Great first job experience - Anonymous employee Channing Bete Employee Review

paid well, great people to work with.

It is a shame the company closed.

The holidays and the flexibility with scheduling vacation. If you needed to go to an appointment you were allowed to take as little as an hour vacation if you only needed an hour. ESOP benefits were incredible. Town Hall meetings with full disclosure. Onsite Flu shots for your spouse/partner and yourself. Blood drives done on your breaktime. Many of the management were wonderful. But times changed. The wintergarden is beautiful with huge indoor trees and wonderful sunlight. The FOOD is unbelievable. Mark is a great chef who came from a local restaurant. The number of holidays is amazing. They also had a 'free' table near the exit where you could put items from your home you don't want anymore and know that someone would take it and it would end up in landfill. You were able to take some samples home if you need a booklet on high blood pressure or a coloring book for your child.

There were one or two folks in the management that made the marketing department a nightmare. That was really tough. Marketing and sales blamed for a downturn in sales instead of the recession. Opps. Lost many loyal employees.
