Pros

Ariens Wholegoods in a great company. Dan Ariens is a great leader. Ariens offers average benefits, Flexible hours, employee purchase program. Meet some great co-workers.

Cons

Ariens Specialty Brands in the Janesville location is not going in a good direction. The upper management is very poor and do not know what direction to go or what they want to do. They do not listen to their employees, are exploring areas of business that are a huge risk to the overall business due to the degree of change. Feels like the culture is becoming a back stabbing culture here as they are eliminating positions to try to make up the budget gap.

Pros

Great experience to build your resume, mostly due to a lack of clear role definitions and being asked to do tasks outside of your scope of work. The engineering department is full of dedicated workers just trying to survive the whims of the Ariens children.

Cons

"Be Honest" - Upper management lies and intentionally misleads employees "Be Fair" - There are huge discrepancies in pay and responsibilities for the same job titles "Respect the individual" - Long hours and "unspoken expectations" make you feel like a number that's only as good as the amount of slop you can deliver "Encourage intellectual curiosity" - There was never anytime to try anything new or come up with multiple solutions let alone do anything innovative.
