The direct managers and HR are close- nit and keep alot away from upper management therefore, allowing the black ball method.

The good ole boy mentality. Southern hard work, in the elements and long hours.

I did my job, did it well;got 4 raises in a year and told I was fired because of poor work performance. When in reality mt direct supervisor was afraid i was gonna yake his. Is i was black balled and fired.

CPS has been around for a long time, it is a good company that provides important products and services. There are branches throughout the SE USA, each branch operates with a certain amount of autonomy from the HQ in Birmingham, AL. Very important to know who you will be working with at your branch, some branches have great leadership and are run smoothly, others have poor leadership and do not run effectively or efficiently; which was my experience at the Piney Flats branch. We had a great team but anyone on that team will tell you the weak link in that branch is the leadership, the longer you work there the more apparent it becomes, which explains the high turnover. Pay and benefits are average.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Leaving the yard to go out on deliveries and meeting customers. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Fellow employees who consider their role in the company to be more than it is, the one who  tries to make you  feel less important than themself.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Liars, haters...not everyone, but enough of them to cause job satisfaction to plummet. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Coming in to this soul sucking hole is demoralizing,  leaving for deliveries is the best part...I wanted to stay gone all day.

Consolidated was a great place to work.  Work hard, play hard.  Upper management cared about the employees and, in turn, employees worked hard & enjoyed doing so.  Communication between upper management and employees came to a complete halt.  Focus is solely on how much they can get out of employees that do what they signed up for.  Lax employees are rewarded & promoted, while hard workers are disregarded in every way.  Shameful a great company took a nosedive where principle & employee morale are concerned.   

Work environment is generally comfortable..They are slack on some employees that come in at random times & appear to do nothing most days. Employees with proven bad work ethics are pampered, rewarded & promoted at CPS. Lots of bias going on - people with titles they shouldn't have & with company perks allowed only to them & who they choose. Don't seem to care for older employees. If youre close to 65 - they are pushing you out the door

Good company initially.  But branch manager never there; he only came in once a week to threaten everybody. He used his power to threaten to fire anybody that went against his ego and unethical behaviors.  The upper management is very disconnected from the day to day operations of each branch. Unable to enjoy time off with constant sales calls from 6am-6pm most every workday.  Low morale and workplace harassment at its finest.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Great people to work for and a well established company that cares for there employees and the safety of the employees I recommend to anyone in the coating industry 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
They stay real busy and the quality has to be right 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
It's great they care they work as a family so to speak 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Busy very productive and rewarding

A typical day was spent loading/unloading inventory. Taking orders from customers, putting up stock, handling cash sales, doing large and small quotes. We were a small branch with a Manager that had failed in the past same general area. Ownership would do well to rid the company of this unprofessional manager. Bad for morale.

I was a cdl driver at the Greenville nc branch, not very much goes on management tells you to hide to get your hours, there’s a buddy system if you’re in that you’re untouchable if you speak up for yourself they don’t like it. Overall not a bad place for a new driver or a driver looking to retire in a few years, you’ll work in the yard more than you’re on the road, pay isn’t the best.

This was one of the best companies I had worked for, unfortunate that it was tied to the housing market and was forced to downsize in 2010. My position at the company allowed me to be open and free to manage my territory while supporting me with good leads and company backup in order to be successful at achieving my monthly sales goals and budgets
