Jesco,-Inc

A decent company to work for but they have a severe problem with Nepotism. I've been on jobs all over the US with them and almost every job had a Superintendent with all his family on the payroll. The unskilled family members were usually given jobs like tool room clerk or expeditor. The work load was given out in the morning and if you were not family or not on their good ole boy list you were given the hardest most dirtiest jobs to be done. Some Superintendents would hire their best friends and give them leadmen positions that had no construction experience what so ever!

In tough economic times they will hire Journeyman workers and pay them helper wages because they know "John Doe" is behind on his truck payment and his mortgage. 

One of the issues I had with them was working one job for a couple of weeks out of town then getting told I was needed at another job 500 miles away the next morning. Either go or take a layoff. This happened numerous times.

If you fit in with their little click and Deer hunt, fish, 4 wheel and drink a case of beer per night then you will fit right in. 

There was no paid vacations or holidays when I worked here. 

Most of the local work around Tupelo and surrounding areas is manned with family and good ole boys also. So if you don't mind traveling and sleeping in shady hotels this job might be for you.

I am the BD Coordinator, so I am not a jobsite often, but I have met all superiors and management. I also began working at the beginning of this year (2024). Pretty much everyone at this company is great, kind, encouraging, understanding, and experienced. Everyone is encouraged to learn new things every week, whether it's in your job profile or not! Weekly safety meetings are held company-wide, so everyone is learning how to be safe on a job site or in the office. There are a lot of employees who have been with JESCO for over 10 years, and I can see why! This is a great place to work with a great work environment, everyone is part of the same team. No matter what position you hold, you are considered a valuable part of the team and treated as such. Whether you are working on the same project or not, help will always be given when asked. Overall, thier core values hold true: Safety, Integrity, Passion, and Commitment. These values are not only held for clients and projects, but the employees also exhibit these everyday! Truly a great place to work! 

Had a great group of co-workers, spent 95% of the time in the feild with the co-workers. Management was very supportive, but lacked a little involvement of actual feild work, spent most of the time looking a paperwork as to what should be going on and not what was actually going on. Hardest part was dealing with the main contractors safety department due to that persons lack of experience in the feild. Best part of the job was the day to day dealing with the workers

On  a typical day we come in get set up for work from the previous day. Management may be around in the area but workers should continue work from day before. No time for learning too much because the Job has to be done in time lengths.The pre diem was Low like 55 dollars max.  The worst part of the job to me was the pay because of dangerous things we do on the job site. Overall we were a brotherhood and stayed safe out of 4 years i seen 1 fatality.

everyday was something new to work on or do incase we had a project going up mostly building maintenance leaking roofs set machines wired them bulit cat walks ,silos, changed grain elevators 
 torched out side panels for hoppers hardest part of job would be traveling away from family but i love to weld and to fix the problem co- workers were fun and taught me things i didnt know 

 SUMMER JOB PRIOR TO SCHOOL BEGINNING AUGUST 20, 2007: HIRED AT JESCO, INC.; RESPONSIBLE FOR TYPING UP PROPOSALS FOR ESTIMATORS; LIGHT HUMAN RESOURCE WORK FOR ALL EMPLOYEES; LEARNED OSHA RESPONSIBILITIES, PUT TOGETHER WEEKLY REPORTS FOR ALL COMPANY LOCATIONS; ANSWERED PHONES; REPORTED TO OFFICE MANAGER AND VICE PRESIDENT; WAS ASKED BY VP TO STAY ON WITH JESCO AND LEARN ESTIMATING

Straight out of Industrial Maintenance Technology school it was a little intimidating but at same time an experience to carry with me a lifetime.
Mostly old equipment and components I had never seen or learned about but I did learn on the job. This helped me on future jobs where at least I could hold a conversation with older workers about working on older equipment when the 
need arose

JESCO has been a great place to call home the last 10 years. The family-oriented culture is second to none. Your coworkers are more like family and everyone cares for and supports each other. Throughout my time with JESCO, I have had ample opportunity to develop my skills through training and mentoring. There's a reason people spend their entire career at JESCO. 

I have worked for this company full-time for over 10 years. During that time I have worn many hats, most of which have been inside the office ranging from design development, cost estimating, project management, to safety. This company is committed to helping it's employees be successful at their job and allows them the flexibility to try new things.

I loved working for this family run and operated business. Got to do a lot of traveling and meeting and selling to new people. Just wasn't good when the owner had passed away and I moved to New Orleans to start my own business.
