Puffer Sweiven Reviews

The only employees recognized or glorified in any way are sales, outside sales, and management. If you are in any other role internal or otherwise i.e. assistant, IT, HR, Reception, order planning, service, shipping/recieving etc... you dont exist or are to menial to waist an effort on. It's an extreme disadvantage if you happen to work in one of these other positions, and even more so if you happen to be female. There is MAJOR sexism going on. Prepare to be objectified by old men and creeps, and there are a lot of internal relationships between uppers and lowers that result in massive unfair benefits to the latter. It is like working in a high school and there is so much drama, rumor mill, and hatefull gossip going on that it could make you sick. We are never informed or told the truth about anything especially when it comes to the welfare and state of the company, and there are so many rumors that no one ever knows what is truth or not. Don't ever expect a decent raise or promotion as everything is considered a "lateral" move, and don't expect a decent salary or benefits until you've worked here for 10+ years. Everyday you have to be on your highest guard and walk around on eggshells in fear of getting fired, and the atmosphere feels like your always being watched by Big Brother. Everything is monitored and tapped in on and there are more restrictions in the rules and on the computers than in the military. If you want to advance than you must drink from the punch bowel and bend over backwards and go to all the after hours drinking parties with management, become a snitch on coworkers, make some shady deals, and always be up for the whims of management. You don't speak ill of your manager, you dont talk about lay offs, you don't question the new ridiculous edits to the employee policy, and you don't question or correct a VP if you want to keep a pay check. I would not still be working here if I could find another place to go.
