Mud Bay Employee Reviews

Just being transparent about who they are and what they want. Stop calling it an employee owned company, it philosophically is not. It will always be a family owned company run by the Wullfs.

There is no communication within the executive team, mercy team, and stores. There is a complete lack of consistency.

Employees were expected to sign a paper saying that they quit and waive their rights to unemployment benefits or go from full-time to part-time. It was a disaster and now employees have been forced to figure out their next move just to simply have job security and a means to be able to live.

It'd be nice for benefits and compensation to be treated as a right rather than a privilege that I should be grateful or grovel for. It's not about how far you've come in terms of pay for employees, it's about comparing yourself to the rest of the market.

Instead of matching 401k you get an ESOP to which they have made any information about it so so hard to access and understand. There have been new people hired on at higher wages than tenured staff due to oversights and the new hires were told to keep it quiet.

Don't use meetings as a place to complain about your coworkers, your boss, or just complain in general. There's a difference between airing opinions and toxic negativity.

The interview process only involved people that literally had no knowledge about what goes on in the store. Also some of the people were not safe to be around and involved the police. Should really do a thorough background check and let the store interview the people, too.

The hiring process has completely changed from valuing employee and manager input to not including them at all

What's wrong is the company is throwing away all their employees that know and enjoy providing customers with that special Mud Bay experience. If Mud Bay actually hired someone that understood business they would not have made all these horrible decisions costing good people their jobs.
