Dead End Job.........

Pros

Occasional year end bonuses, work is Monday through Friday, regular business hours, 40 hours a week is standard, maybe some overtime

Cons

Would give zero stars if it was an option. Micromanagement (to the extreme), bad benefits, stuffy, negative vibe everywhere you go. Think of the movie Office Space but in the construction industry. They put cameras at every location and call you if you're doing something they don't like. This happens quite a bit. If one person whines about something trivial, the WHOLE company has to change what they do in order to appease the whiner, which happens a couple times a month. Also, the company issued iPhones a while back. It appeared to be a great idea until they opted to put tracking apps on everyone's phones. Once this started, the sales people were getting questioned about where they were, how come you were here, why weren't you there, why did you visit this location for only 5 minutes, etc, etc, etc. Probably the best regional sales guy in the state left and went up North to MUCH better run company due to all of this craziness. His numbers and professionalism were off the chart but Scafco was more interested in babysitting than appreciating their employees. The owner is a good guy but I guess he doesn't want to be the one who gets in his employees business... so, in turn, those delegated to run things micromanage and mess life up for everyone else on a regular basis. This is a company that people go to die, career wise. It would be wise to look elsewhere for employment. I am a former employee leaving an honest review. If you read a review that contradicts the above info, I'd be careful. As much as the company watches what you do, monitors your computer use and spies on it's employees, it wouldn't surprise me if they had a couple of their "yes man zombies" come on this site and give fake reviews. LOOK OUT and do yourself a favor and look elsewhere.

Toxic Work Environment

Pros

None; anything that could be perceived as good is carefully disguised because Senior Management and especially the Owner/President have ulterior motives for everything they do.

Cons

No trust for anyone. Constant spying. No work flexibility. Treat employees like children rather than professionals, which results in getting the bare minimum out of everyone. An environment of mild to very open threats. Employees are fearful of losing their jobs if they speak out. Management and supervision are constantly throwing each other and subordinates under the bus. There is open humiliation and mistreatment, from the Owner on down. There is no desire to improve. An employee opinion survey was completed a couple of years ago and the Owner did nothing about it and falsified the results. A couple of managers have been guilty of harassment and predatory behavior. One is finally gone but two are still employed. An indication of the how much they care about subordinate employees. Sorry only goes so far! Too bad some employees don't force the issue and get true justice. A good SCAFCO employee/manager is one that can be controlled and manipulated by the Owner and the rest of upper management. Many positions are overpaid based on the market, just in hopes of retaining them longer than they would otherwise. Turnover is high and constant. There are ads in almost every Sunday paper. It would be difficult to find a worse place to work in Spokane County. If you are considering working there or have received an offer, talk to someone who has been there and then RUN AWAY!!
