Everdry Waterproofing

This is your typical job, sounded too good to be true at the start and eventually it indeed was. The facade of inclusiveness, financial gain, camaraderie, advancement options, great work life balance and rewards eventually wears off.

Management is every man for themselves. Very quick to throw others under the bus to ensure they don’t get any bad rep, but the first to jump and claim all the praise from others hard work. No accountability for those who should be setting the standard around the office. There is no respect in regards to training for employees. Management will openly scold individuals  in front of other employees to assert dominance. Anyone who doesn’t do as told but instead questions things and tries to improve the environment is let go because they’re deemed as problematic. People are given a week maximum to become phenomenal at the job they’re hired for, with bare minimum training. At one point it seemed like some employees were solely retained due to not being able to fill the position if they were let go. 

The employees who give their all are held to standards so high, to ensure that the work still gets done while management is sitting around idly. Some management spends more time sneak dissing their employees while at the same time berating them for gossiping and starting drama. Management is allowed every excuse in the book as to why they need to leave work early, not complete a task, not cover the departments that need it, not pick up slack where it’s lacking, miss days of work with no notice, be on their phone while working, behave immaturely and/or argue with other employees. Just a few examples of the extremes management can get away with, vs being late due to life issues, making a simple mistake, being pregnant, having different views and not just sitting and taking the disrespect. 

In the words of management, if you can’t change your people, change your people. Keep an eye out for trends. It’s pretty clear to most employees current and ex where the common denominator lies. 

There are some amazing workers in this specific location who are not appreciated to the level they should be. I would say to those employees, to keep up the good work keep at it and hopefully you’ll be seen soon.  


Next to no training provided. You are expected to go door to door to get people to sign up for an inspection you know nothing about from a company you know nothing about. You basically have to ask others to get some sort of idea of what the company offers. An employee admit they dont bother training anyone as the turnover rate is so high. 

 They take you to the same towns to knock on the same doors on a monthly basis and try to get people to sign up. I have heard sooo much from people at their doors how much they hate this company knocking on their doors every few weeks. I have had friends of friends who didnt even know I worked for them complain about how much they harass people with their phone calls. If you actually manage to get leads you can get some decent bonuses for them but even their best people arent producing the way they used to yet they dont see a problem with it. 

If the best canvassers cant turn numbers like they used to, what do they expect of someone who has been there a month? They brought it to my attention about I struggling to get leads however they did very little to help me out and get it figured out and suddenly out of nowhere they were letting me go. Zero warning. No, hey if you dont get your leads up you risk termination. Nothing. Just came out of nowhere. I did everything I could in my power to get people to sign up but with everything working against me it was pretty impossible.  They dont care though, they will just rake in the next poor sap to throw out there to attempt to get leads. When it clearly doesnt work, on to the next one. Why companies dont bother to actually work with and train and build the employees they have and would rather rotate people out in hopes one is magically good is beyond me. 

Dont work here and better yet, make sure you have a no solicitors sign on your door before they start knocking every few weeks. 

I have worked for EverDry Waterproofing in Toledo, Ohio for 13 years. I can honestly say that as a dedicated and career driven employee that I have been given every opportunity for me to be successful at work and in my personal life. The type of work performed is challenging at times and I've found that the experiences and challenges have made me into someone who can overcome any obstacle no matter the size. The environment here at EverDry is very supportive the people I have had the pleasure of working with have always given me the guidance and support I need to accomplish any goal I may strive to achieve. I have learned how to be a great and dependable employee and human being as well as a great leader and motivator to my peers. This company has given me the patience and support I need to be a good provider to my family as well. I would  encourage anyone who is looking for a well structured company all around that makes you genuinely feel like part of something more than just a job this is a great fit. EverDry is my home and a place that I can grow and develop my skills and achievements. I would say that the hardest part of my job is learning that it is possible to make a choice to have a positive attitude under any circumstance. A typical day for me is getting in the shop and listening to the morning stories about how all of my employees are learning and advancing in their own lives and then I get to do job inspections of the job sites these guys are on and get to train and watch them grow first hand this too is my favorite part of my job. I'm proud to be an employee at EverDry Waterproofing and I plan to be here for many years to come. 

I have been employed at EverDry since 10/2000. I started as a tech at the age of 39. I found the work to be just OK in the beginning. But as ever day went by, the work for me seemed to get easier. The management treated me very fairly, which got my interest even more.
In 8 months of working, they moved me up to the next level of the crew chief position.Taking the time to learn all I could learn, after 13 months on the job, I was promoted to the Crew Leader position.  While holding that position for the next 9 years, I took the time to mentor those under me, constantly training them in one on one sessions, for them to better themselves.
In 2011, I was again promoted to being the Field Supervisor, where I would go and inspect work in progress. Again, I was always trying to find a co worker who needed training. 
In 2016, I was again promoted to being an assistant Production Manager. Although I enjoyed all my other roles here in the past, I especially enjoy the position I hold now. Training and mentoring is my number 1 goal....everyday. Teaching and mentoring the "younger" work force is challenging, but rewarding. I love playing a part in helping my co workers find the things here that I have found over the past 19 years. EverDry has given me an opportunity to afford for myself, and my family to live an above average life. 
And I take a great amount of pride to say that I have been at EverDry for over 19 years, and have NEVER missed a day of work, have NEVER called off for any reason, and was only late ONE time by 3 minutes.....17 years ago. I added this to say, that, I have thoroughly, and honestly, enjoyed coming through these EverDry doors every  day since October 5, 2000.

