Pros

Weekends off, early hours. Decent insurance

Cons

RTC stands for Respect Teamwork Communication. Like any company value, it sounds great, but the reality is this. Respect is a one way street here. You must respect everything going on no matter how wrong it is for your safety, company profit, ethics, or peace of mind. On top of being forced to accept the managerial disrespect, if you politely express your concerns you will be ignored totally. When your concerns get ignored enough and you become rude, then they are quick to throw this RTC in your face with threats and the problem in their eyes becomes only that you are rude and they totally ignore the disrespect that made you rude. Left now with the only option for me to address issues is to go over their heads to high upper management, or resort to filing complaints with government agencies, or just document and keep good records to protect myself during any type of litigation.

Respecting each other is an important part of how we conduct business at Composites One – with our customers, with our suppliers and with each other. We know that establishing and sustaining an excellent culture is an ongoing endeavor and there is always work to do. If any Team Member addresses an issue locally and feels they are not being heard, they can reach out to me or any other Leadership Team Member directly, at any time. We strive to create an environment at Composites One in which all Team Members feel valued and contribute to our customer’s success. After a team member addresses the issue locally and feels they are not being heard, they should feel they can reach out to me or any other Leadership Team member directly - always. Leon Garoufalis President & CEO

Pros

Corporate office is awesome! They practice what they preach. RTC! Respect, teamwork, communication. They have an open door policy so it isn’t the usual up the ladder chain of command. Compensation is decent.

Cons

The management team at their locations do not practice the companies core values. They expect perfection at every turn. Human errors can only occur once in a blue moon and you better have a good reason to make a mistake. Overworked overworked overworked. So many customer accounts on one person and when management was notified about needing relief, their answer is “well ask the team for help” and that is how errors happen. They fire good hardworking people and hire new ones that are even worse off. If you have a family, young children, etc. this is not the place to work. Work comes before family. Staying out with a sick child, doctors appointments, or doing anything with your family is impossible. Single parents really catch the sharp end of the knife at this “family owned business”. Work from home opportunities have so many restrictions that you don’t want to work from home. Speaking with managment about anything personal going on in your life (for transparency) is held against you. Perfection is key to this company. If they don’t like you, at the end of the day, they will do anything to put you in the hot seat and get you out of there.

At Composites One we are always disappointed to hear that a Team Member is less than satisfied with their employment experience. We believe that our culture is what makes our company a unique and wonderful place to work. Our Leadership Team takes seriously the work life balance of our Team Members, and we actively engage with our locations with regular Team Meetings, virtual town halls, fresh communications on our company Intranet, social gatherings. We also have an “open-door” environment where any senior leader is only a phone call away for anyone choosing to reach out. We offer flexibility for our Team Members to work from home when needed, and some roles are home when needed, and some roles are even hybrid or remote. However, we are a company that provides products and services to manufacturers, and our locations are set up to take care of those customers locally with a Team that is in-house and ready to serve. At the same time, we care deeply about our Team Members and have many long tenured people in various positions. We believe that by working together as a Team and supporting one another when needed, creates an environment that sets not only the company up for success, but also our Team Members. Yes, we work hard at Composites One, but we also have fun and many of us have formed lifelong friendships here. Yes, it is a family-owned company, and because of that our Team Members families are at the core of many of the excellent benefits we offer like 401k match, profit sharing, bonus plans, generous time off and dedicated sick days. We love knowing we are setting our Team Members up for long-term success and knowing this benefits their spouses, partners, children, parents, and extended family members.
