Degrading, no respect - Anonymous employee Composites One Employee Review

Reading this reviewer’s comments, I must say that I am sorry that we have even one Team Member who feels this way. Leading this company for over 25 years, I have continued the values that were instilled in our company by my family from the very beginning over 80 years ago. Every job is the most important job, and all our Team Members are important, and their work is sincerely appreciated. At Composites One, all our senior leadership work hard to create an environment of mutual respect, teamwork, and open communication. We deeply appreciate the tremendous effort our Team Members make every day to take care of our Customers. As pointed out in this review, our profit-sharing plan is especially good and designed to share the success of the company with our Team Members. This year, we also know that everyone needed an extra break and as recognition of this and our profound appreciation for everyone’s work, we added a solid week off to our usual holiday break. We regularly meet and talk with over 640 Team Members but, clearly, we missed in helping this reviewer know that there are additional paths to communicate concerns about how we conduct our work. We encourage open door discussions and our president & COO, Leon Garoufalis, and I always welcome and will listen to any Team Member’s suggestion or comment. Additionally, our Human Resources Team, led by VP Sharon Hansen, provide an anonymous channel through which Team Members can report any behavior inconsistent with our values – including shortfalls by the members of our leadership team. Feedback is crucial to our work to create a company that is great place to be for all Team Members and that takes exceptional care of its Customers. It continues to be my privilege to work with all our Team Members. Thank you. Steve Dehmlow, CEO
