      Pros

      Branch employees care about the mission. The safety industry is by definition a noble undertaking.

      Cons

      No real commitment to employees and/or customers by the leadership of the organization. Mistrust throughout. The organization exists to sell to Cintas or some other large company that will eventually take it over and chew up whatever is left when they do. Owners of any business being approached to sell to this company should be very cautious. If you do not care about your legacy or how your employees and/or customers will be treated after you sell your business this is probably the best place for you to sell your business too. If you do care about those things, look elsewhere. This team exemplifies all the bad things you hear about Private Equity.

      Pros

      Fantastic leadership, culture, and growth mindset. Lot of room to grow professionally and personally.

      Cons

      Must be ready to perform. A high accountability environment, but you have the support to produce.

      Pros

      This review is intended to offer guidance to those who are considering a future with Thompson Safety - not to share personal opinions but simply to introduce red flags that should be questioned/considered.

      Cons

      It’s worth mentioning that Thompson Safety was initially intended to, and for a while was, a customer experience prioritizing company. Culture was strong, compensation was fair, customers were thrilled. Over the last 3-4 years, they’ve undergone what I believe to be the most detrimental changes this company could have made. 1. Commission plan reduction for sales and service teams. Thompson pays its employees less money than it did 5 years ago - why? This is simultaneously introduced at the exact same time as customers are receiving regular price increases. Thompson makes more, employees make less? Why? I encourage any individual who is prospecting a career with Thompson Safety to pay close attention to the truly egregious turnover. All markets, all levels of the chain. Entire sales teams turning over every 12 months - equity holding GM positions turning over in less than a year in some cases - C-Suite executives selling equity and leaving the company. Backfilling vacant leadership roles with individuals who truly aren’t suited for the role, in an attempt to make the turnover tenure look as best as they can. Please ask questions to uncover these red flags, and know that these are signs that indicate a downward trending future at this company. It is NOT normal to experience turnover at this level, and especially abnormal to experience high level management, and officer level turnover of such an extreme.

      Thank you for taking the time to share your perspective and for the time you spent with Thompson Safety. We appreciate when former team members provide feedback, even when the experience did not meet expectations. Over the past several years, our company has grown significantly as we’ve invested in expanding our capabilities, entering new markets, and building a platform that allows us to serve our customers more effectively. With that growth has come change — including adjustments to compensation structures, leadership roles, and operating processes. These decisions are made carefully with the goal of ensuring the long-term health of the business while continuing to provide competitive opportunities for our team members. Compensation plans across our sales and service teams are reviewed regularly to ensure they remain competitive within our industry and aligned with performance and customer outcomes. Our intent is always to reward strong performance while maintaining a sustainable structure that supports the continued growth of the organization. As with many companies' experiencing rapid growth and expansion, there have been leadership transitions along the way. At the same time, we continue to attract talented leaders and team members who are excited about the future of the business and the opportunity to help shape the next chapter of Thompson Safety. We remain deeply committed to the culture that many of our team members value — one focused on strong customer relationships, teamwork, and providing meaningful career opportunities. Feedback like yours helps us continue evaluating how we evolve as an organization. We wish you the very best in your next chapter and thank you again for sharing your perspective.
