Literally everything else... terrible management, secretive waves of layoffs that somehow everyone finds out about anyway due to gossip culture in the office... more layoffs, even more layoffs... bills going unpaid, constant monetary drama with mills... wondering whether your product will be released... Upper management changing frequently... rumors constantly circulating about the imminent demise of the company... wondering how the place can possibly survive another year. Absolutely abysmal culture and moral in the office. No perks to speak of except free fabric swatches... very low wages- at least 10-15k less than other comparable jobs in the field. Health insurance is very expensive with high deductibles because of aging workforce in poor health (probably from stress!) Very sad since they once had a beautiful product line and good standing in the industry. Now customers don't want to be told that everything they choose is discontinued after 3 months of release... or is on backorder for 4 months. They have ruined their own reputation by not caring about customers and only the corporate bottom line. The last breath of life that was left in Robert Allen has been choked out by the merger with Duralee.
