      Pros

      Some good employee perks, people really seem to care. Most of the managers have worked their way up within the company which says a lot for career paths. There is lots of change, but I think to work for a auto group that isn't stuck in the 70's you have to expect change. The owners are great, very nice people. I trust them. They are actively changing some benefits to be better for families which is really great.

      Cons

      Some people get worked up over change, but I think it's a good thing so that's not really a con

      Great Company, Cares About Growing Work-Life Balance

      Pros

      I've had a great experience working at Walser. This company really provides an avenue for employees to grow as much as they want. Senior management is motivated to grow future leaders in the company and to adapt to changing work-life needs of modern employees (they recently launched a paid parental leave program with four weeks of paid maternity, paternity, and adoption leave). I appreciate working in a place that seems committed to recruiting, retaining, and growing great talent in and out of the company.

      Cons

      I really cannot think of anything at this time.

      Pros

      Casual dress, some flexibility on hours

      Cons

      Where do I begin? I'm a full time employee working in the corporate office and I've been with Walser for over five years. The work environment has been deteriorating rapidly over the past two years. Walser's number one core value says "Do the Right Thing". Clearly, they forgot to add the words "for Walser" at the end of that value. Benefits are expensive, the maximum 401k match you can receive is 1.25%, and the one thing that was a really nice perk - carrying over PTO up to a sizable cap - is now being stripped away without warning. The management of the company is a joke. They are now eliminating the CFO position because it's not necessary. This leaves three executives to run the company. It feels like the Titanic and we're heading for the iceberg.

      Thank you for reaching out. We appreciate this feedback and the ability to improve upon the benefits and culture at Walser. Walser’s recent shift to an open PTO policy better facilitates an environment for employees to take time to recharge and spend time with family. We’re encouraging employees to plan and schedule time to meet their needs. This change is the result of thoughtful evaluation to better reflect the values of Walser employees. In 2018 company-wide values exercise, an overwhelming majority of employees voiced that ‘family’ was their most important value. This, in accordance with Walser’s recent announcement of paid parental leave and a first-ever automotive partnership with Care.com, is a way to bring that desire to life. Regarding Walser’s benefits, we are proud to say that Walser employee enrollment for healthcare was at an all-time high for 2019 plans. Plans include expanded mental health and behavioral services while costs remained flat from 2018. Meanwhile, the Twin Cities market saw double-digit plan increases across many corporations and mid-size businesses. We recognize the varying needs of our employees and work hard to continue making Walser a great place to work. Again, we appreciate the feedback and the chance to improve. Thank you.
