Pros
None. Literally none. The social media department will bury this post with fake positive posts to make it not at the top of the list.
Cons
I understand the coronavirus pandemic has affected the world. This is not Sachse’s fault. The way they handled this is despicable. I’ve sat through numerous company state of the unions where Todd Sachse proclaimed “we’re ready for a recession”. Day 1 of construction shutdown due to the Michigan’ governors executive order, Todd Sachse cut everyone’s pay 10%. I should think a company of this size would have enough liquidity to weather at least a few weeks (if not months) of payroll. I guess not. Furthermore it was then told to us that Sachse was able to the secure funding of a payroll protection loan. A loan they don’t have to pay back no less. Yet the 10% pay cut remains. As of May 7th, construction has resumed in Michigan and numerous Sachse team members have returned to construction sites while still at 90% of their pay despite, the dangers of being in contact with others and risking their health and wellness. Bottom line. Sachse construction went into this pandemic flush with cash. Instead of “doing the right thing” by their employees and paying them, they decided their employees should make sacrifices so they could keep their cash. They then went further to obtain more cash through an SBA loan and still didn’t give employees 100% pay. It does not reassure me that this “company will be around for its 100 year anniversary” when they couldn’t weather a 3 week construction shutdown. I don’t want a holiday party. I don’t want happy hours. frankly, I will not fill out another best places to work survey ever again. I want my pay! 100%. “Do whatever it takes”. Return the pay retroactively to when you took it. Expect a large turnover in staff once this all blows over. Numerous others feel the same way.
