There are none except for a handful of nice coworkers

We received your review and noted you made your review "anonymous" probably due to the fact that you are a current employee. Fair enough. Many reviews note a positive experience with co-workers. Gibson Homewares being a family-owned and operated business is fair game for claims of nepotism. That said, as the next generation of family enters into the company business, from my experience, they are ALL very competent at what they do. They are the company leaders of the future. It makes sense. The company is not putting anyone into a role they cannot do, that would be detrimental to the business. Gibson Homewares makes our products is many different countries, usually in the country where the materials are indigenous for that product. Buy for less, sell for more, that's one way to do business. That business model is still valid. Gibson does promote from within, however that process and timeline varies among individuals. The terms used in your review "worthless people" and "harassment" are indicative of your general dissatisfaction overall.

Negative reviews usually come from former employees, as in this case. It's unfortunate when both parties enter into a mutually agreeable, beneficial agreement to start and end this way. Especially a work relationship that lasted three years. Clearly something changed, but to say there are "no pros" to working for a company doesn't make any sense. It appears there was a "trigger" that caused a series of events which ended with you leaving the company, and eventually this review. Gibson Homewares is a family-owned company, so the comment on nepotism is noted. However if should also be noted that the company employs competent team members in every position in the company, with no regard to nepotism. Regarding your comment about the company having "incompetent" people is just not accurate. Clearly, you had some negative event that led to your negative impression. We appreciate your years of service and hope you are in a better work situation.

Thank you for your review, it is helpful to others. And thank you for your comment about having great teammates at Gibson. Compensation (payroll) is usually the biggest line item for any company. We do our best to manage that company expense in our extremely competitive business. Thank you for your advice, it is well-noted. And, thank you for your years of service!
