Jes-Foundation-Repair

- A typical day at work with JES usually start with a a morning meeting where foreman, co-foreman and installers  listen to what Management wants to discuss, then it's on to getting to the job. The work is hard and can test you mentally, emotionally and physically. 
-I learned a lot during my time here, a lot about the work we do, I know more about structures and homes, but I also learned what's good and bad management. 
-Management has changed quite a bit in the past year. We went through two different General Manager's before getting a third, and the one we have now constantly looks down upon the production team and time and time again keeps telling how just how un-intelligent he is . We've been through two Production Manager's. A Super intendent who was mistreated by higher chain of command even after working here for 6+ years.  Two of our current superintendents know much less about the work than the actual foreman who are out in the field. Considering a handful of us personally trained one our superintendents, and the other is too immature and disrespectful. They constantly bash old management and the people beneath them even they're the one's who are at fault. It's needless to say, management has more than a lot of room to grow and change.
-The workplace culture use to be a welcoming place. I loved waking up to go to work, but as of late, meaning the past year or so. Things have changed a lot since new management showed up. "Welcome to the tribe!" is the motto, but the "tribe" culture is non existent, especially when management bashes and talks down to employee's to other employee's. 
-The hardest part of the job is having to deal with the constant nonsense that management sets in place. Busting your tail off everyday and not get a bonus that they constantly dangle over your head, on top of trying to get the job done right, in the incredibly short amount of time they expect you to finish the project, only to be criticized and ridiculed and they wonder why they can't keep employee's.
-The most enjoyable part about the job is the people you get to work with on your crew of 2-4 people, as well as driving away from the job and leaving the warehouse in your review mirror.

Overall this is not a bad job if you understand what you are getting into. It evolved a lot in the time I was there, and unfortunately a lot of the perks and bonus structures of the position and things that made it great went away as they got bigger. It used to be a pretty relaxed, friendly team environment with high  standards, but then changed into super competitive and feeling as if you had one bad week of appointments, your job was on the line. Your "off days" were never actually off, because thats when you were expected to do follow ups and trainings, and usually you were still fielding multiple phone calls from customers and crews that had issues because the front end staff would just give them your personal phone number. You are expected to work every weekend, and you will live on the phone and the road, 60k+ miles per year. Have a good, reliable vehicle that gets great gas mileage so you don't spend all of your paycheck just driving to leads. All of that said, the sales training you receive is top notch, and applicable in almost any field of work. And you can make some great money as sales rep here, I can almost guarantee that you will make over six figures your first 12 months, but with the new training program, it will be a few months before you start making really good money. It's a great job if you have no kids or don't have a bunch of family obligations. 

Not so much management as it is the laborers and foreman complaining about equipment when it's actually decent equipment. I've worked for really poorly run companies who let their equipment including trucks run down to the ground. Since the supply issues in the U.S for the past few years these guys don't try to think their way around job materials or equipment and maybe borrow from another foreman/truck which is a common practice with most companies in the world. In any career it's mainly your perspective/attitude that makes a great manager and/or foreman. Basically stop complaining about how you want the company ran and quit if you don't like it. Great place to work and many hours to work if your tough enough. Keep pushing with a positive attitude and you'll reach the top or wherever you wanna go here.

Where do I start. This job was not what was advertised me and other crews were referred to as pussys, I was once told my brain isn't functioning properly. I was threatened that if i went to corporate that i wouldn't get a raise or promotion. These are just a few things that happened throughout the course of my year and a half with JES. If I could rate this company a 0 believe me I would. Just to give you an idea of how bad it is I've seen at least 80 people come and go including multiple general managers and production managers in that short period of time 9 different superintendents. This is not a place for career advancement. They offer zero training they offer you a very low hourly rate with the opportunity of bonus pay that they almost never pay out. They force you to work sometimes 15 to 16 hours a day. The culture is so divided.

I wish I could rate JES with a Minus.  They are so far disconnected from how their everyday workers are treated, paid, spoken to.  I have NEVER been in a more stressful work environment.  The workplace culture is one that I do not even know how they can change it at this point.  The culture does nothing to promote trust, self worth, confidence in your role.  Terrible culture and work environment.  Management goes out of their way to agitate the employees and form distrust among co-workers.  Management has NO CLUE how to lead.   Office Manager(s) have been absolutely awful.  Everyday was filled with dread just having to be there.  Run the OTHER way from JES.

I loved my job there the work was not hard only what you made it, to me I can't believe people will pay the kind of money they do for the work but it wasn't nothing to it the hardest part was the lies that got told to me the ultimately led to my departure I was on my way to big things at this company but I guess the one training me was young and thought he carried the Salem branch on his back bless his heart I've even tried to go back but they want even let me tell what the real reason I no longer work their for is, to me it seemed like people wanted to bash each other behind their backs and eat them up to their face everyone told me the one guy they put me with no one liked to work with him I found out quick why he was a true hypocrite.

Absolutely the worst place I've ever worked! They take advantage of everyone since you up to fail So that they do not have to pay bonuses. Claims to be hourly plus bonus but do not tell you that if something goes wrong on the job or you work past eight hours a day, but you won't see much of any of . Employees will lie on you managers will lie to you and at the end of the day if you tell them, you're struggling to make ends meet they will tell you sorry you're an adult

What is the best part of working at the company?
Nothing, mgmt sucks, force you to work 80 hrs a week as salary, HR isn’t helpful at all.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Hours, and management requirements to do push-ups at their discretion.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
9-12 hrs, meetings and unhappy customer complaints all day, unfinished job complaints or poor quality workmanship

New GM is running this location into the ground. Employees are leaving and management is left without any guidance or help. One super at ROA has a brown nose now and can’t be trusted. Kinda suspicious on why you would bring someone in from outside the company that knows nothing about foundation work to run the branch. Run far away from this company!! 

Overall I greatly love the job and the  workplace culture 
Typical a day at work, was enjoyable and my payments was well, the hardest part was doing others jobs and assignments. 
I believe that transparency is key and should be reciprocated and adopted throughout all levels of management.
