True to Bob's Culture (Mostly) - Sales and Marketing Barry-Wehmiller Employee Review

Pros

Most people know Barry-Wehmiller based on Bob Chapman's message: Everybody Matters. For the most part, it's true. BW has a culture of recognition where, if you do your part, you will be noticed, and in some cases, recognized with awards such as the "Shine the Light award". BW is also known for NOT laying people off and it's pretty hard to be fired.

Cons

Your experience with BW may vary greatly depending on your leader or the specific business within Barry-Wehmiller (which is just a holding company for acquiring other businesses). Each BW business has its own culture, and due to the decentralized nature of the business and org reporting structure, oftentimes decision-making is slow and direction is unclear. Also, the company policies don't always live up to the cultural messaging. The company is self aware of these issues, but often due to politics, they can't get out of their own way to fix the problems.

Pros

Good pay but don’t promote internally.

Cons

Management lies and misrepresentations on comp. Lies about financial well being and performance. Overall disgruntled employees. Mgt is all talk no action. Total BS behind charts and spreadsheets.
