Mad Men - Inside Sales Stephen Gould Employee Review

Even nearly 11 years after leaving Stephen Gould, I still consider it one of the best companies I have ever worked for. The culture within the Addison office was something truly special. Under the guidance of Todd Harmon and Rick DeVincent, leadership fostered an environment that was collaborative, innovative, supportive, and genuinely team-oriented. My fellow account managers and colleagues became like family, which is not something many companies can claim. What always stood out to me was Stephen Gould’s commitment to innovation — not only in packaging and supply chain solutions, but in continuously evolving alongside changing technologies and industry demands. The company never seemed content with simply being successful; there was always a drive to improve, grow, and better serve their clients. I recently stopped by the office after years abroad, and what struck me immediately was that the energy and culture I remembered were still very much alive. The team was engaged, enthusiastic, and actively discussing exciting future projects and growth initiatives. It spoke volumes about the consistency of the leadership and the company culture. I originally resigned to focus on raising my children, not because I wanted to leave the company. To this day, I still recommend Stephen Gould to entrepreneurs and businesses seeking packaging, logistics, and supply chain expertise. Very few companies leave such a lasting positive impression on both your professional career and your personal life. Stephen Gould certainly did for me.

They are stuck with me forever!

Management is clinging to an outdated vision The recent appointment of an unqualified family member to CEO only accelerates the clock should make for an interesting case study in how not to run a business when the eventual collapse arrives.

Dedicated employees, some with 10, 15, or even 25 years of service, are lured by promises of a generous deferred profit-sharing retirement package. Yet, just before retirement, Stephen Gould allegedly pressures them to resign, quit, or face termination, stripping them of their earned benefits. This toxic culture has ruined lives and destroyed careers, and these practices reportedly persist. Avoid working here at all costs.
