What is the best part of working at the company?
You develop self-reliance very quickly.

Formal training is limited, communication can be inconsistent, and access to leadership outside certain functions may be minimal. If you prefer environments where you are left to build clarity on your own, this role provides that opportunity.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Operating without information.
Decisions are made without transparency, changes are implemented without communication, and teams are expected to perform without context.
Accountability is consistent. Communication is not.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Performance appears secondary to positioning.

Alignment with leadership carries more weight than measurable contribution, and deference is rewarded more consistently than independent thought. Those who prioritize proximity over principle tend to encounter fewer obstacles.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Adjust to changes.
Adjust to the re-changes.
Identify what was modified incorrectly.
Correct it.

Rebuild what was altered. Clarify what was never explained. Repair what was entirely avoidable.

Send communications into the void.
Then repeat tomorrow.

If you want a lot of money for overworking and being treated poorly by management then this is the job for you. You want to take a quick second to catch your breath working in 100 plus degree weather. Go ahead but be prepared to explain why you were standing there for 3 minutes. Advancement in the company is based on who you know and how well you brown nose. If you do get a better position it’s because you were the only one willing to do the hard work no one else wanted to do. They will use anything against you when you ask for a raise but won’t take into account everything you do for them( making them more money, making things easier, and staying late or working multiple Saturdays). Doesn’t matter because they will use your points against you. You point out bad management practices and they tell you that you need to communicate it but when you do they do nothing about it. They put all the work on someone if they are capable and intelligent, while the less intelligent management does absolutely nothing. They want you to work 12 plus hours a day, physical all day but don’t understand that people need to rest and have lives outside of work. I do not recommend working here. I only did because I needed the money. However I came to a realization that money is not everything. Enjoying what you do matter more.

My day is filled with meaningful work. The job we do here is important for the safety and well-being of the public. We consistently strive for continuous improvement and growth. The culture here is very empowering for those that truly want to grow, learn, and be successful! There are challenges when faced with new concepts and methods of getting things done. But facing and overcoming challenges is how we grow. The most enjoyable part of my job is getting to encourage and motivate those around me to succeed.

Since day 1 when I started management was already starting to pick on me and the other new guys, if they don’t like you they’ll throw a tantrum and throw things like tools on the ground in anger. All the management was unprofessional and their behavior was childish. The overtime is good if you like overtime but take advantage of it while you can because they do layoffs at least once or twice a year. The starting pay for general production is only $17/hr and the work is debilitating, you have to be able to lift 100lbs at least every 2 minutes when you work on the rebar skeletons for the concrete box structures and it’ll wear you out within 30 minutes. I wouldn’t recommend anybody work here. 

I was allowed  to take on responsibilities and tasks early on that many employers wait to allow.  This gave me a feeling of self worth and reliable dependability.  I know my field fairly well although one stumbling block was my inability to communicate in the native language, Spanish, which is spoken by most plant workers and jobsite workers.  Given this hardship I was able to over come for the most part, yet I believe I would have made a more lasting impression if I were fluent in Spanish and had been given the opportunity to correct minor behavioral attributes which may have been taken out of context.

This place will pull you every which direction to multiple different jobs without any training or knowledge of that task. Management has no clue how to properly match skills to positions and puts people in the wrong spot. Then they give them hardly any training and expect them to quickly excel. Upper company men come in and tell you everything is great and then talk bad behind your back like children. Same with HR. Their corporate HR lady is basically a child. Inept management and lack of proper training. I worked 16-18hrs a day, 5 days a week, half days on Saturday and Sunday to only be told it wasn’t good enough 

Management eh, not great they promote from within which is good but leads to people being in positions they can’t handle because they’ve been with the company X number of years. Work environment is hot HOT, it’s not climate control and the use steamers to cure the product so during the summer it’s hot, they shut down or lay off during the winter, never know when you’ll have to work a Saturday. To many stories of people not getting raises as promised. That was not my experience, I worked showed up everyday did what I knew needed to be done rather then waiting to be told and I got over 6$ in less like 6 months. Overall average job . They will litterly hire anyone.

Extremely toxic environment - you cannot grow no matter how much time and effort you put into your job. 

Turnover is crazy, they hire anyone and maybe train you for a day before throwing you into main production as well as constantly threatening employees with the whole there are cameras always watching and Texas is a hire/fire at will state. 

They throw team building and employee events is order to gain PR and so that the employees don't ask for a raise. 

Never go to HR, no form of loyalty or discretion. 

Ameritex likes to say they care for their employees and their family oriented your work life and family life balance is non-existent I got Wednesdays and Saturdays off that was it I got blamed for stuff I didn't do constantly threatening that Texas is it right to hire right the fire state and they will not hesitate to let you go for no reason they don't care about their employees everything is about production no with safety nothing only production
