Armstrong Steel Corp

As an employee of Armstrong Steel, I can confidently say that it is an exceptional company to work for. The company's culture is built on integrity, hard work, and a commitment to excellence, which is reflected in everything they do. 

One of the most significant strengths of Armstrong Steel is its leadership team. The management is supportive, approachable, and genuinely cares about the well-being and success of their employees. They provide ample opportunities for professional development and growth, as well as a collaborative work environment where everyone's input is valued and respected.

In addition to the supportive work culture, Armstrong Steel also offers competitive compensation and benefits packages, including health insurance, retirement plans, and vacation time. The company also invests in the latest technology and equipment to ensure that their employees have the resources they need to do their jobs safely, efficiently, and effectively. 

One of the most rewarding aspects of working at Armstrong Steel is the sense of pride that comes with being part of a company that is making a real difference in people's lives. The company's mission is to help people build their dreams through quality steel buildings, and it is inspiring to be part of such a purpose-driven organization. 

Overall, Armstrong is an outstanding company to work for. From the supportive work culture to the competitive compensation and benefits, to the opportunity to make a real difference in people's lives, I am grateful to be part of this dynamic and growing company.    

I was employed for maybe two months and saw more than ten people come and go. That's really all that needs to be said. Their employee retention is clearly beyond lackluster - favoritism is rampant. Obviously, most jobs aren't a true meritocracy; however, this place is a joke.

 When I first got hired, one of the more tenured employees got promoted. Despite making less sales and having worse metrics than almost every employee, they still got promoted. I mention this because, being a new hire, their promotion did not impact me in any way. This is an objective analysis of the situation. There were clearly other people more qualified, yet they were passed up for this individual. Not only did they have less sales, but their call time was consistently the worst (or among the bottom 3) on the entire floor. Management also promoted another person who hadn't even made a single sale, while simultaneously chastising those who only made one or two for the entire month. They treated their tenured, top salespeople like trash - they made two of their top earners quit in one day. 

I left on my own terms and didn't look back. Do yourself a favor and keep scrolling. 

The company is a small company that is facing the challenges of growing, but in a responsible way. If you are expecting everything to be handed to you on a silver platter, this is not the company for you. If you are willing to put hard work and getting your hands dirty (figuratively and literally depending on your job), then this is the place to work.  Because we are a small company, your co-workers are like family. You lean on them for knowledge and experience. The projects the we get to work on are stimulating and fascinating. Advancement and training are available, but you have to be willing to step up to the plate and take advantage on your opportunities. There is a strong work-life balance. Medical, dental and vision are paid partially by the company. PTO and 401k are also provided.
Like all work environments, not everything is picture perfect.  There are a lot of egos that you have to contend with. Communication between departments is lacking at times, especially in non-management positions. Work flow can, at times, be trying. There are times when you have projects that were assigned in the morning and are due yesterday, and then there are times, the only projects you have, aren’t due for three months.

Working at Armstrong was a very fun experience for me, management does an outstanding job at training and will make sure you have all of the right tools and will give you constant feedback on how to grow. Compensation is insanely good, but getting it is not easy.
The position is mainly calling people over the phone, most of them not expecting to be called. Warm leads are provided daily so you will build a healthy book in no time. However, due to the nature of the industry, most people are just either windowshopping or just not serious enough, so you definitely have to know how to handle rejection. 
Naturally, the company expects you to reach a monthly quota and meeting it is very tough, so there is a heavy rotation in reps within the company. Management will try to help you out as much as they can but at the end of the day, it is pretty much luck if you find a customer who is "ready to buy". Persistence is key, but you need time to build it, and unfortunately, you always have a timer ticking against you.

I work at Armstrong Steel, and while there are some positives, overall the experience didn’t quite meet my expectations.

The onboarding process was fairly rushed, and it felt like we were thrown into high-pressure sales without enough training or product knowledge. Management talked a lot about growth and opportunity, but in practice, it felt more like a churn-and-burn environment. The focus was heavily on making the sale—sometimes at the expense of accuracy or customer satisfaction.

The office culture was hit or miss. Some coworkers were great and supportive, but the atmosphere could be competitive in a not-so-healthy way. Upper management wasn't always approachable, and feedback often went ignored.

Pay was commission-based with a low base, so income potential depended a lot on leads—which weren’t always fairly distributed. Burnout seemed pretty common among the team.

Overall, Armstrong isn’t the worst place to work, but I wouldn't call it a long-term career destination. There's potential there if they invest more in employee development and internal communication, but it's not quite there.

You only have to make a minimum of 100 calls a day and you have a script to help both you and the customer go through each process as smooth and easy as possible (without them even knowing it). This job is not hard, but effort is required in order to be successful (as any job is). The work environment is what makes it all worth it (and the amazing rewards and recognition). Everyone who works at Armstrong is outgoing, friendly, helpful, and just the right amount of fun to make it enjoyable. I don’t say this often but the management here is so amazing. They are more than willing to work with you on bettering yourself as a building consultant and do what they can to help you achieve your goals. With that being said, they won’t hold your hand through everything, but will give you the tools you need to succeed. This job has its challenges and is not for everyone, but if you’re good with people, you can read, and have the ability to learn …chances are you will succeed at this job. 

I worked there just shy if 5 months. DO NOT WORK HERE !! First of all it’s nearly impossible to sell anything due to how high the margins are. I had to leave due to an emergency on the 9th , sold a building and in there policy it states that if you leave before the 20th you don’t get paid for anything you sell. So unless you like wasting your time and just dialing this is the right job for you! And if you like working at a place where the managers talk about covid and who’s president everyday you’ll like this job.  The managers don’t ever help. And the business practice was totally unacceptable! I feel bad for the customers I sold knowing they are going to get screwed over :/ They have the highest turnover as well. New hire training class every 2 weeks! That should say it all!!!! 

Worked for Armstrong for 85 days and was let go due to a lack of sales, 0.0 to be exact. Despite this, I still got up every morning excited to come in. The camaraderie you build with your teammates, both new and old, even under a week, is unlike anything I’ve experienced in my career. The culture is great from the CEO, to the VP, to the direct managers. They do care about your success because without it, there is no longer a business. 

That being said metrics are important to hit and it’s vital to hit the ground running your first day out of training. Be natural, and listen to the managers and your coworkers who are consistently cashing $15-$20-$25,000 checks per month and you should be fine.

Great people, collaborative environment. Listening to clients needs and presenting them with solutions was rewarding. I learned a lot at Armstrong from my managers and co-workers. The sale is a challenging one and the objections to overcome can vary. But I learned more about myself working at Armstrong than anywhere else. The skills I learned there gave me the confidence I have today. However, high ticket sales are not for the faint of heart. 

Anybody who had beem in sales knows that it can be a stressful job at times, but working here, because of the incentives, spiffs, and daily challenges it really makes me enjoy coming to work. I used to be a clock watcher at my last job but find myself wanting to stay late and make that next call. It is definitely a positive, family environment. I love it here.
