Pros
This is the tough part, other than being a guaranteed job for anyone who applies because they are so desperate to fill positions.
Cons
After working for Fortune 500 hundred companies and one of the top employee owned companies I can honestly say this is one of the worst companies to work for if you have anything going more than a high school diploma. My newly created position in R&D turned into being a gopher for the department constantly wasting my degree pushing slabs to have ready for display. If you have ever a college degree and want to be paid accordingly do not even consider Cambria as any company in Minnesota will blow them away. You do not get paid vacation for the entire 1st year and the pay is atrocious. As a Monday through Friday worker they skip out on paying you what shift workers made so although my hourly wage appeared higher I made less money than the most menial jobs at the plant that were held by some with out a high school diploma and I have a degree. When I asked for a raise to make wages even equal I was told. "Maybe you should just do their job then." When Cambria advertises for positions they do it in the most shady way they can publishing their premium wage that they will take away from any shift worker at the first chance they get.They stress Family owned and American made but they only care about the Davis Family. You know it is bad when even their engineers had to take all unpaid time off after the birth of a child and only took 3 days in fear of the plant struggling while they were gone. Safety is not their number 1 concern even if they state that it is. They say silicosis is 100% preventable there but the joke among workers was you only hit that 100% if you don'the work there. The quartz product as a whole is nice but no better than any other quartz surface, not worth the outrageous price, as management has told the sales team they are selling a brand not the product. This brand has a lot of issues to work out.
