Pros

You get to bring your dog in every day if they pass the not-so-stringent requirements. Relatively updated and clean campus. If you're part of a select group you can work mostly remotely. McBISSELLs.

Cons

WELP. Whoever said minimal politics in their review is out in left field. Being driven to post a review on Glassdoor after being cued off that the spiral of frustrations and departures at BISSELL is generating drama. I love BISSELL and want to see her succeed, but the lengthy reviews of those who formerly or are currently spending their time and energy making BISSELL grow over the years aren't wrong. Frankly, I hope the noise gets people to listen and change BISSELL. I saw a list of 30+ individuals rotate in and out of the department and/or subsequently the company before I did too, without much pomp and circumstance for time and effort. The sad part for me is that some think that the company and leaders do a good job to reward, recognize, and appreciate. We don't need constant 'attaboys' but, after the peaks and troughs in recent years, the sensitively is at an all-time high. Each review in late 2021 and 2022 speaks truth into the reality of many departments. At some point, leadership no longer can have their hands tied. Most associates are simply looking for empathy. I can't tell you how many times I said this when working on issues. Leaders might literally not be able to do anything as it comes to the challenges and your response in your role, but yes, telling associates that they can't help, and I believe the quote is 'nobody has a gun to your head, forcing you to stay' in front of a group of 50 associates is probably not a good look. That pissed a lot of people off which echoed across most departure conversations I had with former colleagues. One colleague in transportation said that was the exact moment many started looking... Me too. Taking away from BISSELL, I grew, gained some applicable skills for my career, and was yes, challenged. Does anyone want to change their job? No. But in leaving, I heard some of the kindest words from my colleagues-- it was validating in that regard, but gotta speak truth in love. I'll be cheering from the sidelines.

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.
