It is a family owned company which touts itself as a family friendly company, however, that is not entirely the case. They have some nice events throughout the year in which you can include family members, but in general work/life balance for salaried positions is poor. They expect long hours from managers and salaried positions, but are not upfront about this in their hiring process, so be sure to ask how many hours you'll be expected to work. There are some in senior management that have gotten there by unscrupulous means and based on performance would not last at another company. They try to avoid people who have second jobs that would take away from their job at Collette. They are trying very hard to have more of an inside sales culture for very good reasons, but it has had a dramatic affect on morale. They will nickel and dime you on your salary and give you the expectation of big bonuses. Sometimes there have been big bonuses, but don't count on it. Don't expect much praise or positive reinforcement. Performance reviews are a bit of a joke. Benefits are OK, but 401k match is pretty low. Don't get too excited about the travel benefits - it's not all it's cracked up to be.
