Pros

Very solid company with great family values. Financially sound. Growth mindset. Empowered management. Safety has truly become a core value - well done!

Cons

Too content with the status quo at times. Some important members of the executive team are significantly "out of touch" with current operations. Some facilities are deteriorating and beyond economical repair.

Pros

Pay is decent, insurance is great. Most of the employees are easy to work with.

Cons

The way things are done in the WI region are way different than the MO counter part. There are at times 3 employees in MO for every 1 employee per job duty in Wi. It’s stressful. Half the managers have no clue how to manage people. They have certain locations when there is a poor performing employee, we just shuffle them to another department. This is brewing poor attitudes of those who work hard. Presently a system conversion is happening. Most of us are realizing we are being used, abused and beaten down until system merge and then a lot of people will be let go whether management admits it or not. Please don’t boast making a billion dollars, and when departments are begging for help, you tell them “there’s no money for it”. We were asked to post reviews so I think there are some “loaded reviews” posted on here. Buyer beware would be my advice.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. The system conversion you mentioned is necessary in order to continue growing successfully as a combined organization. That said, we also understand that such a large project takes dedication from all employees - the type of focused hard work that we very much appreciate. Certain positions have been identified that will no longer be needed after the project has been completed due to the synergies gained from one common business system, the employees in those positions were given 12 months’ notice of such decision to provide them with adequate time to prepare for such transition. Those employees, as with any employee, are encouraged to review the Company’s Internal Job Postings for current open positions and apply if interested. We also encourage all employees to write authentic reviews (just as open and honest as this one is). We would never ask for canned feedback or specific ratings. Receiving real reviews from past and present employees is a goal of ours so we appreciate and value your input here. In terms of need for additional support without follow through from management, we would like to discuss this with you further. Please contact a member of the HR department as this is a matter of great importance to us. Thank you for your candid feedback—we appreciate it as it will help us continue to grow and improve. We look forward to hearing from you.
