Pros

Health coverage is decent, but not exceptional. If it was a good year, you get a very generous bonus at Xmas time. Owner is very lenient about needing to miss for doctor's appointments etc. Owner is extremely knowledgeable about masonry and explains it well. Large opportunity for overtime.

Cons

Outdated systems and inconsistent policies lead to constant miscommunication and mismanagement of orders. Aging work-staff is not willing to work hard and has grown complacent. Customer Service Rep's actively ignore phone calls and customers. Several bad unionized employees are never punished for tardiness/no-call no-shows, great unionized employees are seldom rewarded for their excellence. 50 hours a week + 5 hours on most saturdays.

Pros

Office (non-union) employees have excellent health insurance 100% paid for by employer. When business is good, employer pays a generous year-end bonus.

Cons

Pay raises for office (non-union) employees, barely keep up with the cost of living. Employees are disrespsectful to each other, and management turns a blind eye. Management communication with employees is very poor.

Pros

I am left alone to complete my work. Health insurance is 100% paid. They are cool about doctor's appointments and such. Nice Christmas bonus.

Cons

Where do I begin? It is a bad environment, employee's are constantly complaining about each other. The way some talk to others should not be allowed, bullying almost. Especially by one long time employee, that kisses butt, and they think he is amazing. He is toxic! Management doesn't trust anyone enough to have a key to the office, ridiculous. Bullet proof glass between sales staff and customers, banks don't even have that! No windows in the back accounting office. Just a very negative environment all around. The one Owner is very much an introvert, almost to the point of being rude.
