Not what I expected as a company that has been in business for so long.......
Loader (Former Employee), Charlotte, NC – February 11, 2013
This company has great products as well as alot of great people working for them. What is lacking is alot of the management team forget that they to had to start somewere. Being able to train and modavate is a key element of a manager. The abbility to do this with out discougering the employee is how you keep a low turn over rate......

I worked on a production line assembling door knobs. I learned how to separate and tag material in the receiving dept. There wasn't anything hard about this job. The most enjoyable part of the job was the environment.

Fast paced, high demand, with fun activities such as cabins and carnivals
Consumer Service Representative (Former Employee), Lake Forest, CA – August 2, 2012
Pros: free cabins, carnivals, free lucheons, discount on products
Cons: shift bids for saturday
Typical day consistent of responding to customers request over the phone, email, and USPS mail. Black & Decker was very good about training all of us on the product we were supporting. We used Salesforce to track customers and product issues. My coworkers were fun and happy people. The hardest part of the job was that there was no time for training – more... which was required in order to move up the ladder. The most enjoyable part was hearing the cusotmer say thank you and accomplishing the customers requirement. – less
