Pros
Good experience, the industry is very interesting.
Kontras
Mediocre management, no planning, and nobody in the higher levels of the company wants to be accountable for anything. Some of the higher positions are filled in with people with the only merit of being friends or relatives of someone else in a higher level, and not based on demonstrated results.

There are worse places to work. Flexible work environment, friendly co-workers.
Kontras
Word of advise- If you are looking at this as a place to work- go elsewhere. If you already work here, start looking. Whjle management puts on a 'We care about you' they really only cares about themself and the all mighty dollar. Nepotism at its best. Owner employees the wife, President and Sr VP are Father/son. Most corps are similar so you are not much different but there is saying that definately fits Rena Ware when refering to management. "Book Smart, Street Stupid" I am not saying that they are all stupid, but most have essentially been handed and live the better life so it is very hard for them to see other perspectives. Owner/Exec I feel make knee-jerk decisions without thinking through it. We had an antiquated system to manage sales and commission- it work. in fact it worked very well but didn't have some of the bells and whistles newer systems have but it worked. All of a sudden we are learning a new system having to come up with work arounds for things we just took for granted. The person in charge of that decision- left a couple months later probably due to embarassment- and probably because those above him were update that they got a system that costs 5x as much and half the functionality. US positions are all being off-shored so beware- Glad I was out before SHTF. US side of business was shut down after Covid because - to be honest- most people are smart enough to NOT purchase overpriced China/Taiwan cookware. The only piece I own was given me and we don't even use it. Even with Employee discount I could not justify the price. Quality? sure but so are a lot of others. Last I heard from former co-workers, there were less than 20 US positions, down from 5-6 times that a few years ago, and more expected to forced out.
