Pros

The people at BISSELL are amazing! Most talented group that I have ever had the pleasure of working with. When I first started at BISSELL, the atmosphere was great. People worked extremely hard and would do just about anything for the team and for each other. Bonuses were unbelievable! Facilities are top notch - the food at the Cafeteria is really good and the coffee bar is a nice touch. They really try to be a family company. The summer hours are great!

Cons

When the market changed and times were not so great, management freaked out and made some very poor decisions. A lot of really great people left and the culture morphed into uncertainty and fear. Culture became very competitive (by design from management) and the "it's all about the team" concept turned into the "it's all about me" concept. I believe the HR department should recieve the biggest amount of blame for this change. Nobody trusts them. A lot of decisions they made do not make any sense. They let go of a lot of really talented people.

Pros

The business remains one of the oldest family-owned companies in the US, that continues to see growth and success. There's transparency with results and we avoid the unnecessary fiscal exercises that are tied back to shareholder reporting with publically traded companies. The culture is one of respect and flexibility.

Cons

There are be some over conservatism at times, but the long history of success speaks for itself.
