Thank you for devoting a significant part of your career to working with us at ELLWOOD. We are honored to have a great many employees who have given not only 10 years, but 20, 30, 40 and even 50+ years of service. Being a family owned and operated business for 110+ years, we have remained an employer of choice, which draws generations of family members from the communities of which we are a part. We have remained in business for all of these years due to our lean operating structure, which has allowed us to navigate business cycles and difficult economies. While we continue to offer a competitive compensation package, unexpected changes are sometimes necessary to weather storms like COVID-19.

Pros

Good environment and the company does care about the employees. There are opportunities to learn and advance and high performing employees are rewarded. Lots of great people to work with.

Cons

Market diversification needs improvement. The downturn in oil and gas and changing market dynamics make for tough conditions but there is a focus on growth.
