What does the leadership team need to get better at?

Leadership Reviews

Actually doing their job. Training new employees is a concept

Review from Sales Dept

Put competant leaders in place. Poor leadership at the Milton location including Market manager level. Very unethical actions and decisions by the upper level leadership. The SEC would shut this place down if audited.

Review from Operations Dept

Being more Involved with other employees letting employees now how they are doing at their job giving feed back

Review from Operations Dept

Fairness, no more discrimination, and they hire new employees at hire pay wages then those that have been there for years. So im training people that make more than me .

Making sure people are doing what they are supposed to be doing and actually enforcing punishment instead of just a slap on the wrist.

Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?

Compensation Reviews

Do what they say they are going to do

Review from Operations Dept

I feel I could be paid more for the work I do

Review from Sales Dept

There are too many different pay rates in one building. I don't feel the pay is very competitive with other companies

It would make me fell better if instead of pats on the back for loading carts to go on trucks, taking care of the will calls, and dealing with broken equipment. If i got paid my worth. $16 a hour is a joke.

I have actually worked for this company since 1969 We used to own the trucking that done the deliveries and when we sold did not negotiate like we should have for vacation so I only receive 2 weeks of vacation when I actually have worked over 50 years for this company delivering materials.

What do your coworkers need to improve and how could you work together better?

Team Reviews

Actually knowing what they are talking about. Many don't even know lumber or products that could be sold

Review from Sales Dept

The only way to improve is by getting rid of the source that makes it unhappy in the company

Review from Sales Dept

These youngsters you guys hire don't listen to anybody and just wanna argue about every little task. Thats when they're not in the bathroom every half hour.

Management needs to give me someone who hablas English sometime...

Coworkers need to be shown by management that there are limits on how they can treat each other. I am tired of seeing on a daily basis individuals acting completely opposed to our company goals, treating coworkers badly, but having no consequences to create incentives for change.

What needs to change to make the company culture better?

Environment Reviews

Construction companies will always have savory types of people. Finding the right mix of salty and sweet people that are not too old of too young will always be a challenge.

Review from Operations Dept

Management not just listening to problems, but acting to address them. Following up on them to make sure there are actual changes.

The manager ask any employe

Hire GM's that care about the workers and the jobs given and to make sure things are being done correctly. I think a good GM can really bring in good customers if he has a good organized work team which will in return bring in the money for the company.

The location could use morning meetings. Compensation. A bad stuck up attitude at the branch by management treating employees poorly.

What would you improve about your company's interview process?

Interviews Reviews

Questions on knowledge of business

Review from Product Dept

They still have people walk in off the street to fill out aplications which are not documented and tracked and thrown in a pile.

Review from Operations Dept

Tell the truth since the beginning

Review from Sales Dept

Make sure they can read a tape measure

Did not have an interview with the joke of managers current

What's going wrong and how can it be improved?

Outlook Reviews

Toxic environment with no leadership

Review from Sales Dept

What is going wrong is that we arent getting treated when we get hurt . And there is a lot of gossiping and discrimination

Review from Operations Dept

Yard workers DONT want to work and deal with customers. Inside sales workers are constantly making paper errors on sales receipt so customers are back and fourth trying to get right paperwork.

Management behavior/ management being present

Change in management and sales management

What would you most like to see improved at your company?
