Champion Installs, Inc.

I really enjoyed working there but unfortunately had to leave after only 3 months due to medical reasons. My co-workers that I did meet were great!  Even though each job may be a different team of people all were quick to make me feel welcome and included. Our days were productive as everyone worked together to get the job done.  I worked under 2 different project managers and both were supportive and informative, one giving me the opportunity to learn new skills of every area of a project by assigning me to an area I had never worked before so that I would know all areas of a merchandising project, start to finish, giving me the opportunity to advance in the company in the future if I so chose. 
Travel was the best part.  There are opportunities to go all over the country, even Hawaii!  When working for them, don't know if it is the same now, what assignments you agree to work determines your schedule for how long on the road but they usually like you to commit to minimum 3 weeks, prefer 4-6.  Everything is paid for, rental car, hotel, flight, $20/day per diem and travel time. 
 My pay was $135/day.  As hard as we worked, depending on the job, some deserved more pay in my opinion. Most upper management employees were extremely helpful, with the exception of a few, but overall good values and culture.  I plan to request employment with them again if I decide to return to this career field. 


Working at champion wasn’t a bad experience for me until the end. It’s a pretty simple job once you get the hang of it… got to travel the west coast all places I’ve been but still nice to get away from my home town… clocking in and out using your mobile phone. Travel ban van usually to the job site doing fixture installs and after you merchandise the store repetitive mundane work…but if you have no work experience or haven’t done any work in the construction or carpentry fields this company doesn’t have the proper management or employees who can properly train anyone. Worker morale is as low as I’ve ever seen at a job. Most coworkers don’t hold themselves to any professional standard and quite frankly it was embarrassing to be around people with such a lack of self awareness. Managers are hit or miss depending on who you get and it will always be random. Who may get a crew that’s formed cliques and that’s where you’ll see that favoritism and it’s to the point where it’ll be a hinderance to the progress of the project. Company loves to hire wanna be thugs as well so that’s a funny dynamic that you’ll have to maneuver through. They pick and choose who gets a rental and who doesn’t which leads to problems and you’ll hear plenty about who the company’s were provide services for pay enough for use to have our own rentals and rooms so pretty much no one is remotely happy people just going through the motions…

No benefits. No work life balance at ALL. Be prepared to stay in sleazy hotels that may or may not have bed bugs. California is the only state where you can get paid time off. You get wrote up for everything. We are all adults yet your coworkers will call the office on you for sneezing the wrong way. Hr seems to be more concerned with what you’re doing with your personal time than what your actually doing at work. If you get sick you get punished for calling in. Most people don’t make it past the first 90 day probation period because you find out rules and regulations as you go. Even if you make it past the 90 days be ready to be on eggshells with the company as they are eagerly looking to discipline you. Once you make HR upset they mess with your hours/projects. You’ll sit at home and won’t make any money. Communication between team members and HR is god awful. They do pay for flights but if your in certain regions you’ll only be working in those regions period. If HR can find a way to not pay for something they will. They are cheap.

Mean girls in the office.  Management backed up bullying. The culture was very pretend nice and then mean girls. Typical day was  sitting at my desk and sometimes being lectured for what not to say. The employee before left for being bullied too and they laughed while telling me. The hardest part was not the work it was the evident of being around mean girls. The most enjoyable part was leaving. Workplace culture, management. I really learned got to appreciate and be inclusive to  all employees at my future work place.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Meeting new people They do pay for travel But be aware of the hotels they put you in.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Worries about the accommodations and the favoritism
It's a family company and they have plenty of personal friends and family that works with the company

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Can be very petty everyone is looking to report others on pettiness, The leads don't care enough everyone brown missing to get ahead. They care more about the clients than their workers. I have encountered racesm!

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
I was a lead so trying to make sure everyone is up and prepared for work and the tasks at hand

Management wants you to do various jobs that was not agreed upon and not work you until the end of the month. You get one good week a month then you don’t hear from them until they need you. Went five weeks without hearing from management and didn’t even reply to my texts during business hours. Once they had a emergency they called me and expected me to go out and do on the weekend. Champion recruits promising they have a lot of work then say sales went down and leave you sit at home knowing you quit a job to better yourself and then they can’t fill your schedule. They are company first customer second and employees and contractors are last. Don’t take the gamble stay with your guaranteed money. 

Always grateful for any opportunity given! But this company needs to make their employees feel like it’s a career instead of a try out! I felt like I wasn’t shown how to do my job properly everything was extremely out of order, and rushed! as a new employee I witnessed older employees continuously complaining about travel arrangements, bad communication & very low under paid for the work that was being done! Lots of heavy duty lifting very tedious, working in small spaces with old and unstable conditions! Walmart pays better than this and the work is tedious that is not okay!

The only bad thing about the job is the HOTELS and you never know who you are roommates with. The pay could be a better due to you are building up a whole store and not only that you are exposed to others and work close to them so you risking your health daily. 

The Best thing about the job is you get to travel and meet new people. The work isn't that hard but its not a job thats a piece of cake. I enjoyed the job and being able to see a place I never been. Also entering you time can be tricky but over all if you like traveling and meeting.new people this is a great job but know you will be working. 

I worked as a PM for this company, traveling primarily throughout the Midwest and West Coast. It was a fantastic experience with excellent benefits and competitive pay. The travel opportunities allowed me to explore different regions and work with diverse teams. While the role required being on the road without a traditional home base, the company's strong culture and support made it worthwhile. I'd highly recommend this company to anyone looking for a dynamic career with great compensation and benefits. If you enjoy variety and new experiences, you'll love it here.

This is a great job if you respect the way things are handled and set out to be a part of a team. I made great friends and loved this job. Management and HR are great. I made mistakes and lost my opportunity and wish I could go back. I miss the work and people. This is a great company that gives you the opportunity to travel, see new things and meet different people. Great job great people. Don't make my mistakes.... This company is number one in my book.
