I wouldn't say Mondays are my favorite days but they are the most challenging. Because Mondays are pretty busy, I normally report over 200K in credits and deposits. What I enjoy most about Mondays are the numbers that I look forward to reporting to my CEO and CFO at the end of the day. The rest of the work week is not so heavy so I usually organize and follow up on other work related projects so I can stay ahead and be ready for month end prep. 
I learned quite a bit from my CFO and the AR Lead from mistakes, new tasks/objectives, and short cuts along the way. I love the constructive criticism that I receive from time to time because it helps me to work more effectively and pay closer attention to detail. What I love most about this company is the environment; I'm able to be myself, work productively with others and I can be trusted by management to work alone. I'm able to go to the CFO and ask any questions or give suggestions and my ideas are actually heard and taken into consideration.

I go into the office, organize my day and then it's out on the road, driving and answering phone calls all day. I will go and meet with Superintendents, Construction Managers, Project Managers, Area Managers, Regional Managers as well as Vice Presidents of our clients. As I already mentioned above, our local management and co workers are pretty loose at the office and treat it like a small company environment where some of the structure has a tendency to break down. The hardest part of the job and the most enjoyable are one and the same. It would have to be the freedom of self management on the road while at the same time balancing the difficulties of coordinating the logistics of the job while operating from a moving vehicle with stressful time demands and the volume of calls and files we have to deal with.

since the day i first started i knew the managers did not care about me or my safety. anytime someone voices a concern to the managers they just tell us that’s how the job is and pull the old “if u don’t like it u can find somewhere else.” the warehouse environment feels like a more relaxed area but there are cameras are constantly watching you and you will get called into the office for any little thing. favoritism is definitely a thing here as older employees never seem to get in trouble when they constantly break safety rules and ignore people when they need help with lifting heavy mirrors. 

FGM is good place to work.   Just like every job out there, it has it's ups and down but overall a solid company to work for.   I would like to see more incentives for employees, especially the ones that have been 10+years..... Recognition, bonuses, Christmas party, Spring BBQ, employee of the month, and family events should be implemented to make for a team like feel and better job atomosphere.   Only a certain group of people get bonuses there and it's like "they" forget about us little people that are actually getting the work done.  Great place to work but they need to take care of their more loyal employees is all i am suggesting.   

No company is perfect, however this is one of the best companies you could work for. Leadership and management truly care and want to see you be successful. Is it work? Sure. Do you have to put effort in? Absolutely. But if you truly put your best foot forward, this is the kind of company that will go out of their way to show their appreciation. They promote from within as often as possible and encourage open dialogue with management. They pride themselves in hiring and retaining the cream of the crop, therefore if you are the type of person that's just looking for a paycheck with minimal effort you will most likely get flushed out quickly. 

When I first started 3 years ago it was a dream job. Now its a bit different. A lot of micro management , long hours , g.p.s. trackers in personal trucks and overall just a different job then what I was sold 3 years ago.  When I was hired I was told you finish your work you can go home. Now they say work till 5-5:30 pm which is a 10+ hour work day and your not being paid overtime at all. But if you are looking for a job and are in need of one they are always hiring and have advancement opportunity.

This company does not offer any room for growth. Mandatory overtime. Overworked and low pay. Poor management. Little to No breaks. Very unorganized. Favoritism is a big issue within this company you can work here for 10+ years and a cousin of a manager will start will no experience in a manager position making almost twice as much. If information is given to the HR you can guarantee a raise and once they want you out they will do anything and write you up for everything to so they can fire you. 

What is the best part of working at the company?
The fact they are willing to work with you, should life happen.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Hard, heavy, manual labor in all kinds of heat and cold.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Fun, laid back, but fairly strict. Every one treats everyone like family and watches put for the others.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Flipping mirrors, maintaining the polishers machines.

at first they speak wonders about the company, the work environment is very good but the management really should change it, they always try to blame their employees for everything, the pay for being an installer is not worth it, they want to exploit you for a little money, the helpers earn more than the installers, this place would be better if they increase the pay and change everyone in the office

FGM was a family-oriented business. Most managers/staff were great. Any "promotions" are considered lateral moves and no raises are offered.  High stress environment does not come from work but from the fear of being scolded after making a mistake corrective criticism definitely needs to be worked on within the company.
