Pros

They work with you on flexibility

Cons

You only get promoted if you run with the "in" crowd. Management is extremely biased and gossips to their favorite employees about confidential information of other employees. Horrible pay. They have "town hall" meetings telling you how they are raking in millions of dollars per month but never give more than a 1 or 2% raise. The HR dept consists of the most UNFRIENDLY people you will ever meet and they are not helpful in any way. You are always told to call their insurance company with questions because the insurance girl doesn't know squat. Building is disgusting and way outdated, but if you like working with roaches and centipedes then by all means. Their health insurance is horrible. Turnover is so bad because people don't listen to these reviews and apply elsewhere, then get in there and realize how awful it is. They don't train worth crap. Nothing is standardized or structured. The old CEO Rodney really did care for people, but his son Brad only cares about money and himself and has really run the company - especially the morale - into the ground. People really used to enjoy working there, but not anymore. Everyone constantly complains and it's a depressing and stressful place to work. Definitely NOT worth it for the little money they give you. But the Wasserstrom's will roll into work (if they even show up) in their nice Lexus cars and SUVs. The people who have left and found new jobs (including me) are way happier that we left.

Pros

Wasserstrom has a strong core of long‑tenured associates, which speaks to both the stability of the company and the quality of the work environment. The average associate tenure is over a decade, and with more than 123 years in business, there is a deep sense of history, craftsmanship, and commitment across the organization. Many associates have built long careers here, contributing deep knowledge and a genuine willingness to mentor, collaborate, and support one another. One of the company’s unique strengths is the close connection between the corporate office and the shop floor. Having these teams physically and operationally connected creates strong alignment, real‑time collaboration, and a shared sense of ownership in the work being done. While the company values its traditions, it is also forward‑thinking and continues to invest in innovation, process improvements, and new ways of doing business. Turnover is low, associates take pride in what they build, and it shows in both the quality of the work and the overall culture. Leadership is approachable, teamwork is encouraged, and there is a clear emphasis on safety, consistency, and continuous improvement. Associates are given opportunities to learn, grow, and build lasting careers while contributing to a company that continues to evolve and innovate.

Cons

Because the company has many long‑serving associates and established processes, the environment may feel more structured or traditional for those who prefer constant change.
