BURNCO Rock Products Ltd

I’ve worked here a few different times more than just 2018, and each time has gotten worse and worse. They don’t care unless you’re ready to kill your body for this place. It used to be better when the new manager used to be the foreman and he actually used to help but since foreman got promoted to manager and the new foreman took over forget this place, Carlos will belittle you, threaten you and act like he’s the only person worth anything but half the plant falling apart (from what I hear) and it’s because all he does is rush and not fix anything properly. That I even saw but I personally left years ago because I cannot stand that guy and the way he treats people. For the unfortunate guys who stayed I’ve been informed how bad it is. I’d suggest going to another pit other than golden. Manager isn’t bad but I was lied to about my job and pushed back into a position I hated and with this guy running things I jumped off that sinking ship fast. As far as concrete side I don’t know how that is, they’re always buying new mixers but for mining stay away from golden or the lead named Carlos. You’ll see if you take a position there

I’ve learned that it’s important to choose meaningful work. There’s no advancement if you aren’t with the popular crowd regardless of qualifications. Management isn’t great. Upper management will drain you of your energy and time while they take off early regularly and leave operators with several hours of work left to complete. They tell you when to start for the day (it’s different everyday) and you’ll have no idea when you’re going home. You can’t leave until dispatch says it’s okay. You can work a 6 hour day or a up to a 14 hour day. You have zero control of your time. Often times if they are busy, you’re only required 10 hours off and they will schedule you in 10 hours on the dot from the time you clocked out. Customers aren’t always nice and the company doesn’t have your back. 

Just know the company’s needs will come before your personal life. You can’t schedule much of anything outside of work without taking time off to do it. 

What is the best part of working at the company?
The northern district has great bosses they listen and get stuff done. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Most stressful part of the job is we are underpaid as a heavy duty mechanic 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
It's great everyone treat you like family especially the smaller bosses. Especially my boss. It's a very diverse company and everyone is welcome to join the team!

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
I could go from working on a truck in my home shop to packing up a service truck to go to a location that's 2 hours away. Could be a simple task or a difficult task!

Employees are very helpful, but the management I felt was too stressful to uphold the cleanliness image the company wanted to uphold. The benefits of the company is limited on and is very high costs. There is a 401 k plan the company would match which is something that most companies don't offer was very nice. I needed some time off for family issues and the company was very cordial to the family issues. I felt like I was picked on as far as learning this job sometimes because I was told on a number of occasions that I needed to man up by management on some of the more difficult tasks that they require. I am thankful to have learned a new field of work.

The pay I feel was up to par with other companies. Benefits were good but not great. Dispatch acted like they were God or something and would talk down to drivers like they were too dumb to understand anything. The hours of operation are typical for the construction industry. You do work a lot of hours, 60-70, and you’re guaranteed to be off on Sunday. There are good mangers and there are a few managers that are very lazy at doing their jobs, (Not sure if those managers are still working for Burnco). Overall I would not mind working for this company again in the future. 

Haul drivers do not work for Burnco you will run a mixer ,  mandatory weekend work expect to run a mixer. Low ball pay. They pay you what ever they think is good can’t negotiate pay it’s ether you take it or leave it . TRUCKS HAVE CAMERAS Drive Cams always watching you , you can’t be on the phone even with Bluetooth , you can’t even touch your phone for every write up you get load bonus is taken away from you. Micro management. They make up rules as they go. Terrible  place to work management has taken a dump for the worst. dispatchers  are a bunch of rookies bunch of clowns trying to dispatch..  Don’t work for Burnco you’ll regret it .

It’s a good place to get your start  if you don’t have a drivers license and no experience Some of the plants dust collectors don’t work  well they shower cement dust  on you 
Wish DOT would  do an inspection on the trucks maintenance part of it severely lacking Plant  
Managers the Denver plant titan plant really don’t care about their drivers when you need Burnco to be there for you don’t expect them to be there

If you run a Haul truck for them expect to not get paid well expect to work long hours expect to deal with rude people and after you get done working your 12 hours you have to get out and do even more labor and they do not pay you enough for all the work you do I've never worked for such a bad company in my life the foreman was rude some of the people that work there were rude and a hiring manager especially was rude I would not recommend this place for anybody to work

Very fast paced job. Very long hours mon-sat. One day off. You do have job security. Very good money and ot due to the amount hrs u work. You have no life working here. Management just cares about production. They will not supply or replace any tools. If your not sweating your not working. Always understaffed because nobody wants to work that amount of time with that type of management. 

Burnco has a high emphasis on safety. As with all jobs in the Ready Mix world the schedule is random, in one day 2am and in the next at 8am. Knowing how to drive well and knowing how to adjust your concrete load makes the jobs you get easier.  The hardest part of the job is learning to manage your money for the slow winter season.
