Toxic leadership and unsafe working conditions - Mixer Alene Candles Employee Review

Alene Candles was a great company to work for. People were nice and everyone contributed to the best of their abilities. Alene did a lot of work promoting a very positive culture and added a lot of activities for associates through the years. The company was not perfect, but what company is? Everyone was doing there absolute best and that's what counts. It is amazing to see how a senior leader like the COO knows the people on the floor by name.

It's a small company with a very seasonal product, so work can be a little hectic at times. This should not be a dealbreaker for anyone who is thinking about coming to Alene. Also, it is a small company so career opportunities are less. But Alene spends a lot of time compensating this by providing a lot of training and development like the leads program.

They pay on time. Coworkers are the best.

Pay is crap - they say they use a tool to set pay. It is very convenient how executives are paid a lot more than the rest of us for such a small company. Detached from reality - The new hampshire plant has not made money in years, went through a shift elimination and 2 rounds of layoffs. Yet, company spend a lot of money on a xmas party, and I bet you vp's and c suite salaries remain untouched. Either the business is super volatile, or leaders have no idea of how to run their business. - priorities are always changing and it seems that the strategy is no strategy. Project Everest - an absolute disaster. Supervisors are rude and condecending. It is said that company pays an A HUGE amount of money in offsite meetings for senior leaders . If we are so strapped, can't you do the meetings online ? c suite is super rude and duplicitous. This is not the place to realy make a career if u want to learn and grow.
