Working at Brandt in Davenport, IA: 1 Employee Job Reviews by Real Employee working in Davenport, IA Area

"Lacking in many areas"

What do you like about working at Brandt?

"There isn't much to say about enjoying this company in its current state of affairs. Perhaps if I was more inclined in the print industry, this would be a better fit, but I'm a technology person where this industry and this place of employment seem to be lacking the forward-thinking that it takes to get ahead."

Do you have any tips for others interviewing with this company?

"Every place of work is going to have issues. That's inevitable, no matter where you go. Sometimes those issues can severely inhibit productivity and that's what I take issue with. When politics and closed-mindedness get in the way of progress, it really bothers me. That's what I would be weary of when coming to work here."

What don't you like about working at Brandt?

"My role here at this company has switched significantly from what I was originally hired to do. I no longer get to focus on my primary area of expertise and have moved into a more menial role, which is neither rewarding, nor reassuring. I often feel like many of my ideas for this company are stopped in its tracks by the owner because some of them cost money. Marketing initiatives and website content ideas often fall on deaf ears here."

What suggestions do you have for management?

"Invest more time, effort, and money into giving your employees the ability to help the company and broaden your horizons a bit. Understand that it takes spending money to make money some times and that not everybody is out to get you. Trust that the people you hire are looking out for the best interest of the company."
