Unstable
Corporate Office (Former Employee), Golden Valley – April 14, 2013
Cons: the whole package
I worked for this company for 6 years. Always walking on egg shells. Unorganized, and very mixed values. Different rules for different people. In the beginning, I loved/enjoyed my job and people. Tennant Company is no longer what it used to be. People turn over quickly. It used to be a great place to work, and you were proud to be part of their team. – more... That no longer exists. It is not a company I would recommend. – less

Don't Work Here!!!
Assembler (Former Employee), Golden Valley,Mn. – July 16, 2012
Pros: no mandatory overtime
Cons: short breaks.bad time standards
They are using more and more temp workers so they don't have to pay benefits.I've seen some temps get strung along for up to 2 yrs. before they got hired full time.Management doesn't listen to employee concerns.One supervisor we had was called little Hitler.He was power hungry and seemed to forget that he was once an hourly employee.Should be unionized.When – more... job advancement or shift openings come up management doesn't go by seniority.As for the 3rd shift robotic welder job.The training is very bad.Alot of valuable info is withheld.All jobs in the plant have time standards that are strictly enforced.The times are rediculously off.Yet people are expected to adhere to these standards even when it is rediculously hot.It is a sweat shop. – less

I've seen that too.People forced to retire or get fired when market is slow.

malniz46 – February 27, 2013

I used to be a S10 service rap in this company, all service managers in this company inderectly pushed their service raps to become deshonests with their costumers by given them 4 things to comply with. #1- a PM (preventive maintenance time average chart, how much time to spend in doing a PM service in a peace of equipment even if you do it in a half time of that, if you dont't comply with that you used to get a phone call about your labour average being to low, # 2- % productvity based on your last year productivity. example: if you productivity was 100% last year they raise it to 105-110% for the next year. #3 - parts sales (sweeping brushes) some % goes to the raps, service trainer and manager, that's why those brushes from tennant are so expensive, other parts sale % goes to the sales rap. I used get phone calls from my sales rap about my parts sales being low. # 4- labour sales. some % goes to the service manager and service trainer. that's why managers and trainers in this company. they pushed their raps to bill a lot labour hours. in my time in this company I saw fellow raps doing deshonest things like, inflating estimates that way the costumer will be froced to buy a new unit, adjusting brush too much down pressure so brushes worn out faster, over billing costumers, In my region I was the only one to stood up to my manager no wonder why they lay me off at the first chance they got. Don't get me wrong this company used to provided a good and honest service but it seems now is full of greedy managers, like the one here in Canda, no wonder why every day this company is losing ground on the service field, local companies are taking over. Sugestion: get rid off managers. The trainers and sales raps can do a better job, managers don't do anything anyways except play golf or hockey every day. jajajaj

a very demanding company with little reward
Equipment Repair Technician (Former Employee), Aurora, CO – June 5, 2012
Pros: a steady income
Cons: always changing, and micro managed
very demanding company with little or no reward for the people involved
a typical work day would be to travel to customer location repair equipment and then travel to next location adnd do the same

you needed to be self taught in most cases they did not like to share information with the employees

co workers did the same hardest part of job was to – more... make management happy
most enjoyable part of job was to see the satisfaction of others when job was completed and the friends i made – less
