I'm not sure if this former employee is aware, but Cobalt Graphics Distribution was sold to Grimco Inc. on April 30, 2021. Cobalt Graphics is now wholly owned and operated by Grimco and has different benefit plans.

Pros

-Company had good benefits and unlike others here my HR experience was excellent as i always got an answer within a short time. -The non management staff are great people and as on to the experience there. -Newly renovated building -Good work life balance

Cons

-Management doesn't have a clue how to run the business. They may have been great at their jobs in the past but none are management quality and lack the fundamentals to lead their teams. -parent company Cansel controls the marketing which is a huge blow as they don't have a clue how to properly market for the graphics market. -Company re branded it self in August and wasted valuable dollars doing so with management traveling all over the county for their meetings. Haven't heard of Webex? It will be fun for them justifying all that travel to President. -No price book. no one in the company knows what exactly they sell. Constant talk about how its been more than 5 years for a rationalization but didn't see one until the day i left. -Website is horrible and no one is willing to do anything about it. Million meetings and noting changes. -hopefully you are good at meeting new people because the turnaround of employees is insane. Don't be surprised if you are without a job in a year

Cobalt is quickly approaching our first year of operations. As with most new businesses, even those created out of other businesses, there are lots of challenges in the first year. We had to break away from our parent company with new systems and approaches. What worked for the parent company doesn't necessarily work in the graphics industry which was the purpose for creating Cobalt. Cobalt continues to grow and strengthen. Our systems and people continue to get better and better and our relationships continue to grow. Our e-commerce platform is best in class and we continue to add products to the site on a daily basis. Our customer love it and our employees are learning the benefits of it. I understand that the first year of any business is very tough, especially adapting to all the changes, but we are coming through it stronger and have great people to take us there.

Pros

COBALT is definitely a place that provides an immersive learning experience for those with great ambitions. The employees around me were a reflection of COBALT’s work ethics of accuracy and speed, focusing on effectiveness and efficiency as the core of their daily tasks. The management is also very unique as it truly applies the textbook definition of valuing employees as their best asset. This was a wonderful environment to be around and learn from. I think the experience at COBALT helped me gain many different communications, analytical, and technical skills. Probably the best work experiences I have had thus far. It is definitely a place for professional and personal growth, and a place for ambitions and achievements.

Cons

The work progresses fast and requires great attention to detail, only enjoyable for those who are willing to put their best effort and performance forward.
