Pros

Compensation was alright. Food percs as well.

Cons

They market themselves as a interactive culture and "flat organization". It is not quite that. When things aren't going the way the company would like, they can be very cold towards their staff.

Pros

the food was good and the safeway gift cards were good

Cons

Working for a family is always hard. One gets pulled into the drama of family. They say they treat everyone like family but that's not the flex they think it is. The CEO's management style was learned from his dad, the former CEO. Imagine the only way your boss knows how to manage or lead is by parenting, parenting like The Great Santini in the worst possible way. Because of the CEO, I will never ever buy anything produced by Subzero/Wolf, which is a shame because they are great products.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We know prospective employees read these reviews to understand our company culture, so we’d like to offer some additional context. As a family-owned and operated business, our interactions can feel more personal—and sometimes more direct—than in large corporate environments. Like many families, there can be moments of disagreement or tension, but our aim is always to improve, listen, and grow together. We also recognize that during times of change or transition, experiences can vary widely. While not everyone will find our approach to management or culture the right fit, many appreciate the strong sense of accountability, work-life balance, and close-knit environment we work hard to maintain. We’re proud to represent premium brands known for exceptional quality, and we expect the same commitment to excellence in how we serve customers and support our team. We encourage anyone interested to speak with us directly to learn more about our values and opportunities.
