ARDEX Americas

Overall, a pretty good place to work. The people are friendly. The benefits are great. There are 11 paid holidays and a pretty standard PTO scale based on seniority. Employees are permitted to work from home twice a month with manager approval, and there are flexible scheduling options to allow for a great work/life balance. Ongoing training is also offered which is a perk, and there are programs for tuition reimbursement. 

I wouldn't say this is a particularly "fun" office atmosphere. Sure, there's a room with a beanbag chair and a Foosball table, but I have never seen anyone actively use either for fear of judgement. The tone of the corporate office is very serious, almost morose, which can be great for productivity, but not for morale. The other major downfall is the lack of push for change. The company seems to be set in it's ways and should start becoming more flexible to expand the company and help attract top talent in the future. 

The leadership team is fair and friendly and seem to genuinely care about the business and the employees. Most managers follow this lead and are collaborative and understanding. There are some who are more difficult to work with, but you will find that at any company.

 All in all, the good outweighs the bad and at the end of the day. For this reason, I would recommend working at Ardex!

Prepare to work hard and not make much money. If the company couldnt afford to pay more money that would be one thing. But not long after I quit they spent millions to get a new road made for the office people to drive on. But I couldn't make more money. They want you to pretty much bust your butt for the whole shift so the company can make millions while I can't get a raise. And if you don't suck up to the shift leaders you can forget about advancing in this company. I only worked there for 6 months and there were at least a dozen instances where a guy kissed the group leaders butt got away with doing nothing while I had to do his job the whole shift. And lastly you don't know which job you are going to work on day to day. You could have the most seniority in the plant and get stuck doing the worst job there. While others suck up to the shift leaders and get put on a cake job. And if you make the shift leader mad you'll get stuck on one of the worst jobs. All in all if you really need a job go ahead and take it. But don't plan on making a career there.

I've been with ARDEX Americas over five years.  I wish I had landed here at the beginning of my career as I could be like so many others here and have 20, 30 or 40 years with the company -- that's how long people stay.  ARDEX is one of those unique companies that is large enough to offer great pay and benefits, yet small enough to treat each employee as an individual.  The company has made great strides in the past few years by offering PTO instead of vacation time vs. sick time, and allows employees the opportunity to work flexible hours - hours that best suit their families.  Management holds employees accountable for the work they deliver, but are always available for advice, to mentor on a project or to listen to concerns.  This is the first time in my career that I've thought, "I want to retire from this company."  Highly recommended.

I've been with ARDEX several years - and my experience is very good.  If you work hard, you get to share your ideas,  and put them into action. You can walk right into the President's office, and just have a conversation. People are friendly, and want to help you.  If you're ideas driven, and want to be involved in project teams, take on board extra responsibility - it's there. 

Just in the past few years, they've introduced flexible work time (which makes a ton of difference if you have to commute or have a family).  And they're very loyal - to a fault sometimes, but they'll always try and find a way to a way to work with someone.

I'm in the corporate office, and have had the benefit of being able to attend on-site training sessions in advanced computer skills - in work time!  And the company provided it.

Don't be fooled by the 5 star ratings. Read all the reviews at Indeed Job search and you will come to realize the pattern and true culture at ARDEX. Those giving 5 stars are obviously trying to right the ship and trying to bump up positive rating.  The negative reviews posted by current / previous employees are real,  I dealt with the worst management.  Read all the reviews and form your own opinion. If you get to interview ask questions about work culture, training etc... A nice castle on the outside may hide a rotten core on the inside. Good people in sales got let go, a great plant manager in TX got let go hard working people at the plants not appreciated. It's a sad case of turning a blind eye to a sestimic problem that needs to be fixed.

I have worked for Ardex for several years now and I found the posting on the Indeed iPhone app.

I am very happy working at Ardex, I was meant to do this job!
I wouldn't say it is an easy job, it can be challenging.  But I like a challenge!  

Ardex really values practical, real-world, or building trades experience. If you work hard, take the time to learn about the products and the business you WILL be rewarded.

It is a very stable company will a lot of resources that will and has survived in a rapidly evolving world of construction and building trades.  It is a global company, but it seems more like a local business down the street.  I plan on retiring here!

I've been with the company for nearly four years and have had an exceptional experience! I've been given multiple opportunities to move up, take on more responsibilities and yes, make more money! I've noticed that over the past few years the company has been very dedicated to making the workplace culture an industry elite. ARDEX is a global, family owned business that operates like a family owned business. The management team has always been very approachable and open to new ideas and suggestions. If you're willing to work hard and be a team player its a great place to work!

ARDEX needs to look hard at whats broken. Employee culture is broken. Micro management and managers that don't understand or listen to the team thats doing their part to make sure company is successful. ARDEX NEEDS TO GET ITS ACT TOGETHER and look for new and more modern management style of doing business and listening to the employees. Seems majority of VP's  and directors are too old school and practice the "What I say goes" management style of doing things. ARDEX needs to get younger.

Overall I give this company an F in many areas.

The management is absolutely terrible, they gossip about all the employees. There is  no communication between shift leaders and regular employees. You have to train yourself because they sure don't. And if you want a promotion it has nothing to do with how hard you work. Its all about kissing up to certain people. The jobs themselves are boring and repetitive. The air quality inside the factory is terrible due to deadly chemical dust constantly in the air.

The manager for the lab technicians is pretty rude. She’s very disrespectful & tends to cuss you out when she’s upset that and most of my coworkers didn’t do much work & would pass it on to me. Sometimes the labs are a mess, trash is all over the floor. For the most part most of the coworkers are nice & great to get along with, if you get a lab tech position it’s constant testing upon data entry. Not bad for the pay but can get tiring. You are expected to test everything in a 8 hr shift to not get behind. It’s mid. I would’ve stayed & put more effort if it weren’t for rude management & lazy coworkers.
