Pros

coworkers are nice mostly friendly

Cons

leaders lie and have an agenda especialy the COO. Work at the Lockbourne plant thats in a rough neighborhood so crimes a problem. Cars have been busted into, tires stolen and catalytic converters cut off and stolen. We were always told parking was at our own risk which was fair at least. But a couple weeks ago a brand new employee had all 4 wheels stolen of her SUV and she is telling people the company paid for all new wheels and rims! Turns out she is personal friends with a few of the vice presidents and was hired to be the assistant to the COO so gets special treatment. And long time associates get nothing

Pros

Wasserstrom is in an interesting line of business. If you enjoy the food service industry, you may enjoy working for them as they help facilitate restaurants and other businesses. I worked for Wasserstrom for 5+ years, and despite some departments having high turnover rates, many of the employees have loyally stuck with the company for years. Most of the people who work there are friendly. It appears you are able to move around to different departments within the company if desired. They offer a good PTO policy. The company likes to engage with volunteer opportunities and fundraisers. Their office is clean, with many necessities available to employees.

Cons

The biggest con would be the pay rate, which is not competitive in today's market. Many people have asked for a modest raise, myself included, and have been denied. Also, this is nothing personal against the Wasserstrom family as my interactions with all of them were pleasant, but there seems to be a "bottom line" ethos within the company. Upper management will talk a lot about how much money the company is bringing in, but then you never see that reflected anywhere. That ethos might be typical of most businesses, but after awhile I began to feel undervalued and taken advantage of. Motivation begins to wane as you realize you're not generally going to be rewarded for working harder. Management also likes to talk about changes, improvements, etc., but then they never seem to happen. Many times I felt like Charlie Brown getting the football taken away from him. Overall I'd rate my experience between a 3 and a 4. I liked working for Wasserstrom and wouldn't deter others from doing so, but your experience will vary based on what you're looking for in a job/career.
