What is the best part about your compensation package?
Very competitive pay rates, generous benefits for all levels of employee
The whole package is good!
401k and insurance plans are good
Profit sharing and incentive bonuses.
I think what they offer is fair. But I would gladly take a cut in the over all for higher pay. Since people who started over 6 months after me are making the same or more.

Employees need more money more money better workers
Review from Operations Dept
Higher pay. More respect. Better treatment .
When working in rain, sleet, snow. hail, and burning hot sun with humidity during a profit busting year during high lumber sales and prices that the company would pay a bit more to cover that. It's not the rate though. A profit share for yard and non management would be nice and motivating.
