Pros

Lot's of company picnics and food but not what i am working for, save the money on the lunch and give your employee's better pay. 1 week off for Christmas was a plus but they decided to do away with that perk.

Cons

WAY to many cons to list to be honest. I was employed with Frame USA for 6 years and in the beginning it was a decent company to work for but that changed the moment the owner's daughter became COO. She is impossible to get along with and treats and talks to employee's horrible and gets away with it because her father is the CEO. I reported to the HR Manager the way i was treated and talked to by the COO and next thing i know i am in a meeting with HR and COO being written up. The COO does not just stick to operations management she often has her foot in everyone else's departments and she micro manages in the worst way possible, often making projects more complicated than they have to be. The turnover at Frame USA is the worst i have ever seen. The only way i can describe they way this company operates is - Chaos. The owner & CEO can be a nice guy but beware, if something in his personal life bad happens he takes it out on his employee's. He is erratic and changes his mind about projects in the middle of them. During Christmas they run a charity that takes up all of your time (the charity is great) but when you cannot finish the work that you are supposed to be doing because of the charity, you will be in trouble. The COO will use any excuse to write you up and punish you, she has NO experience in managing people and it shows. All the employee's i worked with that quit or left was because of her.

Pros

It's awesome to have a locally owned company in the Greater Cincinnati area., and the work force is diverse. There's a ton of employee events throughout the year, and a genuine effort is made to give back to the community.

Cons

None that I can think of

Pros

The annual chili cook-off was always fun and I enjoyed the company of my co-workers for the most part

Cons

First off, the owner and (former) CEO is kind of nuts. Nice guy to your face most of the time but clearly watched too much Fox News. He would regularly stuff pamphlets for COMPANY FUNDED right-wing webinars/guest speaking events in your mailbox that were politically charged at best and borderline neo-Nazi conspiracy propaganda at worst. Turned out the guy was basically running an ultra-conservative think tank out of the auditorium. Maybe if he had redirected some of his funds from his propaganda outfit to the actual company he wouldn't have had to sell/close the place, but alas. HUGE employee turnover and management problem. In my last year there the sales/customer service department alone went through no less than 6-7 managers because they'd either quit or get fired after just a couple of months, usually because of the confusing and unorganized SOPs and terrible senior leadership. Literally could not sell these frames because frankly the product was simply inferior to the competitors. The company demanded sales but put no effort into innovating their products, which were far too expensive for what they were offering. Plus the turnover was so high, training so poor, and pay so low that manufacturing mistakes occurred constantly. Prior to the company being sold off to its new owner in early 2024, the owner called an all-hands meeting one morning and fired nearly everyone on the spot with no warning, completely throwing away what little goodwill the employees had toward the company. You get the idea. Maybe the place has improved since being bought by another company, but if it has the same leadership then I highly doubt it.
