It was okay while it lasted, but it was dull work that left me unfulfilled and under appreciated. - Anonymous employee Strapworks Employee Review

Pros

There are always treats in the break room and there are plenty of amenities for staff to have in their off time.

Cons

It's a good place to work if you don't care about upward mobility. Despite the open communication suggestions aren't heeded, and despite the owners being visible they're still in the clouds.

We certainly appreciate the feedback and we do listen. We launched our Pay Level Chart this year so that everyone knows the upward mobility available. We also regularly promote from within. We appreciate the variety of backgrounds our staff bring to Strapworks, and the insight helps us make changes and adjustments to grow the company. Starting from nothing in a bedroom of our house, to now having 60,000+ square feet of warehouse and 70 employees, is something we are proud of and certainly would not have been able to accomplish without our great employees. Over 16 years we have had 180 employees and have 70 of those now. We are proud to also state that 23% of those that leave come back and re-apply. We aren't perfect for everyone, sometimes it doesn't work out, but everyone we do hire we want to succeed and we will do our absolute best to make that happen.

Pros

The 3 day weekend is so helpful for mental health and work/life balance. The owners want to get to know you and treat you like a person. They are accommodating when possible. No job is always fun, but I have enjoyed this job and the schedule more than any other.

Cons

It is a small, family owned business, so they can't always pay the best. They can be slow to make technological improvements or procedure changes. They do take employee suggestions, though. They do group employee development training on general topics. Maybe more individual/specific would be good?

Pros

There are possibilities for upward movement if you are willing to put in the time and the effort. Loyalty goes a long way with Strapworks. Most people's loyalty there stems from the "family" environment created there. It is easy to feel included in the Strapworks family. Although currently, the wages are not sky high, there are programs in place for standardized advancement as well as benefits package that is growing by the year including a profit-share percentage.

Cons

As stated before, the wages start low and move up incrementally as you gain experience and test into new positions as well as with tenure. Benefits could be better, but it's a good start considering what our government has put in place regarding healthcare.

Thank you for the feedback! We will continue to update our offerings and work with employees to find what is valued most. As we get larger it does get harder to please everyone, but we work hard to at least make sure that we show value to the majority. We continue to be more transparent on opportunities and advancement available. We are also working on improving wages and working levels so that every employee has a road map to a long term future with Strapworks. Douglas Foster - President at Strapworks
