Pros

Very successful company, there are some great people to work with and they do have a very nice 401k package.

Cons

Biggest con is all about teamwork, yada yada, you do 110% carry not only your workload but beyond and they keep piling on the work on then you mention someone else not even remotely working as hard and you are scolded as being a team player. In addition the vacation standards stink, health insurance is dreadful. End of the day if it is a good company but plenty of flaws they don't care abut as long as they are making money....

We don’t disagree with some of the concerns expressed in this review. In late May, we surveyed our entire company and we clearly heard that we have some overworked Team Members. As a result, we have further stepped-up recruiting and are adding to our Team to help lighten the load. We also heard that we need to be more flexible on vacation time and we are addressing that, as well. On the other hand, the great majority of our Team tells us they appreciate and value our health insurance plan. We thank the reviewer for pointing out our 401(k) plan which contains a substantial profit-sharing component. We are committed to making sure that as our company does better, our Team Members do better. Finally, we fully agree that we have a lot of great people! Steve Dehmlow CEO, Composites One

Pros

Worth the multiple interviews!! Amazing Benefits more than I could have expected

Cons

Strenuous Hiring Process, but worth it the company is very caring and they do their due diligence on vetting new hires. The first few weeks are planned very welll and the structured training process is Awesome!

Pros

Most of the employees are decent people looking for sincere connections from their coworkers while others fake it so they can gossip or tattle. Learned a lot about the industry in a short time especially since the work load continues to pile up even for new hires. Buyers are permitted to work from home two days of the week after their 6 month probation period.

Cons

Never ending side projects or improvements that require employees to change how they were taught even just months prior. Less than 2% yearly pay increase for a company of this size seems crazy. Parts of the annual performance review are based on factors out of the buyers control with no indication that the company has a plan to rectify it but someone the buyer is still held responsible. Some senior salesmen are permitted to be aggressive/demanding to new hires who are still learning their job. Very strong chemical smell in the Lakeland office whenever a styrene shipment arrives usually on a Monday which lingers in the office for a few days and can make it difficult to concentrate. Senior employees gaslight new hires that there is no smell or that it doesn’t bother anyone else. Management does nothing to try to ventilate the office and even make a big deal if asked to open a door for fresh air. Many employees are related to each other.
