Advice to Management

Pros

Ardisam has grown and evolved tremendously in the 20 years I've been here. The path hasn't always been easy but the adaptability of this company to the ever changing world is very impressive. There is no shortage of opportunity and advancement if you're willing to work hard for it and produce results that matter. If you're not a hard worker who doesn't want to help solve problems then don't bother joining the team.

The best thing about my job is every day is different. It's not the same set of tasks day in and day out. Depending on the time of year, I perform different things within the product developmet department.

Things like benefits have improved, 401k match finally happened, Christmas party is great.

Advice to Management

Continue to get the proper resources weather it's the right people or the right tools to do the job. This has improved a lot in the last 5 years. Looking forward to the new headquarters building next year, it will improve everybody's work environment.

Pros

Hard working and community minded, both within the company and within the community. Strive to be competitive in the marketplace, as an employer. Great department manager. Besides the language, there is a positive atmosphere and outlook.

Advice to Management

Consider providing cash bonuses to everyone based on performance, not just upper management (?) and Sales. Product development cycle needs to be changed to a minimum of 18 months to prevent the cart being put before the horse season after season.

Pros

This company allows you to pursue your passions and gives you the building blocks to grow and achieve. The people are alway courteous and helpful and the work environment is always fun.

Advice to Management

Continue to visit and get to know your employees to create an environment of unity.

Pros

Ardisam has and instills core values second to none. If you don't believe in the values set by the company then it won't be a good fit for you. Challenging and Rewarding on a daily basis. Almost everyone gets along and resembles a tight knit family or group of friends.

Advice to Management

Keep communication open and bring information back from meetings as needed in real time to your employees. That keeps morale and productivity up.

Pros

Each year, I am seeing Ardisam grow more and more. There are opportunities that I hadn't imagined when I first started working here 5 years ago. Exciting changes and additions are happening, and I am seeing them as a continued trend.

People are fun to work with, and the teamwork is amazing.

Great Place to work!

Advice to Management

Keep listening to suggestions for employees. They may not have the exact solution to things, but ideas can be expanded on.

Always handle issues when they arise, so they don't become bigger issues.

Pros

Friendly, down to earth, co-workers that to like to make a difference.

Advice to Management

Still waiting for a break room.

Pros

Company growth potential is staggering. Having the opportunity to be a big influence on what products move toward production is fun and gives me a sense of connection to the end consumer. Management will work with you to help ensure a good work/life balance.

Advice to Management

Over communicate if need be. There is potential for career growth, but only if the employee recognizes position need. A little more help with an organization structure showing opportunities for advancement help people know what is available.

Pros

Strong growing company with a fun culture. Ardisam is a company that is dedicated to it's roots and stays loyal in it's small 2,000 population community. Looking for a busy, challenging career....come to Ardisam. This company is real inside and out and is passionate about the products it designs and the people they employ. Ardisam lives the outdoor lifestyle and that shows in the products it makes. Pretty cool place to work in the heart of Northwest Wisconsin.

Advice to Management

Ardisam give you the opportunity to create your advancement. You want advancement, you make it happen.

Pros

Dynamic, fast-paced environment with dedicated, talented and genuine people.

Advice to Management

Never stop improving. Communicate the vision to everyone.
