Pros

Located in Burlington, VT area. Overtime not necessary, not much travel required.

Cons

Bully management style. Senior Management, and I mean VEO/President, who is no longer Richard Hall, it's Bill Reichert, has little to no respect for anyone. Claims he wants change, which is the farthest from the truth. It's his way or the highway. He thinks it's cute to intimidate and always answer your questions/recommendations three times with "NO". An immature, insecure less than leader quality. Management cowers to his ego in fear of losing their jobs.

Pros

Good peers to work with considering the culture.

Cons

Poor management culture. They post a "weekly change list", Basically everyone in the company gets to see how many people leave weekly. I saw how they hired a salesperson and Product Development in 2024, tap their knowledge and let them go within 3 months of their start date. It was done in a very cold and callous way. The training is almost non-existent before you are thrown to the wolves, because they are constantly late with product and find ways to stiff the customers on delivery charges. You are constantly fighting with angry customers. Customers refer to Champlain as, ChamPAIN. They have a guy out West that has gone thru like 6 salespeople since 2020, instead of addressing his poor people skills, they continue to allow him to manage people, AKA, the revolving door.
