Oldcastle Infrastructure reviews

Required Saturdays during summer has changed to nearly all year round Saturday (two weekends /month) They just expected us to be ok with that regardless of our personal schedules. I (and minimum of four other people) was told we would receive an automatic raise after 3 months - that never happened for any of us despite asking repeatedly. Many workers do not speak any English whatsoever so there is a constant disconnect in effective communication. Worked there 2 years only to find out the new guy made more money than I do, doing WAY less work in the same position. People promoted to management positions based on time at company without ANY leadership training or leadership skills. Production at the facility doubled / workload increased dramatically but pay rates did not! Concrete cures (heats while curing) inside the facility turning it into an oven. Not climate controlled. THE EXHAUST FANS IN THE ROOF DO NOT WORK TO PROVIDE PROPER VENTILATION. Leaky roof causes extra work because the water has to be swept out of the building every time it rains. Concrete manufacturing is very dusty and has silica particles which are a health hazard. Minimal dust control measures are taken. Products are shown in training videos that help with safe cleaning / housekeeping of this dust but NOT ACTUALLY PROVIDED AT THE FACILITY. Continually attacked by mosquitoes! Disgusting standing water in concrete structures left out in the rain for years without draining or pumping water out makes for perfect mosquito factories. Water is NOT treated, and nothing is done to mitigate this problem so everyone is forced to cover themselves with DEET containing repellents (cans of OFF! Deep woods provided by company.) The mosquito problem is a definite health hazard and makes for miserable working conditions.

They are racist. No promotions and work life balance sucks. They only care about their numbers not the employees
