Was a very good company when Bill Gehl ran it (prior to the sale to Manitou), not so much now. - Anonymous employee Manitou Group Employee Review

Pros

They have vending machines with free coffee. Good local management at the SD facilities.

Cons

Nepotism runs rampant at HQ, along with inappropriate personal relationships with employees at the highest levels. CEO now has all his kids working there. Hard work and integrity is not a recipe for advancement at Gehl. French owners (Manitou) were not very involved while I was there, for better or worse.
