Great Company - Senior Buyer Pacific Coast Feather Employee Review

Professionalism work, international work, creative and technical

Competitive, large, variable quality, low salaries

The people that work here are the only reason that this company is still around. Almost everyone is nice and a pleasure to work with. Management styles, while vary, tend to lean towards more laid back nature. The casual dress code was a major plus.

I've seen posts that say it's great to work for them based on benefits and perks (esp for families), but I'm not sure where their base is coming from. They barely pay enough to survive at entry level, nor did they offer a chance for an increase in pay in 2 years because of a "raise freeze". Said freeze was continued even though the CEO claimed the company had rebounded near their highest revenue ever. They cut back on medical benefits so that they are now almost rediculous. Sure they offer 401k and whatnot, but what corporations don't? They don't offer any perks like bus passes or, well, anything. They offer 0 weeks vacation for your first year of employment (though, they are willing to let you work overtime to make up for a few days off), and then it's industry standard 2 weeks (1 week in some departments). So really, I'm just a little confused when they say it's a great place to work. Compared to my history, the benefits and perks are now well below most companies and the pay isn't enough for a family without another income.
