Pros

Absolutely NOTHING regarding this company is positive. The only pro I valued was the amazing friendships with a select few that I carried out the door with me.

Cons

Zero Confidentiality, Mangers discuss their employees confidential information with other employees. Degrading communication from all levels CYA(Cover Your A**) or you WILL be thrown under the bus. The culture is toxic and encourages a career path of people who will step all over you because they believe that the road to success is about whom you know, not what you know. Narcissist Family owned, the only "family" they care about is the Wasserstrom Family. Quick to criticize and slow to praise Women are underrepresented in management rolls. Inconsistent in all areas from management styles to the way this business is operated. I could go on and on about the brutal culture that is aggressive and unrestrained. Bottom line you will be overworked, under paid and treated poorly!

Pros

Wasserstrom has a strong core of long‑tenured associates, which speaks to both the stability of the company and the quality of the work environment. The average associate tenure is over a decade, and with more than 123 years in business, there is a deep sense of history, craftsmanship, and commitment across the organization. Many associates have built long careers here, contributing deep knowledge and a genuine willingness to mentor, collaborate, and support one another. One of the company’s unique strengths is the close connection between the corporate office and the shop floor. Having these teams physically and operationally connected creates strong alignment, real‑time collaboration, and a shared sense of ownership in the work being done. While the company values its traditions, it is also forward‑thinking and continues to invest in innovation, process improvements, and new ways of doing business. Turnover is low, associates take pride in what they build, and it shows in both the quality of the work and the overall culture. Leadership is approachable, teamwork is encouraged, and there is a clear emphasis on safety, consistency, and continuous improvement. Associates are given opportunities to learn, grow, and build lasting careers while contributing to a company that continues to evolve and innovate.

Cons

Because the company has many long‑serving associates and established processes, the environment may feel more structured or traditional for those who prefer constant change.
