What is the best part of working at the company?
You have the opportunity to meet a lot of people because they are constantly changing.  Would be the only good part. Just don’t get attached cuz they’ll be gone. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
When you realize you could be fired at anytime, without reason. No warning will ever be given, no performance management, and they give you no directions and financials so you have no idea how your doing!

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Unprofessional!! There no structure, there’s no respect for employees,  A family business handed down that’s ran by a guy that thinks he’s entitled and better than everybody else

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
I went to work and did my job, tried to stay outta the drama.

I've been here for over 16 years. The service manager has been here for over 30 years. The work is honest hard work. This work has many avenues (body, wheel end, air & electrical systems, welding fab, etc.) We try our best to find the right niche for our guys. If your a person who doesn't ask questions, there's no future for you here. We have the knowledge, experience, & training to make sure every job is done to the highest standard. The hours are awesome 7:30am-4pm. Manager is flexible with your hours. The work is always changing. I learn something new almost daily. Right now, we have a well-aged crew with lots of experience. I couldn't be happier with our crew. I plan on being here for another 20 years at least. We offer monthly catered meals, bonuses, yearly raises, & training.

Pay & benefits
I worked only temporarily here. Just 6 weeks.

Job security and advancement
Not good!

Management
They won’t tell you anything to your face. They told me my assignment was through by text message from the job search agency. Said the reason I was through because they were headed a different direction. The very next week I was replaced by a man of color. I guess they consider moving in a different direction is to replace a woman with a man!

Overall
Would never work there. If they don’t like you, for some odd reason or another you are gone. The main manager did not have a good personality. Was very uncomfortable working under someone like that. The rest of the employees were very nice to me and friendly!

I was given the tools to do the job and was given space and encouragement to do it. As i had issues i was able to reach out for support. My colleagues and coworkers were very helpful and they also took advice as well. Training was very good as far as product knowledge and our supplier support was great as well. The service department helped me on many occasions, helping me out during an emergency situation.The company has been around for many years and has been a leader in the industry. The pay was market fair and it was a very tough market as well.

The day would start out by pulling customer orders. Invoicing the pick tickets for delivery. Put away parts that had came in that morning and prepare for delivery, stock or for the shop. Receive paperwork for assigned delivery route. Reconcile paperwork with parts to deliver, load delivery van and load van. Establish route that needed to be taken from nearest to furthest, unless otherwise specified. Deliver parts to customers. Pick up parts a various vendors for shop and customers on return trip.

Opportunities for advancement are limited. It is still run like a family company and if you are not in the family you get stuck in some of the lower positions with little chance of getting very far up the ladder. If you are ok with not growing in your position and just want to show up do your job and leave it is a great place for you.

repairing trailer that was on work orders. didnt really learn much .Management is one that will tell you one thing then yell at you the next. co workers there was good helpful when you needed them. Hardest part of the whole thing was getting along with management but did enjoy working on new issues that was wrong with the trailers everyday

I found this place very respectful and generous.
They work with you on personal matters if they arise and have a complete and understanding of work life balance. 
Management listens and takes action and puts forth effort to keep employees happy.
There are benefits most companies do not offer.
As a female I feel respected in this company. 
Lots of positive upbeat people with passion work here which make it enjoyable.  


I worked for these clowns. The service manager is a condescending, backbiting, gator-faced and belligerent drunk. Just a total dirt bag. No clear goals are communicated and unless you’re one of his good ol boys, you won’t fit in. Those who stay so so out of fear. I’ve never been treated so shabbily by any employer in my life like I was by these people.

Great Management! This company really cares about their people. They give you all the support to do your job. All you have to do it supply the effort to be successful. What else could you ask for? I only left due to out of state family circumstances. This opportunity was an amazing experience!
