Pros

Vulcan is a good, solid company with great benefits and great employees. With the recent promotion of Tom Hill to CEO, we now have a great forward vision that was missing in the past. With the economy picking up, Vulcan is poised to do great things in the future.

Cons

Some upper management positions are filled with the wrong people just because they've been with the company a long time. In my opinion, positions should be filled with the most qualified people and not filled with people due to their longevity with the company.

Pros

The pay is competitive . They offer a good benefits package. They also do a 401K match which is better than most companies. Company wide everybody receives boot allowance and safety equipment.

Cons

The work schedule is unpredictable. There is NO opportunity for advancement within the company. Work/Life balance does not exist. Management is out of Sync. Operates under the good ole' boy system.
