Chaney Enterprises

A typical day at Chaney Enterprises started with dread, as I constantly felt like something was wrong with me when there wasn’t. I was targeted because of my lack of higher education, because I didn’t care to join workplace gossip, because I didn’t speak “proper,” and most importantly, because of my skin color.I learned what the company stood for, what they sold, how much items sold for, and what profits they made. That knowledge, however, came at the cost of dealing with constant disrespect. Management bullied me.They made subliminal comments about my weight and my intelligence, criticized how long it took to learn their many systems, and treated me like the team’s doormat. I was made to feel like I didn’t belong, and they made sure I knew that.The workplace culture felt like being Black in the 1960s — not accepted, only tolerated. That is the reality of working here, and it cannot be overstated.The hardest part was keeping up with the five-plus systems, answering phones, and returning from personal breaks only to find extra work piled on me as silent punishment. To be honest, I never felt equal or welcomed, even at the one function I attended. I did not enjoy anything about this company. The only part I liked was the petting zoo at the cookout — the animals were the only ones who made me feel at peace in that toxic environment.

Love working here. Hard to make ends meet at the end of every week. Spring - fall is great hours (45-60 hours a week depending on location of plant) winter time is horrible. Expect less than 40 hours. You get a 30 hour minimum year round if weather effects work. If you have to come in just to haul one load for the week while everyone else stays home, then the ones who stayed home get the same pay as you even though you came in and they did not. If you’re older, your kids are moved out, own your home, or live in your parents basement and just want to get some extra money then this is a great fit. Pay could be WAY better. People that work for the same company get paid way more than you for the same experience and work load. Some lazy people with horrible attitudes and some great people i’ll call friends/family forever (like any job). Plant managers are great people! Upper management take on too much to pay attention to YOU! You want a raise to support your family? Good luck. Start anytime and get off whenever work is done. You could start at 2am or you could start at 7am. Every day is a different time.

The company is well-run and more profitable than most of its competitors, but that profitability often comes at the expense of its employees.  The hours are very long (operations on most days begin at midnight) and the company keeps its headcount as low as possible. You will work with some of the hardest working people on the planet. The work-life balance is lousy for employees in critical/on-call positions like management, dispatch, IT, and HR.

On the IT side, the company is pretty good about purchasing new equipment and approving major systems upgrades.  You will get a lot of exposure to networking, mobile device management, and VOIP systems. This is a good stop for somebody early in their IT career who doesn't have a family or a busy personal life.  The lack of pay raises and the narrow scope of technical work will impede your career if you stay more than a few years.

What is the best part of working at the company?
The pay is fair 
The work environment is based on the plant you work out of some are better than others. 
I was at a solid plant with life time Chaney guys. 
The work load was constant. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
All the extra micro managing 
I was not a fan of the system you have to do ABC 
In order to clock in. At some point you have to choose to buy in or you will be gone so accept the system the Samsara system they have it on over drive. Once you get off the safety management radar your good every new employee starts out on safety watch list which is stressful. 
Drive carefully slow down check you’re concrete 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
We are truckers so my plant was good.  We tried to create camaraderie amongst ourselves. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Steady work good hours. 
Start time vary and you don’t know when you’re getting off. Normally its 10-13 hours after you start.

The company is a good company but expects to much out of a person. At Bridgetown time starts at 2:30 am and don't get off till 5 pm. They make us go over our legal drive time according to DOT. Work 6 days a week with a average of 65-70 hrs or week. Benefits are good but just over worked and under paid. They don't keep drivers very long as they are VERY quick to just fire someone. As a driver in this company no one feels safe. Driving is closely monitored w cameras which face outside as well as inside. If they would take it easier on drivers and let them do their job it wouldn't be so stressful. Equipment is ok. They do have some older equipment that drivers start out in but are well maintained. It would be a lot better if they would realize it's not the management that keeps the company going but the drivers are the ones who keep the company alive. Without drivers there would be no Chaney enterprises.

Typical work day, LONG !!!   No Complaints when they were for the People....
Alot I have learned: A concreate skill that will remain for as long as I'm able to oerform,  Being a Team Player, That I'm Reliable/OnTime, People Person, Great Communicator/Patience...
Management: Like family & friends,  You have the Good Ones and the the Bad Ones, just have to learn to compromise and do your job !!!   Workplace was Great for the most of it. Everyday is not going to be Sunshine and Roses. 
Hardest :  When Management started to be a revolving door &  Equipment was beig neglected from fixing .
Enjoyable :  Work environment was like Family and everyone LOVED coming to work and look forward and it wasn't about money but the money was Good at one time b4 things were done deliberately to keep you from Leveling 

Working at Chaney Enterprises has been an incredibly rewarding experience. The culture here is something truly special. It is welcoming, supportive, and grounded in mutual respect. I’m continuously impressed by the exceptional individuals on our team. Not only are they talented and driven, but they’re also collaborative, kind, and committed to our shared success.

There are real opportunities for growth here, both personally and professionally. Leadership genuinely invests in employee development, listens to feedback, and makes decisions with people in mind. The support and benefits provided reflect how much the company values its team, and the consistent recognition and appreciation make a lasting impact.

I’m proud to be part of Chaney Enterprises and excited to keep growing with this exceptional team.

Worked well with management and co-workers to complete desired work assignments in a timely manner.

management

Typical day at work is transporting materials. I learned nothing from this job I had to teach most of it to myself. Culture is terrible. Management is a roll of the dice. Some are hold overs who know what they're doing but don't oversee what they know now. Others are number crunchers who don't understand the job and are quite frankly incompetent. Hardest part of the job is the lack of appreciation the constant hounding of your work and always waiting for someone to look at your camera to find a reason to punish you. Most enjoyable part of the job was some of my fellow coworkers. Good kind people just trying to get by.
