What is the best part of working at the company?
The best part of working at COUNTY is the culture of curiosity and forward thinking. There is a strong emphasis on asking the right questions, always looking ahead, and making constructive efforts to improve—both individually and as a team.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The most stressful part of working at COUNTY is balancing high expectations with constantly changing priorities. While the fast pace drives growth and innovation, it can be challenging to stay aligned and manage workload during periods of rapid change.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
The work environment is mostly positive and easygoing. People are supportive, work well together, and are open to ideas and improvement—minus a few bad apples, which you’ll find anywhere. Overall, it still feels like a team moving in the right direction.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
A typical day usually involves checking emails, following up with customers, and working through priorities as they come up. There’s a good mix of independent work and team communication, solving problems, and keeping things moving forward. No two days are exactly the same, which helps keep the job interesting.

When you walk through the doors at County Materials you will find a few distinct things about this company: 

1. Support - I have been provided many opportunities to travel the country to learn and educate myself about our product, industry, and company. They invest in my future by also providing me with ample opportunities to enhance personal skills (Dale Carnegie Training through industry partners) , and career skills (relevant and frequent sales training). 

2. Opportunity - If you have work ethic and are willing to apply yourself, County Materials recognizes this through providing you opportunity to learn and most importantly advance your career. This is a fact!
3. Culture - Being a large Company, I feel County Materials has still held onto the values of a family owned business. It is a very down to earth, blue collar company that shows appreciation for its people. This can be directly observed from the top down. 

4. Community - The Sonnentag family provides and encourages opportunities to support different groups and aspects of the communities that we live in. Through the Sonnentag Foundation, County Materials holds a genuine interest in supporting our veterans,  local schools, and many other community aspects within their out reach. 

I loved my job as a patcher which is one of the jobs out there no one wants to do. We bought another company in Indianapolis,IN and there expect perfect pipe meaning no cracks, no divots, no imperfections which doesn't happen  with porous material or material that cures during its whole life span. So meeting company demands i look over the pipe 3 or 4 times making the pipe look "perfect" and of course during transit to job sites or to the Indy yard something always breaks. so with all this added work needing done on are pipe and other structures and me being the only one in the yard to work on them I requested  help and was told i was gonna get 3 months later still no help. Management doesn't care about there employees or there safety or the old non sufficient equipment we use. Its all about quantity over quality. I stuck it out as long as long as I could there. I won't recommend any buddy to work out there.

I felt a part of the company family. When new projects came up, I was asked about my opinion and strategies. The people I worked with were nice. The HR department worked to keep employees up to date on current issues. The company has many locations in Wisconsin. I was able to go to some of these locations as part of my job continuing education. I enjoyed working with many brick companies around the United States. I learned how to order material and how to define the different types. I worked with many online Truck companies. I arranged to bring in brick from all over. This included by truck and by rail and less than truck load. I worked overtime in the summer when building was at its peak. Winters were slow but I had winter projects to do. The hardest part of my job was having too tell brick salespeople that trucking was not available for their project. Either it was because of less than a full load and very busy conditions. Management was ok. When you mastered your job, you were not micromanaged.

If it weren't for acquisitions, they'd have no employees.

Management
Alexithymics are literal-minded, display little imagination, and typically are unable to describe or even recognize their feelings.

Narcissists have a binary tendency to idealize and devaluate. Typically, their grandiosity is a childhood coping mechanism compensating for a sense of inadequacy.

Passive-Aggressive describes a person who expresses negative feelings indirectly and shies away from confrontation. They go through life being outwardly accommodating but obstructive in an underhanded way.

Overall
Just because a company exists and generates revenue, doesn't make it a good company. The only way to end a toxic relationship, is by ceasing to enable it.

Toxic workplace environment, poor employee morale. Negativity , antagonism, bullying, condescending behaviors are deeply ingrained in the company culture, leading to reduced employee well-being and productivity. The workplace environment stress is dense, there's poor communication, and a lack of psychological safety from leadership. There's a higher turnover, and absenteeism. Leaders lack the college education to effectively foster open communication to lead team members to work together towards a common vision and to strive for excellence. Overall, I wouldn't recommend this toxic workplace culture and low employee morale environment to anyone. This place is by far the most demoralizing place I have ever worked at. 

You start the day not knowing your role, and if you ask, the team leader treats you like a child, so to avoid that, you try to jump in and help, only to be yelled at and told you're not doing the right thing, even if you are doing the right thing. Fact of the matter is; the team leader has been working there too long, expects everyone to know what he does from day one and does nothing to train you.

On days without said team-leader, you work hard as a team to get the job done. Noone still really knows what's going on but you're able to ask.

Extremely unsafe company to work for they have you go into live electrical panels and want you to fix things when you don’t have the proper training, poor management, horrible training, if your not buddy buddy with the bosses they will treat you like dirt and push you out, they have horrible pay for what they want and expect you to do, you can pretty much sit on your phone all day and let bad product go buy and no one cares, absolutely NO accountability what so ever there, they have a high turn over rate because it is that bad of a place to work, they treat their employees horribly, barely any appreciation for their employees, horrible raises, health insurance is outrageously expensive too

County Materials Management has a negative impact on the employees. Instead of being leaders or mentors they are bosses. Management was very arrogant with big egos. 

Most employees seem to be overly stressed and unhappy at Count Materials. I did not feel appreciated or valued and I know other people didn't as well. Goals were unclear. Yearly sales goals were always presented in the middle of the year and were different from previous year. I felt that myself and other employees had  little autonomy.

Overall a negative work culture and poor management. 
There is alot of turnover and I can see why. I would not recommend.

I agree with all the previous reviews. Management is poor. They are rude and treat you like you are stupid. They do not want your ideas much less will they listen to them. Actually I was yelled at for giving a suggestion. My job title is aggregate operator. I was hired for offroad dump truck driver. But only did thst for about 2 months. Now I never know what i will be doing the next week. Instead of driving truck or operating I'm a laborer. But they will hire new kids (18-20yr old) for the position you hired in for even giving them more hours and pay.....while you are demoted to labor and treated like garbage.
