GENEVA ROCK

As a mechanic your job is to hang parts. If the job is more than that it gets sent out to the dealer.
The positions that make money for the company are held in higher regard than the positions that spend money.
Non-bargaining employees receive more appreciation than those who are in the union. As an employee in maintenance you are union whether you join or not.
On a better note the job is not that complicated for a seasoned mechanic and the pay is reasonable along with decent benefits.
The union has control over wages and seems to take more than the annual increases to the wages. The union is weak in numbers and unable to negotiate or enforce policies that benefit the members.
As far as co-workers go it's a mixed pot of personalities choose to get along or stay away.
The hardest part of the job is not knowing what your schedule is going to be. The main problem is that the business is construction and the other is management. Managers seem to have a real problem figuring out how to make a schedule that works both for the company and the employee.
A lot of micro managing all the way from the top. 
The best part of the job is that the paychecks are on time and clear the bank.

This is a great place to work and is not for everyone.  This is a challenging environment and if you are willing to work hard and grow in your responsibilities you will advance in this company.  This company looks for highly motivated people that are willing to go the extra mile to take care of the needs of our customers.  We have a long history of individuals that spend their entire working career with this company.  Many of these folks feel so strongly about the company that it has become generational for them with Father/Mother having their children work here and pass it on to two and three generations of family that have worked for Geneva Rock.  The work is hard and the hours can be difficult but this is construction and construction is both seasonal and cyclical.  I am proud to work for a company that has a tremendous reputation and long history of service to the communities we serve. This is a great place to work.

The new management is running this company into the ground. I have been there 16 years and used to love going to work. Now I am looking for new work because of the downward spiral that has happened in the last few years. 
The old management is retiring(some of them forced into it by the company) and the new college educated managers that know nothing about what we do and have never worked in road construction OR driven a commercial semi truck are destroying the company from within.
The exodus has already started with drivers finding new jobs and all of the remaining drivers talking about looking for new jobs, including myself. 
I hear people saying all the time that "your lucky to even have a job", well to them I say, "We are truck drivers, we can find a job anywhere in this country. Can you?"
Sure this is a good job but like I tell my co-workers, its not the only good job out there!

foremans dont care about you at all they repeatedly have hired people on top of me while simultaneously told me I'd be moving up i assume to make me complacent till the next time they take advantage 
of you everybody is a snake and the union does nothing to help all they do is make sure you can't be fired without standing up for any of the rights afforded you in the contract cheap insurance and decent pay if you can get in a loader or plant. All the higher ups are related and they just hire their family for the good jobs while forgeting about the people who work hard. The superintendents are a joke one is brazenly disrespectful of peoples feelings and treats them as slaves and the other is so out of touch with the mine industry that he causes us more downtime then not.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Getting paid weekly, and the pay is alright. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The HR department, and Vice President of the company. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
It sucks! Nobody is happy, and Upper Management is horrible. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
You never do anything right, or the more you do the more they expect.  They let lazy people run the place, and you have no support from the HR department.  They make you believe they are everything, and treat the hard working people horrible.

What is the best part of working at the company?
I enjoyed the health insurance on the engineer union. Because they just have copays. No hSA and other nonsense, Just pay your copay and you are finish 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The job is dangerous! Be on the alert working construction!

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Some areas are the most toxic people I ever worked for!

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Just go to work. They just expect a honest day pay for a honest day work!

Would never have started working here if I knew how horrible of a place it really is. Everyone is related and they are the only ones that matter (TOO MUCH NEPOTISM). There is way too much back stabbing and talking about other employees and nothing is done to stop it. Certain vendors get used because they have paid off certain managers somehow and that is illegal business, these vendors charge way more than other vendors and no one seems to care. Not a year round job so be prepared to get let go and be unemployed.

If you only want to work 40 hours a week, the sand and gravel division is for you. If you actually want overtime and have a decent paycheck, I’d look else where. The job posting I applied for was M-F 10 hour shifts. Nope. It was 4 10s and a rotating schedule. In 7 months I think I had maybe 3 checks with overtime. 
The schedule is terrible. One week 4 day shifts, one week 2 day shifts and 2 night shifts, one week all night shifts, then 5 days off and then back on. Thought it would be somewhere I could have a career, but not with 40 hours a week and management that couldn’t care less about you. 

First off this place is ran poorly the management is horrible. They will make you do things that will have you scratch your head. For instance I had to move a stockpile multiple times for 0 reason. They don’t care bout you they harass you if they don’t like you and play favorites with the people they do like. The schedule here is the worst 1 week days 1 week swings rotate every week. Sure they pay good have good benefits but other than that this place is horrible to work for. 

A typical day at work usually consisted of various stages of road construction.

This was my first truck driving job where I learned the majority of my truck driving skills.

Management was excellent and thorough. We had morning job briefings every morning.

Job assistance and guidance was somewhat lacking.

The hardest part of the job was not getting a lot of assistance at jobsites and was seasonal and I didn't like being laid off every winter.

I was excited to learn all of the aspects of construction truck driving.
