Pros

Opportunities for Proportion Nice Pay Good Vacation Time Great Brand Great Product Great Clients Philanthropic Great Events Great Marketing Campaigns Cambria does give you a since of pride to work for them. Family-Owned and American Made product. Easy product to work with in that sense.

Cons

Overworked Overwhelmed Lack of Training No respect Employees are expected to know everything right out of the gate and they punish you for making a tiny slip up instead of offering additional training. Upper management talks about "direct communication" which is not the case at all. Management will discuss every step you take behind your back while setting up "tests" for you to fail/succeed. They do not offer additional training or support. The 6 week intense training course at the start of employment is not applicable to the every day. Management leads with intimidation and feels like bulling. They do not help employees to succeed and grow. Management makes it virtually impossible to keep up with their demands. The "since of urgency" that is always mentioned is not a good way to work on time-management skills. Management expects that you have everything done with no time to do it in. Working weekends and nights is not uncommon. I truly think this is a good company with a great product, however management has a lot to sort out to keep good talent on board.

Great Product, Poor Culture

Pros

Great product - it sells itself.

Cons

This company does not value their people. There is a very high turnover rate and the culture is not a positive one. Management is rude and they do not take the time to listen to their employees they manage. The folks at the bottom of the pyramid are not treated with respect.

Pros

Best product in the industry for sure Unparalleled after sale service Cutting edge designs Company car Often get to attend fun events and possibly travel to cool places

Cons

I think the new c suite has really damaged the company. Cambria established itself as the premium quartz brand over years, but in my opinion has failed to live up to that lately. I believe that the failure hinges on a disconnect between the CEO and the c suite, particularly in regards to sales and operations. This infighting has trickled down, and sales is forced to overpromise and while operations is doing what they can, I saw a measurable decline in quality, particularly regarding color consistency, which is unacceptable for a premium product. I also think the company is suffering from tunnel vision. Leadership expects every sales rep to operate exactly like the whole country is Los Angeles. Tons of in person sales calls are required, but with several different routes to market, incomes, and geography, these ubiquitous standards don’t make sense. Leadership has insane micromanagement (cameras in cars, location tracking, ect) to track sales reps every breath, And in order to obtain these unrealistic expectations, the sales team has become an army of yes men/yes women who are forced to alter behaviors to get calls in. Those who wouldn’t play the game were either fired or left which is why there has been such an insane level of turnover. With the emphasis on in person visits, I actually felt that I was becoming annoying to my partners, rather than helpful, but I had to see them in person to get calls in. Market representatives should instead be focused on selling the product. On top of all of that bonus structure is pegged to an arbitrary team goal, with no accountability for individual performance, further decreasing incentives for strong sales.
