JMAC Resources

We like to think that everything is what you make it.  Sadly this is not true.  I went into this company with the hopes of having a long term career opportunity with what I thought was a growth company.

JMAC Resources on the outside appears very inviting.  But looks can be deceiving. This companies biggest problem is that there are too many relatives working together in the same departments and divisions.  The dispatch department in particular is supervised by a Mother and Son team with the Son having a Napoleonic syndrome who leads by intimidation.  This creates a hostile work environment which caused several drivers to quit or be terminated unjustly during my short tenure there.

I was terminated totally unexpectedly.  Was I upset about it? No not particularly because work was extremely slow and I understood that if the work wasn't happening then there was no way to keep my position.  What I am upset about is the slander and lie that was told to prevent me from collecting unemployment during my transition. 

It was reported that I was terminated for misconduct.  However, there was no documented written nor verbal evidence of such.  Couldn't believe what I was told by the Unemployment division and what was written by my former supervisor after receiving daily praise for the great work I'd been doing and the sad face act I was given the day I was let go.

I wouldn't recommend anyone applying for employment with JMAC on any level as there is no future in it if you are seeking long term employment.  They will use you up and throw you away especially if you are not part of the internal click or family circles.

The CEO is a former Investment banker.  Never met him nor saw him while working there but it seems he is very much detached.  Only cares about the spreadsheets and reports and not the people.

Middle management is ruthless and highly suspect.  I'm sure resources are being misappropriated at all levels.  D.O.T. records are regularly misrepresented and definitely an "Audit" is long overdue.

My days were long, but I looked forward to the interaction with the employees.  I wrote all the policies and procedures, trained employees in OSHA required topics, accident investigation, root cause analysis, managed all insurance claims due to incidents, and responded to some medical emergencies.

I have always known that you focus on the employees, and they will focus on the business.  I tried to instill this in a management team that at times looked at safety as an expense.  During my tenure, that culture began to shift and I believe safety is embedded in their daily culture.  Management didn't always understand the value of safety, but they did afford me latitude to prove it's worth.

At times the work culture did not boost moral.  Hourly employees, of which I was, did not receive, any benefits including, vacation, holiday or PTO.  There were some inequalities for which I will not focus, but I did gain much knowledge from JMAC for which I am grateful.

The hardest part of my job, was not having an assigned vehicle to use when I had to respond to emergencies.  There were times when some of the divisions ran 24 hours and I was the only safety person.  To get the call of an accident or injury at 2 am, meant I would drive to the main office, find a vehicle, transfer my paperwork/medical bag into whatever company vehicle they gave me and then respond to the emergency.  This did slow down response time especially if I had to warm up the vehicle, brush off snow and scrap windows.

The interaction with the employees was by far the most enjoyable part of my activities.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Good people and and overtime almost every week 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Not much just show up and work and it usually easy going 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
As long as you show up and do your job it is a good work environment. Sometimes work sites are a little chaos and as a long time experienced operator you some time question the way Foremans do things but in general decent place.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Some days can be long cuz most jobs are decent way from shop

With JMAC, it’s all about the management team. 25 years in the ready mix and aggregate business, I never seen a management team so untrustworthy and disconnected with their employees. 
Most drivers/employee's were good to work with. The batch plant and yard is a mess with a layout that makes no sense. Area dumping leftover concrete dangerous - OSHA/MSHA should be inspecting this place. 
If you are looking to learn driving a mixer or dump trucks, go here and get a few months experience, then move on to a better company. Other than that, find another place to work for. You will be treated less than fair at JMAC.

Post falls site 
The post falls site is pretty poorly managed. They say one thing and do another. Yeah you may be making a good hourly rate, but the hours are not their as an equipment operator.  The equipment has constant issues with it, and yet management still doesn't do anything about it, even when it's been written down on the msha inspection sheet. It's like pulling teeth for a lion, almost impossible. It's not like any other mines I've worked it, very poorly managed and care to much about the profits vs the employees well being. 


Best job I’ve ever had, just not a huge fan of North Dakota. Location was the only reason I decided to leave Jmac Resources. I would definitely work for Jmac again if their business was located in a more desirable area  Great group of people and I felt like I was never held back from being promoted and/or taking on new challenges. Jmac Resources provided a wide range of services in the oilfield which created an opportunity for employees to continually take on new challenges

Worked there for about six months coworkers pretty decent to work with, contractors are horrible Most of them will treat you horrible will curse you out, very  stressful and unsafe Company does nothing about it!!There is no schedule its pretty much work whenever there is work could be 3 hours a day could be 15 could be 6 days Very inconsistent equipment is horrible trucks are old. I would highly recommend looking for a more stab list company with better policies and a better structure situation.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Lots is wrong with that company. Starting with the GM.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Being the only person doing his and the job another guy and not getting recognized 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Always revolves around batch plant and batch plant operator. Wish I could be the son inlaw soon so I always had a job no matter how little I did.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Long and usually  very dusty cause they don't use water trucks.

A typical started at 6:30 a.m. which usually ends about 7pm or so. I learned a lot of new cleaning techniques that I will be using in my personal day to day life. My co-workers were nice, accommodating, and resourceful. My management team were personable and willing to assist whenever possible. The hardest part of the job was the extreme cold temperatures in the winter months and the most enjoyable was the new learning experience.
