Pros

They pay well for the area (not sure about manufacturing wages though)

Cons

They’ll tell you they’re flexible about working offsite but in reality leadership is doing everything they can to force people back into the office under the ambiguous guise of “culture.” Meanwhile everyone zooms from their desk all day anyways. All COVID protocols have basically been abandoned (they don’t even tell you when the person you sit next to comes down with COVID) and we’re back to the “butts in seats” mentality despite proving remote work can be done effectively. Nevermind plenty of other people get special permission to work remote but if you’re anywhere near the Walker location they WILL make you come in to the office - just be aware. Also prepare to work weekends and nights since managers and above send emails at all hours.

Pros

- On-Site cafeteria with talented chef - Ability to bring dog to work - Outlet store with employee discount - Nice facility overall

Cons

Reading these other reviews is frustrating. So many other associates (that have now left) have tried to change BISSELL for the better but it seems like they are unwilling to adapt. The "No Cons at the Moment!" in negative reviews is clearly current BISSELL associates that have been with the company for many, many years and are trying to seed good reviews in order to attempt to bury the negative. Please don't make the same mistake I did and accept a position here, unless you are absolutely desperate and miserable at your current position. They will sell you on the "ideal" of BISSELL, which is very far from reality. Prepare to work intense hours for little to no reward, change strategic direction every 4 - 6 months, and not have your opinions heard.

Pros

- Dog friendly work place - Half day Fridays - Outlet store product discounts - Bissell Pet Foundation

Cons

The 1 to 3 star reviews provide an accurate depiction of this company in regard to how associates are treated and business is conducted. Anything higher than a 3 star is either an individual that has been at Bissell for more than 5 years & doesn’t know what a toxic workplace is or they are a leader trying to skew the star ratings. Bissell will continue to lose employees if they do not fix the way people are treated and the overwhelming workload using outdated systems. This includes looking at the product marketing leaders that have lost multiple employees from their teams, especially those who have left without having a job lined up. There is a clear lack of respect from leadership toward executional roles and proper training for people leadership. There is a tone that you should comply with the current narrative and put blinders on toward the blatant issues we are all facing. Not a single person looks happy when you walk the aisles in the building, it's depressing. A senior leader recently told a large group that we are "all leaders and are responsible for providing inspiration”. This was a literal cop out from the responsibility of being a LEADER and addressing how the high attrition rate will be solved. That single comment is a great representation of the current atmosphere at Bissell.
