Cons

Bad Management... Give you no Product Training what so ever but expect you to know the product... Want Assertive employees that show no empathy... Keep you in the dark about Their different customer requirements and pinpoint every single mistake out loud in front of other employees...EVEN THOUGH THEY ARE MINOR No fun... They rip apart their Distributors and call them LIARS AND CROOKS ESPECIALLY RICHELIEU. They get annoyed when the phone rings... very unprofessional...was doing all the crap work and entering orders....High turnaround..... THEY always talk behind each others back.. and send stupid instant messages that are useless with Animations....Unprofessional....:( They are snappy with newer employees and don't like tooo many questions... They have Product Specialists but that don't actually answer questions and phones ...They let Customer Service deal with all the crap...AND GET ANNOYED WHEN WE ASK PRODUCT QUESTIONS .....SUPER BAD EXPERIENCE Tension in the office...stress leaves.. people sick and still coming to work.....Very nasty to their customer and end user...

Thank you for your review. We would like to provide some additional facts for consideration: Blum has a great reputation in our industry. We pride ourselves in our ability to build and maintain great partnerships with each of our distributors. Have been partners with Richelieu Canada for 35 years and Richelieu USA for over 20 years. Additionally, we have maintained relationships with over 100 other distributors for 10 years or more. Our new employee ramp-up training for a position like this requires us to invest a considerable amount of time and effort so we can be sure we are setting up a new hire for success. We like to follow logically sequenced building blocks, working from basics to more complex training sessions that span a considerable amount of time. Most importantly, we encourage our employees to work well together rather than independently.

Pros

Beautiful office environment/clean well kept facility, great vacation time, average other benefits. Nice people. Good place to start your career. Leadership lacking in some areas as far as mentoring/inspiring/ability to coach others.

Cons

Small organization - not a place to advance your career. Too many managers in some departments. Compensation on the low end of scale.
