have ever worked and I have worked retail and fast food in my student years.

Pros

Kind people, nice location, interesting domain.

Cons

Slow moving in terms of innovation

Pros

Benefits, Time off, stayed open during COVID

Cons

If micromanagement is your thing, then this is the place for you. If you are self directed and have ideas for improvements, run as fast as you can. The working environment sucks. People hardly interact with each other. I have never seen a company that has so many miserable introverts. Management doesn't do a thing for morale. They are too busy figuring out how to delegate their work to someone or how to get their ego fed. From what I have observed, management doesn't even seem to like each other. Two managers we believed to be an urban myth because they didn't have to work in the office. Even though the company stayed open during COVID, they have tried to make every step you make in and out of work their business to prevent COVID. One rule is you have to notify your supervisor if you have family fly in to visit. Once the visit is over they expect you to quarantine for two weeks. I had family from Washington, Tennessee and California visit while I worked there. I didn't disclose that. It is not their business. I was not going to go without seeing my family because I would have had to quarantine several times. I can't afford to do that. We also were banned from eating in restaurants on our lunches. You might get contaminated. Nevermind that I took my child to urgent care the night before where I could have picked up COVID a lot easier than sitting in a restaurant with a friend or family member. There is no logic to their guidelines. The rumor was the guidelines were put in place by a super paranoid manager. Most of us ignored them. There is no opportunity for growth. Higher paying jobs would come open and we had to find out about them online. There was no internal process for promotion. You were put in the job they want you to rot in. I was there so long, a lot of this I didn't realize wasn't normal until I left. I felt sorry for the person that took over my job. They ended up with zero training. I gave two weeks notice and they were still looking for someone to replace me. it is the most unorganized place I have ever worked. I now work for a company where people interact with each other and have fun while we are working. Nice change of pace.

Pros

Central heating and air conditioning

Cons

Apart from the racism, sexism, and violent political rhetoric that became such an insufferably intimate part of my professional life at Air-Weigh, I’ve never had the misfortune of working with a more petty group of over-inflated yet fragile competing egos in all my career. I was uniquely disallowed from ever closing my office door so their was no respite. The first red flag was that my predecessor had the look of a woman working in constant terror. It made a perfect academic case study on what not to do in terms of organizational culture and psychological security. It’s the kind of place where if you fail, they will dig your grave; and if you succeed, they will burry you because they are so threatened to see another person do well. They have no understanding of the word TEAM and regard each other with a degree of paranoia that borders on mental illness. Even top management are subjected to a degree of micromanagement that extends far into the realm of absurdity. They shout and demean each other in meetings. They are a bunch of bullies that will do everything in their power to hinder your efforts out of sheer resentment for the expectation of collaboration. They will put you down, stick a finger in your face, and flat tell you that you’re no good, to your face and in front of others, for no reason other than to put you down. If you find an opportunity for improvement in the organization per your charge, they will attack you personally as a knee-jerk reaction. They will say one thing and then claim to have said the opposite and act like you’re stupid or crazy when you try to hold them accountable . . . don’t think I can emphasize enough . . . this is an organization that functions much like a house full of children with no babysitter. They have a dire need to commit themselves, from the top down, to a radical cultural shift that includes diversity, tolerance, respectful professionalism, communication, collaboration, and accountability. I don’t believe they will do so and they will likely fail to pull themselves out of the gutter of financial ruin in which they presently find themselves because they are so deeply divided. As it is now . . . If you are offered a job at Air-Weigh, do everything you can to break a tooth. Then on your first day of work, see if you can schedule a root canal instead. You’ll probably loose your job but you’ll be saving yourself a lot of pain.

Pros

The CEO is one of, if not THE, best boss I have ever had. He lets me fly the plane, but also knows when to intercede when there is a bit of turbulence. Leadership like this motivates me EVERY day. I want to succeed for me, for the Company and for the leadership. This is the best job I have ever had.

Cons

The rapid sales growth has the current Company resources stretched a bit thin and some levels of support can take a little time to manifest themselves. Growing pains.

Pros

Come to work and do your job, be on time, and Air-Weigh will be a great place to work at. I have been with Air-Weigh for almost 15 years, and plan on staying longer.

Cons

With any company, sometimes you have changes that are not that great, but overtime they usually get corrected.

Pros

Great benefit package, 401k plan and stock option. All the employees are hard working and easy to get along with; truly care about the company. The workplace environment is very clean and comfortable. Some schedule flexibility, depending on your position and department.

Cons

The pay is okay, but could improve.
