Ardisam Reviews

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

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.

Advice to Management

Recognize the customer service team, we do take a lot of the brunt of an unsatisfied customer, ice season is hard for everyone in the company but CS takes the worst of it .

Pros

People are friendly and pretty laid back to work with

Advice to Management

Take a look at the things that make people stay with a company and make some changes. I believe people like working here, but may not be able to afford to stay and still live a fulfilling life outside of work.

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

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

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.
