Pros

Battery Systems strives to make their employees better as a person and as a employee. Wellness, Health and Safety is a huge part in the company. Being treated fair, they care about you, and your family are a few of many reasons I work for Batt Sys. Management team is willing to help you and I enjoy coming into work everyday. I've been with Batt Sys going on 14 years.

Cons

It's tough to think of any downsides at Batt Sys. I feel if you work for someone and they have policies you have to follow and types of duties for your position. If you don't agree with the duties and policies then you need to find another job. Of course there's a few reasons to complain about; like the printer isn't printing or I didn't get a chance to finish this task because you get curve balls thrown at you throughout the day.

Thank you for your insights! I am glad that you are benefiting from the WHS culture at Battery Systems. Having been with us for 13+ years, you have seen this grow into what it is today, and the commitment to continue to improve our outcomes personally and as a company. We want each team member to improve their current health, whatever that may be, whether that be overcoming an extra slice of pie, or giving in to distress over eustress because of a printer failing to print. :) Thanks for bringing up fairness too. Fairness is one of the attributes that our employees consistently rate our management team very high in. I am glad that you are finding this so. …Here’s to 13 more terrifically productive years! Best Regards, Todd Scott Director of HR

Pros

One of the best reasons to work at Battery Systems is the company culture. This is one of the socially healthiest groups I have ever worked with. They are genuinely interested in the health and balance of my life as a whole, and communicate that care by periodically checking in with me and asking questions. They also have a desire to reach out to the community at large in acts of service and I feel very proud to be a part of that. They have done a great job of accessing my strengths and assigning me work that I will both enjoy and succeed at. The benefits offered are some of the best I've ever had in my career. I wholeheartedly enjoy working along side my team. We work hard, but we also take time to laugh and check in.

Cons

The only downside for me has been the location of my office. I love to see a lot of daylight in my work day and unfortunately at the moment I am placed in an area that does not receive much sunlight. It's definitely not a deal breaker for me. I step outside for breaks and lunch as much as I am able.

Thanks for the kudos! We have to ask why would a company not be interested in the growth in life balance of their employees? It just makes sense to be interested in the growth of our people. Better people give better customer experience. I am glad that you are making the most of our LBA offering and seeing results. …sorry about the no window thing. You may just have to hang a picture and a sun-lamp. :) Best Regards, Todd Scott Director of HR

Pros

Battery Systems is a great company to work for. The company has a very family oriented mentality and wants to make sure that each employee has a good work/life balance. As an employee you are viewed as a team member, not just a number. The company is concerned with the safety and success of each employee. The first objective for all levels of management within Battery Systems is to "take care of your people."

Cons

Some travel may be required, but no much. In addition, the path for further career advancement within the company is not super clear. There are opportunities within the company, as it continues to grow each year, but the communication on what opportunities are available and how to capture them is somewhat lacking.

I like your suggestions! Thank you for taking the time. Yes, clarity around opportunity and continuous communication with the team is important. As a branch manager you know that knowing where each member of your team stands with you, with each other, with their customers, and in general life satisfaction is your duty to maintain. The pros that you list are conjoined with the advice as well. Life balance investment comes with communication. Perhaps this can improve with our management teams as well. Give me a call on this and we can talk about means to manage this right. Regarding growth, we are just big enough to have terrific opportunities come up, but small enough to not see these consistently presented. That does make for more crystal ball rubbing regarding future openings vs. known growth tracks for upper management positions. Still, I have seen many occasions where positions opened up, even significant moves to other states, for people that were bold to have a plan and ask for support. My suggestion is to talk about what you want with your supervisor or HR. Best Regards, Todd Scott Director of HR
