      Pros

      Excellent coworkers, great benefits, set work schedule, good wages, open door policy with the higher ups, and the company holds events for employees to keep them involved and happy.

      Cons

      A lot of loud noises, physically demanding, requires a lot of dexterity and concentration if you are on the shop floor or in shipping/receiving.

      Pros

      Team=Family. Decent PTO. Employees are given incredible discounts and opportunities to win free knives. Decent company culture. MGMT expresses appreciation in various company-culture events like chili cookoff, halloween costume contest, xmas party, etc.

      Cons

      Training is messy and actually dangerous. Leadership = good people, but scatterbrained and stretched thin. New staff aren't shown knife safety. HR tends to hire anyone, even the obvious human-liability. Super high turnover as well. The norm is "hire 5, hope 1 stays."

      Pros

      Is a well known name brand company.

      Cons

      Buck used to be an amazing company. They now want to try to have their cake and eat it too. There is no clear direction on where they are taking the brand so they are no longer a low cost American made product yet no where near the quality of a Benchmade. They are stuck in limbo and continue to pressure production staff to do more and more with less and less. Benefits are consistently taken away and pay is terrible.

      We have been improving in all area the past 2 years. Most notable our Mission, Vision and Vales have greatly influenced a positive culture and resulted in our best 2 years in sales and financial metrics. Wages and total comp have significantly increase as well.
