Ardisam Reviews

Pros

Product is fun to work on and with. Being a small company you can be quite involved with a product.

Cons

Zero leadership skills by upper management. Mostly driven by ego and who their friends are.

Pros

Being able to work so close to home is wonderful during the winter months. The company is constantly growing and coming up with new ideas. Everyone is friendly and helpful. They do go all out for employee parties such as Christmas and a summer picnic. CEO is always up front and honest with where we are at as a company weather we have money to spend or if hiring new people is becoming expensive.

Cons

Pay is very low for what customer service does, training for this position is very minimal and lacks the importance of the job.

Pros

Very close to home with extremely friendly people who are down to earth and love the product they make.

Cons

I believe there is definitely some nepotism which is somewhat to be expected as this company was founded by one or two families and has grown from there. I hope there is room to grow even for non-family.

Pros

Ardisam is a great company to work for! At Ardisam you are not just a number, everyone knows everyone's name and you work in a real environment. The people are as real (honest, hardworking, and down-to-earth) as they come all working in an industry that we are passionate about. I like that Ardisam tries to find people who are passionate about the industries that we make product in. We have a wide range of products that we design and in most positions you get to work with all of them, which keeps things different everyday throughout the seasons! Pros: People: Awesome people to work with and for. Products: Wide variety of outdoor products that I use everyday Culture- Ardisam hires people who fit the culture Location- Head Quarters is set in the middle of God's Country Pay & Benefits- Great Pay and Competitive Benefits Advancement Opportunities- Been able to move positions internally quite rapidly with hard work and dedication. Fun- the whole company works hard, but knows how to have a fun environment Balance- Gives you a great balance between work and family!

Cons

Hard work- If you don't like to work hard, than this place is not for you! Every career has cons, but I think Ardisam does a good job of selecting people that fit and are passionate about what they do, that there aren't too many employees that have a whole lot of negative to say about what they do, because they enjoy doing it. 99.9% of the time I love everything about my career at Ardisam and the good out weighs any of the bad.

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.

Cons

Stressful at times but most work environments are. I do believe if you're not stressed and have some pressure at times then you're probably not overly effective and just along for the ride. Successful people find ways to manage adversity and power through it.

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.

Cons

Multiple locations creates a lot gaps within the company. However, Ardisam is building a brand new HQ, which will bring the majority of the company under one roof!
