Thank you for your feedback. Sorry to hear that you had a negative experience during your time with Alene Candles and that a Supervisor displayed unfair treatment. Respect is an important part of our culture and one of our core values. While everyone should feel comfortable expressing their feelings, it’s important for our employees to be treated fairly, feel valued, and appreciated. Communication and listening skills are opportunities for development and we have dedicated training each year for our Managers and Supervisors. We’ve also brought Conscious Leadership training to Alene to help reduce drama, promote candor and eliminate gossip in the workplace. Every interaction allows us an opportunity to learn and grow. Again, I appreciate your feedback. Best of luck in your future endeavors. Thank you, Operations Team

As the Plant Manager it is a privilege to lead such an awesome team, including yourself. I love being able to take time to get to know each of the over 400 employees that work for Alene. We are struggling to find the right people for our leadership positions. I want to ensure that we have a leadership team that engages, listens, analyzes situations and then reacts quickly to employee needs to make our team stronger. We are also looking for leaders that can help develop and teach our future candle makers to excel in leading people and grow in the organization. I agree, I see the morale improving each day as we head into our busy season. We have already come such a long way in a short amount of time and I can’t wait to see what tomorrow brings as we continue down this path. Thank you, Evan Plant Manager

Pros

Management is very good at realizing a job well done and showing gratitude for good work and they also encourage everyone to push themselves to learn new things. Employees are very nice, good benefits for vested employees. Always working to better the employee experience. Easy yet fast paced work makes the day go by pretty quickly.

Cons

Alot of negativity on the floor from temporary emoloyees/vested employees who do not like change. Some machines could use better up keep or replacement all together. Still working on better communication between departments, not quite there yet.
