Pros

They have a good 401k, they were super nice in adding the entire week off for the end of the year, that was amazing.

Cons

I have never seen a company where the leadership shows no gratitude, is almost never thankful and has nothing but negativity. Obviously this is not everyone, I deal with a lot of great people, but leadership, I would laugh at using at that word. This company should provide mental health days, typing this I want to cry for the level of treatment.

Reading this reviewer’s comments, I must say that I am sorry that we have even one Team Member who feels this way. Leading this company for over 25 years, I have continued the values that were instilled in our company by my family from the very beginning over 80 years ago. Every job is the most important job, and all our Team Members are important, and their work is sincerely appreciated. At Composites One, all our senior leadership work hard to create an environment of mutual respect, teamwork, and open communication. We deeply appreciate the tremendous effort our Team Members make every day to take care of our Customers. As pointed out in this review, our profit-sharing plan is especially good and designed to share the success of the company with our Team Members. This year, we also know that everyone needed an extra break and as recognition of this and our profound appreciation for everyone’s work, we added a solid week off to our usual holiday break. We regularly meet and talk with over 640 Team Members but, clearly, we missed in helping this reviewer know that there are additional paths to communicate concerns about how we conduct our work. We encourage open door discussions and our president & COO, Leon Garoufalis, and I always welcome and will listen to any Team Member’s suggestion or comment. Additionally, our Human Resources Team, led by VP Sharon Hansen, provide an anonymous channel through which Team Members can report any behavior inconsistent with our values – including shortfalls by the members of our leadership team. Feedback is crucial to our work to create a company that is great place to be for all Team Members and that takes exceptional care of its Customers. It continues to be my privilege to work with all our Team Members. Thank you. Steve Dehmlow, CEO

Pros

I really enjoyed my job there. Great place and people. Decent benefits and time off.

Cons

I cannot really think of anything to speak of that would be considered a con.

Pros

Very successful company, there are some great people to work with and they do have a very nice 401k package.

Cons

Biggest con is all about teamwork, yada yada, you do 110% carry not only your workload but beyond and they keep piling on the work on then you mention someone else not even remotely working as hard and you are scolded as being a team player. In addition the vacation standards stink, health insurance is dreadful. End of the day if it is a good company but plenty of flaws they don't care abut as long as they are making money....

We don’t disagree with some of the concerns expressed in this review. In late May, we surveyed our entire company and we clearly heard that we have some overworked Team Members. As a result, we have further stepped-up recruiting and are adding to our Team to help lighten the load. We also heard that we need to be more flexible on vacation time and we are addressing that, as well. On the other hand, the great majority of our Team tells us they appreciate and value our health insurance plan. We thank the reviewer for pointing out our 401(k) plan which contains a substantial profit-sharing component. We are committed to making sure that as our company does better, our Team Members do better. Finally, we fully agree that we have a lot of great people! Steve Dehmlow CEO, Composites One