I applied and interviewed for an inspector/sales position, but was told after a lengthy interview I would have to start at the bottom in canvassing first. I thought to myself "OK, not a deal breaker, I'll at least try it out." This was a huge mistake. Cavsassing includes going door to door for up to 7 hours a day, using manipulative tactics to get people to agree to a free inspection. A majority of these people clearly have zero desire to have a free inspection done. You're supposed to use what're called help statements to rebuttal when a homeowner tells us no. This is basically a list of mind games to manipulate the owner into signing up for a free inspection. You're supposed to get three no's from the homeowner and leave, no matter how obvious it is that they do not want a free inspection. Now, this is fine if you have zero morals, but if I can clearly tell this person does not want me on their property, I'm leaving. This WILL get you in trouble.

Now let's talk about the high turnover rate. If you do not pull at least two leads a day, no matter how horrible the neighborhood you were dropped into is, you will get canned. If you work in the office and seem to breathe incorrectly, you will get canned. The turnover rate is high in all departments. Job security is nonexistent here. Don't work for this company unless you have no morals at all and don't mind a different paycheck every week.

I worked there for 7 months, in that time I was promoted within a month into a position I was under prepared for. That should speak volumes about the quality. They don't actually care about if the system is good, as long as it gets done in a timely manner so they can move onto the next one and collect the checks. They have a lifetime warranty on pretty much everything except for the pumps, battery for the backup pump, and the EZ-Breathe. They rely on this lifetime warranty to make sure they can come back when it breaks. They don't want to pay you, they do every week, but they will make you work extra hours with almost no overtime ($4/hour). If you don't have the proper tools to get something done its a roll of the dice if you are going to get the proper tools to get something done. The sales people straight up lie to the Customers just to get them to sign the contract, and then after the signing of the contract if they want to back out of the contract they have to pay 1/3 of the total cost of the whole job. Each Job was in the ball park $8,000 - $20,000 with the average job being $12,000. If you want to work for this company they will hire you on the spot, but they will screw you over till they either get enough people to fire you or you quit. I do not recommend to work here at all. The only upside is that the people that work there are cool and understand how the game of working there works and will always try to help you out.

Being an Everdry Inspector is not only fun but rewarding as well. The interesting thing about being an Inspector is you don't sell. The process explains what's going on in the customers basement, how the problem is getting worse and how the Everdry process with solve all of the problems....FOR LIFE!!

   Of course with every job there is accountability for your sales and while some companies will bombard you with metrics the Management team is dedicated to supporting your growth and helping you to close more business. The biggest challenge is trusting a proven system. The more you try and rearrange the process to fit you, the less effective you become. Just trust a proven 40 year old process and you'll be fine.

   The is no cap on your earning potential. As you make more money the company makes more money so your goal is in line with the company goal as well. The fact is not too many make it because the see the dollar signs before they really understand the process. The money will come as you get better. They supply the tools and the support you supply the effort and enthusiasm to learn.

I love being an Inspector. I help people every day deal with their basement problems. In many cases these problems are making their families sick without them even knowing it. If you're just in this for the money, you may struggle with the concepts. However if you like to be rewarded for your efforts (beyond the monetary rewards) then Everdry is for you.

I worked for this company for over a year and have never felt like I mattered less to a company.  They are willing to immediately replace you with someone brand new opposed to improving conditions for existing employees. There are essentially no benefits and the pay scale goes by the day. Because of this, no matter how long or short your day is, you will make the same no matter what. The only over time available is to work  through the weekend. They take absolutely no precautions to look out for the safety of their employees. Things like mixing concrete inside, not providing any protective equipment for production crews, allowing anyone to operate power tools and/or equipment without training etc, are all common place with this company. Everdry as a whole overcharges for a system that does not work and does not even allow the hard working individuals who put these systems in- to even see a fraction of the cost of a single job. This is mostly due to the owner not wanting to give up his cushy salary to help out the men on the ground who work tirelessly to keep the company moving forward. I would not recommend working here to the strongest willed of people. 

I enjoyed working with my managers, but the branch supervisor didn't remember me or other canvasser's names. Besides feeling the need to instill an intimidating vibe whenever he was in the room, he had mininum contact with me or my other coworkers, and the managers were afraid of him. The constant thing I experienced at this company was to get people to sign up for free basement inspections (granted, we had to probe for those who actually needed our services) and if you didn't meet quotas, it was implied multiple times you would be called into the supervisors office to be fired. Of course, this did not apply to you if you were friends with the supervisors daughter. Me and several other coworkers were scared of not fulfilling the daily quota while the supervisors favorites played on their phones and laughed with each other. Overall, if you need to pay the bills, take this job as a placeholder until something better comes along. Do not fall into the trap of feeling that you can pursue a career in this company - they could replace you in a minute and they will. This review is not to condemn the many good people making a living at this company, but rather the toxic upper management it receives.

I am currently a Foreman for Everdry. First thing I would say is this type of work isn't for everyone and there is not really a way to change that. very high turnover rate. It is extremely hard labor because we do all of our work by hand and you better prep for the weather because the job will get done come rain, snow, heat, cold or perfect weather. Biggest thing is you need to be mentally strong and know how to push your limits yes it's really physically demanding on your body but most of it is mental. It all depends on you if you will go non-stop bust your butt and take pride in your job you have plenty of advancements possible. Overall I think it's a great company the pay sucks at first but if you stick it out it does become ALOT better. Management is pretty good and will always try and help you if possible even if they seem tough and mean they are just trying to help you. If your hardworking, mentally tough and take pride in the work you do, always try and do it right the first time you can go far with this company!
