I worked at Seymour Midwest for a year or so. During that time many changes took place however none of those changes actually changed anything. Management is out of touch with the needs and workload of the associates. The type of work isn't completely horrible but is made worse by ineffective leadership. They have had some amazingly talented and truly wonderful people in their employ but again mismanagement chases them away.

The executive leadership team has poured so much money in to the company yet none of that trickles down to the hourly employees. There is no pay increase schedule and the base pay is laughable. They have no desire to recognize and develop talent nor retain it. Whatever job you take coming in, is all they assume you're capable of or qualified for.

Honestly with so many other places to work in the area, and so many other places to purchase yard tools, I would do both somewhere else.

Purchasing Structron, Seymour, Midwest Rake, or Kenyon branded products is only supporting a company whos core culture is greed. Steer clear of this company. As a side note, most of the products are only assembled in the USA nearly all components and many complete items are manufactured in China. Buyer and potential employee beware.
