Pros

CEO is a great man and I respect him, along with the Tyvek Sales mgr and Sales Manager in Sacramento. They are the only reason I give any credit to this company at all.

Cons

Had my compensation package changed three times in an 8 month span with each change taking more and more commission out of our pockets and into managements hands, as managers get a kick back for cutting costs. They make you front all company related business expenses and only reimburse 70% of the federal rate for mileage. Too many middle managers looking for ways to cut costs than how to support the individuals that are promoting the company for them. The lumberhead approach will be eventually what strips them of one of the largest national brands in the construction industry.

Pros

Well known name in the building materials distribution industry... but that could be a bad thing also.

Cons

Constantly changing management. If your a crappy manager, they will just shuffle you around to new fancy named positions. If your friends with the Hart's, you will go far, if not, good luck! Everyone else is expendable. Constantly changing compensation packages to suite the profitability of the company and benefit of the management. Management makes incentive pay for cutting costs on the sales team, and that also includes salaries. Management is full of a bunch of "YES MEN" no spine to fight for what is right for the employees. There is soo much management now that one wonders if this is a government agency now rather than a private organization. Micro-management is out of control.

Pros

The best reason to work for tis company is because its a family owned. Working for family owned companys its much better than private owned, relationship between eployer and employee is closer, also they look up for their employees needs professional and personal. Benefits are much better that a prive company, sometimes they offer school grant program to helpr the employees's kids when they're ready for college.

Cons

The bad part of working at Oreac, since this is a Millwork wood products, every year during winters season job slows down du to the weather climate. Construction slows down due to the rain and other climate issues during this time, that's the main reason why affects the company as well.
