      Pros

      Really solid people (used to) work here. You wouldn't recognize more than 5 people 2023 vs. 2024. So at least they had good hiring taste. Owner goes out of his way to make things really cool. Like events at the zoo and first Friday luncheons.

      Cons

      Owner is unpredictable and honestly changes his tune on a dime. Turnover is through the roof. Pay is at least 30% below market value. Environment is toxic and driven to be that way by management.

      Thank you for your feedback about your experience at Salem Stones. We value employee insights, as they help us improve. We acknowledge your concerns about our environment and management. It’s important to note that Glassdoor does not allow the removal of negative reviews solely for being negative; any removed reviews did not meet their community standards. Regarding compensation, we regularly conduct wage reviews to ensure our pay scales are competitive. Specific concerns about your own compensation should have been directed to HR so that they could have been addressed. While change can sometimes create perceptions of instability, we strive to foster a supportive workplace culture that prioritizes employee well-being. We also appreciate your positive comments about our events and initiatives aimed at fostering team morale. Thank you again for your input as we work to uphold our values of respect, integrity, and collaboration.

      Pros

      -Flexible -Family oriented -Growing company -Free lunch on 1st Friday of the month :) -Free Coffee and Tea -Always trying to find ways to reward employees -Everyone in the company is very approachable and caring -Owner has a lot of good stories! -Very close to Downtown Columbus, Ohio -Sales Team and Owner know a lot and have a lot of experience in the industry -Very diverse and non-discriminating environment -People work hard

      Cons

      - Learning what they do and sell could be sometimes overwhelming, but at the same time interesting. -There is a lot going on most days, so, you need to perform quickly and sometimes without guidance (a great opportunity for leadership!) -There could be some cussing, bad mood and yelling from time to time when things don't go as expected, but it never affected my work.

      It's wonderful to hear about your positive experience at Salem Stones. We value the family-oriented culture, employee well-being, and creating a supportive environment. While there are some challenges, such as the learning curve and occasional pressure to perform quickly, these can also provide opportunities for personal and professional growth. Your advice to management about setting expectations can help maintain a positive work environment and minimize misunderstandings.
