Pros

I am stealing this review from a colleague because it's simply too eloquent and accurate to improve upon, particulary in the most recent months at this company: Communication! They love it. They hold a meeting about having a meeting, and still manage to leave everyone more confused than a chameleon in a bag of Skittles. Better have a meeting to clarify! Mandatory team-building activities! Cringe-worthy events where they force us to bond by writing our fears and sharing with your coworkers over zoom. I'd rather swim with sharks wearing a meat suit than participate in another one of those. Bonuses are a part of compensation- but just don't expect them to be paid. Paid once in last 4 years.

Cons

Management always talking about "open-door policies" and "ask me anything" but it's like searching for Bigfoot or Atlantis when you actually need their help. If you've always wondered what it's like to work in a circus, here is your chance.

Pros

Really fun people work here, if you can escape enough of the office politics. Fiskars tools are really good, and the employee discount is excellent.

Cons

Middle to upper management is so concerned with being let go that they micromanage everything. There is almost no hope of advancing unless one of the leadership team really likes you, but middle management makes sure you get almost no face-time with any of the upper management. Management says they want to improve and have an open door policy, however, in practice this is not the case.

Pros

None. Had to enter 5 words here, so I'll just say none again.

Cons

Poor structure and complete false advertising. Lure people away from other companies only to eliminate positions.
