Grabber Construction Products

I really enjoyed working for Grabber overall. I'd probably still work there had I not been forced to work alongside a lazy coworker who hardly pulled this way and complained incessantly. The loudest wheel gets the grease, and this wheel never stops squeeking.

September of last year I was supposed to begin working on higher level projects and helping branch manager with more administrative tasks. Sadly our warehouse guy couldn't complete the majority of his tasks without them needing to be redone and reworked, so I spent the majority of my time doing a large chunk of his job.

Here we are 8 months later and it was clear that this was not going to change. The whiniest employee spends the most time in the boss's office, and takes most of the boss's time. This doesn't really leave time for advancement or even up training to improve my skills.

As with any work environment, the culture swings in whichever direction the moodiest employee wishes. Sadly management was not helpful in steering the overall morale of the office or in reducing toxic behaviors and attitudes.


If you work hard, there will always be more work for you to do. If you find ways to cut corners and make it somebody else's problem, you'll probably get away with it if you work with anyone more honest than you.


At Grabber we pride ourselves based on our five core vales being; Family, Dependability, Inclusion, Curiosity, and Humility. Family being the most important value to me, my peers and co workers are family to me and are treated as such. We want everyone on our team to feel welcomed and valued as part of the team at Grabber.

I have been employed with Grabber construction products for 10+ years and only have good things to say about the organization. A little about my background, I started as a delivery driver and worked my way up to inventory management. My coworkers and peers along the way were nothing but helpful and respectful to me providing guidance and promoting growth. They take great care in concern for their employees wellbeing as well as work environment. In my personal experience I have found nothing but opportunity for growth and success in my career with Grabber and would recommend employment to anyone seeking a fulfilling career.

Grabber is an excellent employer that has made a lot of great changes over the past year-- added a company holiday, improved ADP,  employee engagement, communications.  Team is all new and really progressive, excellent customer service, and great partnering.  You can buy grabber screws for drywall at Home Depot locally.  A majority of the U of U housing projects is made with Grabber screws.  This company is like a mini-Amazon delivering construction products directly to construction job sites and works  through dealers and contractors

A typical day at work is coming in making coffee for everyone, getting situated and answering phone calls, direct them to destination or help if possible. Filing, faxing scanning, emailing, data entry and Inventory. Help other departments to be productive and as needed. Fun to work with very outgoing, different cultures, I am very adaptable. The hardest part of the job was learning all types and different sizes of screws. The most enjoyable of the job was working in different departments.

Everything is stressful, there’s a really toxic culture with a lot of gossip, also very devisive. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Extremely toxic!!! Definitely a boys club where females are not promoted nor are they compensated like their male counterparts. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Start early and work long hours, a lot of gossip.

Work can be challenging but manageable with a mix of self-directed and assigned work. A lot comes at you you which creates variety and opportunity to learn more. 

In locations I have worked, others I have  worked with understand their jobs and typically pull their weight. Everyone depends on those around them. 
Some long days but generally 8/10 hours during the week. Very few nights and weekends. 

The company has been in business for nearly 69 years and continues to evolve while keeping the foundation that was established early on.

Do not ask questions or have solutions. That’s just how it is.

Never ending confusion and total lack of communication
