Poor Corporate Management & Training

Pros

Nice, professional local co-workers that give great customer service Great quality product Some good perks; free clothing, bottled water, drinks, fun events, etc

Cons

Some very poor 'thin-skinned' dysfunctional management in MN. Poor training for new employees, should be more than 1 week in Le Sueur. Poor communication (limited working relationship, mentoring and lousy support from HQ management in MN to employees (especially newer) at local regional showrooms. Poor on-boarding, not including new market or sales reps in important meetings, calls. Critiquing new employees when they haven't been told what to do, policies, etc Not hiring a full-time 'exclusive' training person who should be immediately spending face to face time in the field/showroom/plant, etc with newer staff. Not giving enough time and adequate interviews to hiring, every candidate should have a chance to interview in-person or via Skype with all superiors they will interactive with to insure that there is no personality clashes. Very poor base pay for commission structured employees, commission potential is pretty low and capped. Slow IT dept. No real HR dept. Provide laptop with lots of missing software making it frustrating to do your job and to submit expenses. Advice to candidate applying for a job at this firm; read all of these reviews. If you just need an interim job, it's tolerable, but this is not a firm to make great money or get ahead. If you a strong personality, you will not get along with management. Not a place to speak whats on your mind or concerns without the risk of losing your job.

Dear Current Anonymous Employee, Our new hire orientation and training is the most robust program in our industry. Every employee comes to our headquarters in Minnesota to spend an entire week onboarding and training. Many employees come back for several additional weeks of training depending on your department. I’m not sure what your expectations were for employment, but it’s clear that you are not a fit for Cambria. You may recall from your week long training we are a fast moving, performance driven and candid culture, it’s how we built this company. We encourage every employee with concerns, like you have shared in your anonymous review above, to share these with your manager. Have you done that?

Pros

Good team that worked hard. Decent wage, but needed to be considering the expectations. Opportunities for overtime were a plus even though not consistent each week.

Cons

Tough place to work. Management often overreacts to most every incident that goes bad. Very underwhelming benefit structure. Soft line personnel not supervised well making job more difficult dealing with hopper returns, clean up, communication, etc.
