Hedrick Industries

Get to work get ready to be safe as possible. Check your machine and do preshift. Listen to your daily instructions and try to always do your best it will be good for you in the end.

I have learned so much about sand and 
Rock and the purpose behind it. I have learned how to be a professional operator and enjoy the customer trucks coming in several times a day. If you have a willingness to learn the possibilities are endless.

Management is off the chain. Best managers we could ever have. We are productive so it gets tough at times but our managers are always team players who are always working with us not against us. Upper management is very eager to help us succeed.

Culture is very strong working together as a team. This is a family owned company and they really do care.

Hardest part of job is doing something that 
Most hate changing grease barrels. You get really greasy if you’re not careful. It’s an important part of the job to keep your machine in good shape but it can be difficult. 

Most enjoyable would be seeing what you have accomplished during the day when you take a step back and realize we did that.

The company has been around for almost 100-years, so there is definitely job security as far as the longevity of the company and it being family owned. No fear of waking up and not having a job one day.

It seems like they definitely take strides to get employee feedback and improve the culture and way of doing things to keep employees happy. Pay and benefits are competitive, and hard work is recognized and rewarded through raises. Depending on the position, moving up can be a challenge based on the job structure, but getting a bump in pay for performance is not dependent on changing positions - which is nice. 

It is the only company I've worked for that gives everyone a Christmas bonus and gifts, along with random "just because" gifts through the year. 

Some job roles require more hours than a lot of other jobs/companies, but they realize that and do their best to keep morale up and not burn people out.

Overall, a solid company to work for, evidenced by the fact that many employees have been here for 30-50 years, and many retire and come back pretty immediately as part time help.

Hedrick Industries produces aggregate (crushed stone), sand and gravel for Western and Central North Carolina. The company has been in business for almost 100 years and has 9 separate mine sites.

The work is tough, safety is non-negotiable, and the hours can be long. Hedrick continues to make strides to ensure that benefits and pay are competitive if not above market average. Hedrick has also incorporated more technology into the day to day work environment over the past five years. 

Hedrick has an outstanding reputation with customers that it serves in it's respective markets. It continues to make strides to be an employer of choice as well. Great place to work if you're looking for a long-term work family. Committed and responsive leadership. 

I was a contractual worker for Hedrick Industries western division as an IT assistant. Honestly I had a blast working there and i consider it  one of the best jobs i've ever had. Each individual mine is operated as a sub company for Hedricks; so needless to say it made for some very interesting introductions and office environments. I suppose the only negative about the company is that they can be a bit slow to adopt newer technologies, but when they start they go all out. So my personal advise is give Hedricks a chance. It's family owned and operated which means you aren't slaving for a corporate dollar. You're actually helping a not so small mom and pop organization that has the potential to rival the top 2 aggregate producers on the east coast.

Hedrick isnt the best place to work. Employees are over worked, given little notice that you’re going to be working past scheduled time. If you want a home life this isnt the job for you. Your coworkers who are liked will get special treatment, and when you ask to get something done it may or may not happen. They always say theres gonna be change, but there never is. You’re vacation pay will be taken if you miss days of work for any reason, doctors note or not. Definitely wouldnt recommend this place

A typical day at work you go in early because of management ask you when you think you’re gonna get off at a normal normal time to be home to eat dinner and sit with your family when management comes to you 30 minutes before your time to get off and ask you if you’ll work another five hours for them if you tell them no They threaten to write you up if you say yeah then you’re the night and shining armor 

Hedrick Industries is a strong, yet small competitive aggregate producer. I had some outstanding co-workers. Management was somewhat aloof when it came to seeing and dealing with real issues.

Hedrick was a pretty good place to work. I worked for them a long time and in all different locations. It’s pretty much the same everywhere if you can get in their buddy system you will have it made. Pays decent. Poor work environment. 

Since a manager change the work environment has changed for the worst it has made me look for a new career they don’t want to stop an make  repairs that are long overdue it seems no one can make a decision .This has to change morale is at  the bottom and  no teamwork at all

Company goes to great lengths to accommodate family emergencies and situations. Works well with giving time off when needs of family overlap time at work.
