Columbia Distributing Company reviews

Executive team and most department leaders. Over the past few years, its has become obvious that growth is more important than company culture, employee moral and work-life balance. This unfortunaite trend has only been accelerated by the retirement of Gregg Christiansen. The new CEO is ruthless in his drive to grow the company and make a name for himself. While he often talks about maintaining culture and the value of all the employees, he is hiring and promoting an executive team that is requiring all departments to sustain a workload that is honestly unreasonable. If you can't or don't want to work 60-70+ hours a week to meet the new demand, no problem, they will let you go any find someone else that will. Work-life balance is gone and the company is quickly loosing the talent required to get them to the next level, which ultimately puts more work on those that stay. This isn't a sustainable business model and Columbia is in trouble if they don't change their ways.

- Hard, physical work - Long hours (summers often include back to back 55+ hour weeks)
