James River Equipment

The coworkers were good and an enjoyable job if you like hands on work. The training is very minimal, most of what you learn comes from coworkers while on the clock and no ‘paid training’ as they advertise, or really any training at all. Managements only concern is the customer and they do not stand behind the employee or take care of them at all. There is no respect or loyalty to the employees from management, they couldn’t care less about them. The service manager didn’t do his job at all and passed it down onto others causing things to get backed up or confused but would always put it on those under him. Management would tell you one thing and then do something completely different. Lots of politics and talking behind people’s backs. Overall not somewhere I would ever recommend to anyone looking for a job.

There wen first start everything sounds amazing they promise you everything but wen you start working at James river you notice that the place is full of snakes in grass and people there on the mechanical side they are family friends of people in charge they got past jobs to become customers to buy equipment  or they have family members in charge there. All they worry about their is how much money you can make for their company to beat CAT 😂 and the sales they get on equipment that’s all they talk about ever meaning they have if the  management doesn’t like you or doesn’t think you’re be good fit say goodbye to your job and they we’ll be very unprofessional about it and it would just come out of nowhere no warning or nothing 

This place offers great pay and pretty fantastic benefits although pricey!  New management let's employees run the show. You can visit management repeatedly about the same issue and it doesn't make a difference because he won't confront the issues. The old lady who works in the office (Accounting) is just plain rude and disrespectful and doesn't mind spreading rumors and lies about other employees. She will involve herself in your private medical information and  spread lies about that as well which is against the law. Run away from this place.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Not bad at all take it one day at at a time

Good place to work, and technicians in the shop worked great for me.
I opened and closed repair orders, took payments in cash, checks, and credit cards. Scheduled all repairs and pick up and delivery of all equipment to be repaired and equipment that was sold. Oversaw all safety regulations (OSHA) for the shop and buildings,trucks and grounds. Ordered parts needed for the repairs and made all estimates and then called the customer to get their approval before the repair was started.

In the position I was in, you are required to work 50 hours most weeks with little appreciation for your efforts. The compensation for your time is laughable at best and hard work is rarely rewarded on merit. There is a very tight knit clique atmosphere in the headquarters that hinders people who are very talented at the other locations to advance realistically.

Do yourself a favor and stay away from this organisation. They are very top heavy they say they are employee driven until but mostly lies. Co-Workers were great, benefits are fair at best but they will cost you in the end. If they don't like you as a person even when you go above and beyond for your customers they will find a way to let you go with out any reason.
