Pros

Many of the employees are really great, hard working, and kind people. They also have a nonprofit (BISSELL Pet Foundation) that is authentic and makes a real, positive difference in the community. Compensation seemed fair... to begin with. Their bonus program is another story.

Cons

Where to begin... for starters, I imagine many of these positive reviews that have absolutely no cons ("none at the moment"!) are written by the BISSELL favorites and "lifers". The primary issue with BISSELL is the evident favoritism and politics involved with moving up or even being recognized for your work. Many managers are only trying to enhance their career and save their own skin instead of helping employees. They are also growing rapidly but not willing to hire accordingly or even invest in the proper software to do the job correctly. The systems that are in place make it extremely difficult to move at the speed they are desiring. Lastly, as mentioned in some other reviews, many promises are made and never fulfilled. From what I heard from other associates, this seems to be an ongoing pattern.

Pros

BISSELL is a strong brand with quality products. They offer good benefits and have an on-site cafeteria that offers low cost/healthy options.

Cons

Staff are overworked and expected to put in long hours with no flexibility. Work/life balance is not possible and doesn’t seem to be a focus of the leadership or family. The organization provides the best technology so that you are always connected but in return do not offer work from home/flex schedule. It has a very corporate feel and leadership micromanage, creating extremely inefficient process. Mostly white male leaders with little diversity who get to sit in offices while everyone else is forced to sit in very open workspaces with few areas to concentrate on work.

Pros

- Upper management truly cares about everyone's well-being and work/life balance on some teams - Benefits are amazing (almost free healthcare) - Flexible work schedule for some (especially those with families)

Cons

- Middle management ruins it all for some. Be careful who you trust. Some appear to have your best interest in mind, but in reality can sabotage your career. - Hybrid work schedule seems forced. Some disciplines truthfully don't need to work from an office space. - Lack of ethnic diversity. It says a lot when you walk into any of the corporate offices and see the lack of ethnic diversity. Talent comes from diversifying not only intellectually, but ethnically and culturally as well.
