Not a place to work - Regional Sales Manager Lyon Workspace Products Employee Review

Great benefits. Friendly co workers.

If you don't enjoy traveling this is not the job for you.

I've been with the company for several years and can provide a fairly informed review. Benefits: The benefit package is well rounded. Medical (at the time of this review, a BCBS PPO plan), dental, life, voluntary life, short term/ long term disability, PTO and 401k are offered. Management: There have been changes in the management team since the transition in ownership a few years ago. Both the upper management and plant management teams have been working together to make positive changes in many areas - safety, quality, and employee training (to name a few) and while it is still an on-going process will make for a better place to work for Lyon employees. Employee Growth: Critical areas, such as, performance, skills, attendance and attitude are reviewed for internal candidates and open positions. Employees who show a desire to succeed and commit to being present, learning and put forth effort are given opportunities when positions become available. As with most in the manufacturing industry, an increase in orders requires more work during peak seasons. This may lead to longer work days during part of the year. With a look throughout the year, though, it typically balances out. Typically, metal manufacturing plants are not climate controlled, the Lyon facilities follow in that respect. While it would be a nice benefit, realistically most know it isn't feasible. Short Personal Opinion: I enjoy working for Lyon, their management team and with all the other Lyon employees.

It will get warm in the summer months, but that is true of most metal manufacturing facilities.
