Eastern Wholesale Fence

As other reviews have stated, it was uncertain every day with Eastern not knowing when was your last day, who kisses rear’s management is good, if they didn’t like you, your future, position & pay was uncertain. 
I’ve learned a lot from my local manager, even though upper management and corporate team NEVER supported us, somehow we made it work with little or no support. 
Management at Eastern Fence is complete circus, they plave uncompetent human beings in higher management  team, they DO NOT CARE about anyone, they care only for their pockets, use the bodies only when they need them and then they get rid of people if they were nothing. Corporate management,  Executive team & Human Resources from Corporate are hypocrite, they are trained with the mindset that they are always right and look down at the other locations. Hardest part was that I had to deal with ignorant management, working with no support other than my manager’s support. The most enjoyable part was that Salisbury employee’s treated each other like a family. If you are applying here, think about 5 times before you do, they do not care about anybody.

What is the best part of working at the company?
While working on the mid shift the best part of working there was my supervisor and my fellow coworkers. They really took the time to help me learn the job and the locations of the different products on a 28 acre lot

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The most stressful part would be lack of forklift maintenance and the lack of new hires sticking around . Also working outdoors at night.mid shift hrs are 5:30pm to 2am except during the busy season when you can easily work till 4/5am every night so forget about a social life

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
The work environment is very friendly but the lack of communication between shifts makes things difficult at times. Culture is simply get the job done

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Get your order sheet and then go load your truck and strap it down then hand in your paperwork.  Repeat process until all the trucks are loaded then clean up the yard and go home

What is the best part of working at the company?
Benefits are decent. ( medical, dental, and vision). Relaxed atmosphere, may e too relaxed.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Undeciveness of leadership. Poor leadership in some areas. Certain departments have much or most responsibility and others have none.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Too relaxed, if your part of the buddy system. Too many family and friends working together with little to know responsibility. If your an outsider, you will eventually have a target on your back.
Upper management hides scrap and downtime numbers and who knows what else to make themselves look better than the actually are ( bonuses perhaps).
Eventually someone at corporate WILL catch this if there doing there job.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
There are no typical days other than total chaos. No direction or planning from upper management.

Management is incompetent to a level that I’ve never seen before. It’s impossible to request time off or get a pay raise. They will never politely ask you to do more work, they demand it. And they won’t even tell you to help out, they’ll get your coworkers to tell you that they are expecting you to help them.  If you’re competent in your job, you’ll be rewarded with MORE work. If you ask for a raise for doing 2X more work than what you agreed to, managers response is “you won’t get a pay raise, because you didn’t negotiate for a one when you were hired on.” 

As long as you kiss your manager’s rear end and suck up to them, you’re safe from layoffs. Doesn’t matter if you know how to do your job as long as your nose is brown. 

Company has problems with leadership, managers are inexperienced due to having little time with the company and lack of knowledge. Experienced workers have left the company, managers allow workers to take days off without excuses and do not hold them accountable for excessive absenteeism. Upper management rarely deal with daily operations as they are keeping to their Ivory Towers and are more focused on acquiring new companies and not dealing with fixing what is currently wrong now. HR is non-existing, lack of experience in the roll, unable to answer simple questions and do not like to deal with any  insurance issues or other needs of the employee.
This is not a company you can grow with so if that is what you are looking for this is not the place for you.

Overall, this is a great place to work and I genuinely enjoy my job. The equipment is decent, the work is stead in season, and most of the people here are good to work with.

That said, dispatch can be very inconsistent. Andy in dispatch clearly plays favorites—if you’re one of them, you’ll get the better routes and more hours regardless of seniority. If you’re not, you feel it.

Management also tends to ignore feedback from drivers and employees. A lot of good ideas are brought up, but if they don’t come directly from the boss, they’re brushed off. Meanwhile, questionable changes keep getting made, and we continue to lose customers.

This could be an excellent company if leadership listened more to the people actually doing the work and treated drivers more fairly.

Easier to count the times i received break rather than trying to count the times i didn't. go go go attitude and if you're not part of the "click" your treated like trash. they'll offer you a good salary just to get you in the door and even after 9 months do not give it to you. general manager doesn't know anything about what's going on, arrogant extrusion managers, offer overtime to benefit the company but not you. strongly suggest you do not work there. you'll have to do your job plus many other jobs. not to mention what you breath in. your sanity will slowly fade.  

What is the best part of working at the company?
Lunch hour, and no working on  the weekends, unless you are on   production floor

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Management  are poor communicatrs and doo not plan well. No loyalty

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Toxic, uncaring, unsafe. Mostly use Temps that are not citizens 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
7:00 to 5:00, plans change daily so organizing a plan is impossible

Great place to work.  It has to family businees feel even though it is run as a major corporation.  There is always work that needs to be done and it can be very stressful at times.  Sometimes the customers can be rude, but all of the fellow employees are pretty fun and fair to work with.  The employees make the place enjoyable and  no one really hates getting up to go to work in the morning

A company that cannot pay bills on time but as an employee, you’re deposit will always be on time. Long hours with little to no reward. Sales is not the issue, its upper management. They need to make a change on the financial side and find someone with a better attitude because no one wants to be yelled at and embarrassed on a project that doesn’t involve them. A lot of changes need to happen. Eastern name is being dragged through the mud.
