Erie Materials

Having been with Erie for 17 years and then being let go because at 53, I was having a hard time lifting product by hand in the humidity, I find it difficult to give a unbiased review.  The turnaround is high because the work is hard and the overtime is frowned upon.  During the winter months it is mandatory to take an additional day off w/o pay so you are only working 36 hours during the winter months.  Working out in the elements is difficult, but manageable.  They do provide shirts, sweatshirts, and a coat.  Being short-staffed is typical.  I miss the friendships I had there, but for them not to even try and work with me after being there for so long, I felt was a slap in the face to me and for all the hard work I put in there especially from a company that is "family-oriented".

Coming from outside the building materials industry the learning curve is intense. The managers and everyone around you is very willing to help at first and then it falls off, fast, and then it's fend for yourself. They could do a better job with the initial training and product familiarization aspect. The work environment itself is fun and everyone gets along with each other. The pay, PTO, and benefits are awesome and HR does an amazing job. You'll get plenty of hours and they do not lay off in the winter. The branch management could do a better job with refraining from the "do as I say, not as I do," mentality but they are fun to be around. All in all it is a building materials warehouse, the drivers act like drivers and the warehouse employees are warehouse employees. 

GREAT Company to work for. Excellent Benefits Good pay and an Excellent crew. Everyone seems to get along and work well together. I think the management is fair but somewhat lenient in some areas causing tension between employees. The hardest part of this job is the mental part, bad directions to a job site, contact wont answer there phone, road construction. All these things causing delay in what was already going to be a long day. Just have to train yourself to  deal with the everyday stresses. The most enjoyable part of the job would probably be driving delivering & seeing the familiar friendly customers you've made friends with. 

We have excellent ownership and a dedicated staff of people leading this company.  People come to Erie Materials and stay for their career.  Over 80 people started in warehouse and delivery jobs and have advanced into sales, management and leadership positions.  We enjoy excellent benefits and profit sharing.  We work hard and have fun in a very strong, very respectful culture.  Great service to our customers, care for our people, doing things with integrity and always looking for excellence.

Every day was different, some days more productive than others depending on the way the schedule for each day was set up and that was done by me. Never a dull moment when in the field always plenty to do just the way I liked it. Workplace culture was all about being part of a winning team. Team work in this kind of sales is of utmost importance and developing other employees into that mindset was always one of my favorite parts of the job

Erie materials has the best training I have ever received at a company. The benefits are on par or better than most. They care about everyone! you will find that most of the employees have been employed by Erie, most of their adult lives. This is for good reason! I am blessed to have found them as an employer. I work at the elmira location as a CDL-A Hazmat driver. Wouldn't trade it for anything! 

Great place to work with great benefits, they give you plenty of time off once you have been there for a while . Erie also does what they call phantom days , where you work 32 hours that week they pay you for 36 and you stay home one day a week .    
If you choose to take a layoff they cover your health insurance until you return .

Awesome company, great reputation and great place to work.  Pay is great, benefits are very good and you know that the management really cares about you.  Pay increases every year, profit sharing every year and a bonus for every employee.  Best place I have worked.  Very clean, and work M-F
