Pros

USCutter has experienced rapid growth. Some of the more negative reviews here reflect those challenges. I know some of those people had hurt feelings that were probably the result of poor communication, however I disagree with the notion that there is any type of negative culture here. It is an evolving culture that has yet to find its identity. There has been a steady amount of new hires to either add to the company or replace people who have left. This has been a positive as it reflects the company's desire to get better. Change is hard for a company and USCutter is no exception, but it has been a catalyst for its continued growth. I respect that management is willing to make changes in areas that are not performing and coach employees that show potential. Managers here take the time to listen. Although I don't always agree with every decision, I feel like I can walk into the President's office at any time if I have a real issue and he will take the time to listen to me. Though the view may not be shared by all, I think the new ownership will be a huge benefit for USCutter in the long run. In addition to getting health care for the first time, we were given dental, life and disability insurance, and a matching 401K. Finally the company is pushing forward by adding new products like Latex Printers and 3D Printers. Selling online is a blast!

Cons

USCutter continues to struggle with training. Some people get it and some don't. Much of this has to do with growing pains as well as human resources to handle the training. They have struggled with keeping enough staff in the technical support dept.

Pros

USCutter is fast growing company that is constantly improving. Most of the employees who work here are nice, creative, and strive to make the workplace an enjoyable place to be. They work hard, and play even harder. I worked here before and left to focus on another career opportunity just to find myself missing the fast paced environment. Now I'm back and loving it.

Cons

USCutter is still very young in mindset and is slowing transitioning to become a more structured company. It feels like a startup and requires go-getters and entrepreneurial characters to progress. In short, it's not for the faint of heart. There is a lot of room for career advancement, but you need to have the right mindset.

Pros

Great place to advance your career within the company!

Cons

The owners of USCutter own lots of plastic companies across North America and act like a money lending company. If we have items in stock for longer than 4-5 months it becomes aging inventory and they start to charge interest on said inventory, This leads to us running out of stock constantly and also takes away profitability for the month and any chance of a bonus at the end of the year.
