Pros
The pros are irrelevant when the cons are are so bad.
Cons
Management says one thing and does another. They did away with incentive pay for glassblowers promising a fixed wage would pay more. This is only true if you work overtime. Upper management likes to boast about how much money the company is making, yet this doesn’t show in the paychecks of those doing the REAL hard work(glassblowers, potters, shipping, engraving, etc.). Managers will pit people against each other causing divisiveness and toxicity within departments. Employees are urged not to use the PTO they have earned. Safety standards and updated equipment needs are ignored. On paper Simon Pearce is an excellent company and that excellence lies in the everyday people working hard. These reviews are not “disgruntled employees” they are hardworking people who deserve to be heard and treated better.
