Lane Valente Industries

What is the best part of working at the company?
Company van, gas card, Home Depot card, and ADP retirement app. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Scheduling, using different apps for different jobs, management turnover rate.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Upper management team is pretty solid, mid level management team is chaotic. They have a bonus system that doesn’t make sense. I drive 2hr 30 mins to a job that takes 30mins to complete and then drive 2hr 30 mins home but my productivity is supposed to be over 50%. Last mgr wanted me to stretch the job time so that a 30min job should take me 3 hrs to complete to get closer to bonus productivity levels. New manager wants me to complete the job asap and go to the next job which means no bonus but work gets done. Doesn’t make any sense.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Start my day at 8 am. Check schedule, read emails, head to job. Arrive at the job, walk the job, develop a plan, get plan approval, make material list, pick up materials, complete the job. Go home or if time permits go to the next job.

It is a great place to work if you are single with no kids as your work week is not on a set schedule most of the time. You can expect to make great money especially if you work on projects as overtime is pushed to get jobs done. Lack of material or wrong materials ordered is common which can benefit you or get you sent home from the project. Asking for time off is a gamble as managers will try to talk you out of it because there might not be work when you come back. If you are a problem solver and or quick learner with common sense than this job is fit for you as you start being noticed from the higher ups. If you want greater responsibility than by all means take it but dont expect a raise right away....run the rough wave for a bit so they know your worth. Traveling the country is a huge plus. The biggest con is having to eat fast food every day as you are usually away from home. Per diem is $25 a day and you are usually compensated for fuel. The crews you work with are pretty laid back but every once in awhile you will get that arrogant lead that tends to know it all. Keep track of emails you send just in case to watch your back if need be.

Everyone in the company was always nice and supportive as well as helpful. Even when we had difference of agreement on certain things the team would come together and put a solid plan together as one. There was not a time when in doubt I couldn't pick up the phone and call as far up to the President of the company and he would be right there to assist or help find a solution. All the office staff through out all the offices are always pleasant and willing to assist at anytime. Most definitely recommend joining this company and I would go back without a blink of an eye. Excellent people and solid company structure and values. 100%

I've worked for Lane Valente Industries for almost 10 years and I've seen this company grow by leaps and bounds. I've noticed a lot of negative reviews on here and I can say that's not the norm for this business. It seems like a lot of them have had a negative experience based on the nature of the work they're doing and given the tremendous growth there are sure to be some growing pains but I've had nothing but good experiences here and  my career has really expanded in the almost ten years since I started. I don't think all the negative reviews paint a fair and accurate picture of this company but like most careers you get out of it what you put into it. A great place to either start your career or further it!

You get a company van to take home and gas card.

Helpers working on live circuits is a common occurrence. 
 Often sit around waiting for work ( no pay ). 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Most employees are disgruntled and do half assed work. The supervisors blame 
employees for their mistakes ( happens often ).

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Work is work , whenever it's available you do it happily. You can count on things not going optimally good every time.
You must be a fast thinking problem solver
to be effective.

A typical day at work consists of lots of emails, updates and follow ups. I feel i have gained knowledge on how a service ticket starts and the steps/process it takes to get the job done and the end result making sure the client is happy with the service that was performed. I feel we have a good management staff within the company that is willing to help in any way when needed. The hardest part of this job for me has been transitioning from car business world to the HVAC/Refrigeration world learning the trade, software and process. The office staff/team that I work with.

Very stressful, your questioned on everything you purchase to repair a job. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Get up early, head to a job only to get half way there and have a dispatcher tell you to refresh your schedule.

Work overload, takes advantage of hard working, knowledgeable employees who can handle a large volume of work and let the employees who do nothing push around employees doing 99% of the work. Promises made by management never come to fruition and no advancement opportunities for exemplary employees unless you are in with someone higher up. Even then, it's almost impossible. Management has no idea what the day to day is like in certain depts, have unrealistic expectations about dept procedures and make very foolish decisions. No stability. 

Management, for the most part, has not grown with the company. The core group runs the business in secrecy with unfair application of their own rules and benefits. Greed is the primary management motivator, which leads to an abuse of employees on many levels. Employees were taken advantage of during covid with pay cuts and bonus suspensions while the company continued to show profits and receive Federal covid assistance.. If you want to maintain your personal integrity keep looking, this is not where you want to be
