Pros

Good pay and good benefits

Cons

As a minority you can not move up to higher positions, my opinion is the company is racist, I had to leave because of that, I moved on to a better job where I can move up and I have, I was with Hanson for 32 years and there's no excuse for me not to move up.

Heidelberg Materials Response

Thank you for your review and over 30 years of service to Heidelberg Materials. I'm sorry to hear that you left due to better job opportunities elsewhere. Earlier this year, we hired a DEI leader to help us begin to build more diverse and inclusive talent pipelines to address the workforce challenges the heavy building materials industry faces. Although this work is just beginning, we always accept employee feedback through our "Speak Up" line or you can contact your HR representative for support.
