Pros

Pay was decent. The good people are on the floor, getting it done when they can get management out of the way.

Cons

The "Good Old Boy" management doesn't want to change anything for the better but says they do. If you point out problems, they will lie or hide the real truth, then put it back on you. They don't care about safety and cut corners to save money or time. They run good people off because they make the Good Old Boys look bad.

We are disappointed to hear you had an experience that seems to be contrary to the core values we esteem (Committed, Caring, Creative and Collaborative). While there isn't any wholesale "house cleaning" happening, we are continually reviewing individual performance and supporting leaders where development is needed. As a whole, Tarkett N.A. is focused and intent on developing internally and hiring talent who demonstrate leadership that is inspiring, accomplished and focused on leading by example (i.e. servant leadership). We agree with you that "good old boy" style of leadership is not inclusive or desireable. We are excited about the leaders coming into our company and offer many avenues for our leaders to develop through direct feedback (including employee surveying, new manager assimilation training, focus groups, skip-level meetings, 360 Feedback and other organizational development tools and principles). Thank you for submitting a review and we hope your career path finds you in a place that is a better fit for you.
