GARY POOLS

The management at Gary Pools is terrible. The owner ran the business and he was very mean to his employees, even the women. I saw many cry or just walk out. Training was almost non-existent. There was no assistance when you needed it. Also, they never had meetings so all departments worked almost totally independent of each other when working together would have helped sales tremendously. I tried to institute regular meetings but nobody wanted to bother even though I showed them how it would improve our bottom line. Nobody felt like they had job security there. At first I thought that it would be a great place to work because I saw so many faults and I had many ideas on how to rectify them. I felt like that company needed me. I like to make a difference. Again, most of what I wanted to do fell on deaf ears.

Little to no direction on job expectations. Owner has terrible communication and is the walking definition of capricious.  Constantly feeling like your walking on eggshells. Benefit’s stop at insurance. PTO is accrued with only 5 holidays given. No 401k match or developmental opportunities. Absolutely No training from upper management. No clear chain of command. Questions highly discouraged, as owner gets annoyed. Stay away if possible! 


Typical day, 7:30AM - 6PM. Answer phone calls to customers and help them out. 
You learn to manage service fusion.
Management is terrible. They say they are there to help you, they aren’t. Several emails were sent asking for help, asked management for help in person, nobody helps. You are left in the dust with no training and expected to figure it out. Lastly, they will change your bonus structure without speaking to you and stand by it. Company is a slime. 

What is the best part of working at the company?
Some nice people. That’s really it 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The owner/boss is very unpleasant. He fires people left and right 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
It’s ok. Most people are nice. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Boring busy work and walking on eggshells

I learned a number of different things in the field as a repair technician that I can carry with me into my future and maybe future jobs. I met a lot of good people while working there and built good relationships.

When we had work if any it was very little hours and we were NEVER allowed to get over time at all. The management was okay, but they failed to contact the employees if there was no work. So if you showed up it was always a guessing game whether or not you were going to work or not...

The typical day at work began at 8 am and we drove to the job site began digging the hole of the pool and leveling the ground. Once the ground was level and prepped the pool could begin being constructed.

Super visors Show up to 2 hours late. Threaten workers. Did not follow company procedures. Did not pay bills allowing workers to have supplies. Lied to workers.

Horrible pay, lower employees get NO respect and aren't appreciated at ALL! Pretty much just a joke all around. Even the customers hate the place but everywhere else sucks too

Keep an eye on your checks, your pay will drastically fluctuate. There is no room for growth due to work place politics. Management is basically nonexistent. Everything gets thrown onto the laboring departments.
