This corporation takes over good family-owned companies full of hard working, valued employees, and destroys them. Not enough money is put into maintaining the plant facilities and machines, so employees are forced to make do with run down, sub-par equipment, and then are punished for low production or bad product when they have to spend their own time trying to repair shoddy equipment themselves. Oldcastle treats employees like they are just a number, hiring and firing at the drop of a hat. The mandatory scheduled shifts for plant workers are a minimum of 10-12 hours per day, 5 days a week plus most Saturdays, for hard, manual labor with little to no breaks. If you are a good worker trying to scratch together any sort of living for yourself by going above & beyond and receiving favorable performance reviews, you can earn meager pay increases but BEWARE, they will cut anyone and everyone near the top of the pay scale for bogus reasons just to try to make the plant appear more profitable. This company is stealing employee's money too, because that mandatory Unemployment Compensation tax you pay to fund unemployment insurance will never, ever come back to you since the company's blanket policy is to fight EVERY SINGLE unemployment claim, regardless of what happened. Plant supervisors have it much easier laborers though, mine showed up hungover most days and only works 20-30 hours/week, never on a weekend. The maintenance supervisor was useless and would just lean on a trash can and laugh at operators who were trying to get their machines up and running again themselves while his stack of work orders for repairs went untouched.
