Pros of working at Serta Simmons Bedding

Easy to learn

Cons of working at Serta Simmons Bedding

Supervisors don’t even know how to do the job they are supervising . They expect you to work 12 hours 5 days sometimes 6 days a week and they don’t care if you have kids or anything going on they just care about you working hard to”never reach goal”. You work your ass off while upper management sits on their ass and phones all day but will say something to you if you answer a text message. Lots of men that gossip like high school girls . They also hire lots of immigrants so they can use and abuse them. It is an American sweatshop

Manufacturing teams worked well within the 4-walls to achieve goals. Pay was fair to above average for plant managers and above.

Cons of working at Serta Simmons Bedding

Continual strategic direction shifts and leadership turns at executive levels made leading plant teams difficult, unsafe and frustrating. Human resources leadership were legal drones completely disconnected with team engagement, feedback, etc.
