American Stone

I genuinely enjoy my position here with American Stone, it's my career and I will retire from here. Management values input and the team culture is collaborative and inclusive. The customers are all genuinely great, and this position allows me to use my leadership skills and creativity. Being a part of this company and its growth is extremely satisfying, and gives you a sense of accomplishment you won't see at a big box retailer. The company does not offer insurance but does offer compensation to cover the cost of insurance, as well as many other benefits including a 401K- they've put together a competitive package that makes a big difference in our lives.  

Spoken to several former employees. A common theme is they (and I) felt offer, compensation, and benefits were misleading. Benefits and work life balance are not as advertised.

If you think you're being hired as a salaried employee, you're not. Make sure you understand exactly what that means. If you think the 401k match thing is a true 401k match, it isn't. Very few other benefits and PTO is borderline unethical.

At the time of this writing, the company is going through some transition. The old guard installed a very us against them mentality, meaning ownership against employees. Because it is family owned, the new generation still has some of this deep in the culture.

Having said that, the new generation is trying hard to move forward with systems and other improvements.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Working for owner, son and daughter whom all give 3 different directions and opinions. No benefits, equipment is older and not kept up. Thirty five foot dump trailer without trailer breaks! No records kept etc….

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Poor working conditions that are never addressed even when offered to assist 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Stressful, frustrating and forgot to mention no bathrooms for myself. The only bathroom is in the owners office that he and his family use

When I started in October of 2022 the company was preparing to move to a new location. This has been a HUGE undertaking and although it has made my process of learning the business more challenging I believe it is definitely worth it.  We have an opportunity to build the business to new and grander heights and everyone work's together as a team to further that goal. I feel Blessed to have been presented the opportunity to be a part of this company!

A restructured management approach over the past 2+ years at American Stone has taken a casual, fun job and has added structure, professionalism and opportunity.  The atmosphere I always felt was a "fun place to work and make some money until something better comes along" is gone.  Now it's just as fun, but it's turned into a career, not just a job.

Day to day work easy, Co-workers are Great and helpful. Always something to do in the yard like re-stacking and restocking pallets keeping the yard clean and hazard free and production orders. Manager is a good understanding person and will work with your schedule with enough of a heads up.

Great Company. Great Management. Typical Day consists of answering phones and assisting both the HR and Recruiting Director in daily clerical needs: answering phones, assisting in hiring process (phone screens, in person interviews, running background checks, filing employee paperwork, preparing offer letters, etc). Daily routines change as it is an ever-changing industry/company constantly growing.

Sell stone was something I new nothing about , but the owners gave me the tools I needed to be their number one Sales Person.  I loved traveling to meet new Dealers , working with contactors, landscapers, and masons all over Utah.  Working high profile home and garden shows.

The accounting department is very small. This means that everybody in the department has to learn how to do everything. You may be given a job to do on a regular basis, but you will be expected to make sure someone is trained to do that job if you are unavailable. I've learned how to do more within accounting than I thought I would my first job out of college.

This company has some really good employees. My general manager was the reason I stayed so long. The people higher up above him were the reason I left. Payroll would just take your pto away if you didn’t hit a certain amount of hours without telling you ahead of time. But they cut your hours and make it almost impossible to hit is. They are penny pinchers and it makes it hard to stay.
