Valspar Employer Reviews

Typically it was a fast paced environment, with allot to do,
understaffed.
The schedule/workload makes it hard to sleep or have decent family time.
But the employees are good to work with.
The hardest part is the dusty environment, & the hours.

great sales team
great benefits
great first job for college gradautes

You have to remember this company just went public in 2007 so they do not have all the kinks worked out. They work hard to streamline processes and make things better. This is great! THey are very focused on LSS.

There are some top quality people working there and I had the pleasure of working with some of them. Also, the culture, from the top down, – more...  is not progressive. It's stuck in a time warp. There is nothing like flex-time and you have the same vacation increases as the factory workers.

Mainly, I had problems with management. There is no mentor program, no training for managers or anyone who manages people. Thus bad habits are passed down from one manager to the next. I, personally, experienced my manager bullying me till she "separated" me from the company. It was a mutual separation. She did the same thing to my colleague a few weeks later. I stayed for this abuse (working there a total of 3 years) because I couldn't believe they would let this happen but her boss and HR was actually supportive.

What was good about my job there? The amount of people from there that have called me since to support me knowing what happened was wrong. I made quality friends because quality people work there. – less

I have no idea how people could create a productive career at this company. I love the overall benefits and environment but i do not believe you can advance.

iam well rounded person when working @ valspar we had to work every fuction of the warehouse.Everone had to be trained @ picking paking rec and shipping.everone had to get along witheach other because we were togther more than our family.

At first Valspar was a horrible place to work, no real management, lots of turnover, and poor training. But, the corporate enity as a whole strived hard to improve on all of these things, and ultimately done an awesome job in doing so. However after only three years of employment the Elkhart facility was closed due to the defuct economy.
