Pros
It's a small company in Wisconsin. It's family owned and you can make some really good friends here.
Cons
Ariens has a lot of nepotism and 'friends of' hires. There's a lot of cliques and sets you can either be part of or get owned. There is constant blame. Middle managers even set people up to fail. They try and be a big company but most of what they do you could do in your garage. There is a great message with their core values and most employees follow it or at least try - middle management does not. I have been working for 20-years and have never been threatened, written up, or cussed out - I sure was here multiple times and with upper managements complete knowledge and even encouragement. The day I left was a great relief. A year later I had a good job for more money where I didn't need a prescription to go in the door. They try and make the place look and sound good but it's just window dressing.
