Great work environment! - Operations Manager Meyer Sign Co Employee Review

Meyer feels like a small group of very talented individuals working together towards a common goal. I really like the trade and what this company is willing to do for their customers. I feel like my skill set is highly valued and that being in a leadership role is rewarding both personally and in the results we deliver. This trade is challenging and can be very rewarding when vague and complex problems are solved with relative ease by talking with individuals who have different frames of mind.

As with many smaller companies, communication could always be better. What I do like about this company though is that we are always improving and finding new ways to excel at what we do. Custom signage can be frustrating as there are so many details and chances for error, but when the group works together we really get to feel the pride in our work. Company culture could improve but a big shift in recent years has started to make this operation more "team-oriented" and experienced.

Denny Meyer, the owner, appreciates his employees. He praises good jobs. He allows you to try new things like painting or crate making. As a fabricator you do other things such as wiring, trim-capping, vinyl, letters by hand etc. You're not stuck just doing vinyl all day everyday or trim gapping all day everyday. He will train you if you want to learn.

Being late or sick is understandable but some take advantage of it, are 20 minutes late daily and only work 4 days a week. You are given a chance to try new things like painting and crating but you're often only given one chance. If you mess up you might not get a chance to redeem yourself. There are some things that I have been trained to do but have not given a chance to show them I can do it. Projects should be doled out to certain management, micromanaging is a problem causing problems and stress. Project management and logistics need vast improvement so projects are done in order, on time, on spec, on budget. Having no one real project manager, but multiple wannabes and one micromanager equals dropped balls and missed opportunities.
