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

The credit analysts are wonderful and will treat you with respect but even they are afraid of management. The vacation benefits are good

Cons

The managers are mean and afraid to speak up and they don't communicate and I'm telling you if you get hired unless you're strong inside your stomach will hurt everyday you pull into work

We sincerely appreciate your feedback. At Composites One, we are committed to a workplace based on respect, teamwork and communication. I personally read your comments with great disappointment that we missed the mark for you. We always want our team members to know they can comfortably approach their supervisor with any concern about their workplace or reach out to another manager if an issue is not resolved satisfactorily. Recently, we have launched a training initiative for our managers and supervisors to help them become more effective leaders in working with and developing their teams. We will use your input to reinforce the importance of this training. Composites One would not be the leader that we are within our industry without great team members who feel valued and respected. Overall, we are proud of our team member retention rate but work to continually improve their experience. I am sorry yours was not a lot better. Steve Dehmlow CEO, Composites One
