Lindsay Precast, Inc.

Lindsay has a ton of different concrete precast structures they make. Many are the same, while others are more complex. They will train you on how to build, supply PPE, and pay pretty well. They expect you to always be working, even if it's just sweeping, and to work very quickly. Lindsay will pay an extra $2/hr worked every two weeks if you are on time for the start of your day, and come back from lunch within your 30 minutes. They are VERY strict on punctuality, and even if you are seconds late, you lose your $2/hrs incentive for the full two weeks, and you also get written up. 

Safety in the company is lacking, and essentially is just watching videos, and having a ~5-10 minute weekly meeting where someone reads a safety topic to you and your group. They have you sign a piece of paper saying you received the safety training after each meeting, however, if safety affects speed, it seems like speed takes priority. They are very open to hiring people with criminal backgrounds, so if you're having a hard time finding employment due to your past or trying to get into the construction/concrete industry, this place is a great place to start.

Overall, I enjoyed my time at Lindsay Precast. Just be punctual, work quickly, don't participate in work drama, and be mindful of your surroundings while working, and you'll be just fine.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Great plant staff! They were a hardworking, dedicated group, and I truly appreciated the teamwork they brought every day. Their commitment made even the toughest days easier.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The most stressful aspect of the role was the revolving door of management. Leadership changed so often that there was no consistent strategy or guidance, making it hard for the team to understand priorities or the company’s direction.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
The overall environment and culture were challenging. From the top down, leadership struggled to create stability, and the people on the ground often felt unsupported and let down. It created a constant sense of uncertainty, as if we were always waiting for the next issue to drop.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
A normal day involved managing a lot of stress due to the unstable environment. Without steady leadership or clear priorities, the team spent much of the day reacting to issues instead of being able to plan or work proactively.

Working at Lindsay precast as a maintainence professional, I was given valuable experience in fleet maintainence, heavy equipment operation, and, most importantly to me, welding. My foreman and coworkers were helpful and knowledgeable, and I enjoyed working with them. However, we were severely understaffed, and management didn't seem to understand the challenges of our job or the professional opinions of our foreman. Everything was a rush all the time, and so we did not receive the proper time required to adequately complete any projects, and so ended up working excessive overtime. The pay scale was disappointingly low for the skilled trade work, and there was no sign of that changing and very little room for advancement. 

This is a good place to work.  If you are the type of person just looking to collect a check and do nothing, stay home and don't apply for a job anywhere.  This is a manufacturing job.  Concrete forms and construction.  Time incentive is real, opportunity for advancement is real.  Rarely any weekend work and they typically ask for volunteers if needed.  Average 9-10hr days.  Some guys have to work longer but they are paid overtime and I haven't seen this to be a long term thing.  When they start a new job there is prep work that only a certain few can complete.   I enjoyed my time with Lindsay in Rock Hill.  It wasn't a super hard job, management expected you to perform, but that isn't different than any other work place.  They were willing to work with me on my schedule if I needed off.

Pathetic company to work for terrible wages cocky management... save yourself some time and effort and go labor else were they will degrade you and there is more drama then highschool the actual management is what will run you off with the lies and deception they will feed you on a daily basis. Also your timed to do things but the times given are completely made up and set you up to not hit the incentives which is what would make your pay even close to what it should be for back breaking labor.... don't hit apply you will greatly regret it shame on indeed for even letting them post to find labor they will personally run off

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
It's non stop from the time you go in they have cameras everywhere watching just waiting to yell

If you are trying to find a stable job then keep looking. you will be paid terrible due to the amount of work and stress they throw on you. You won’t be trained, management couldn’t be worst they will constantly talk down to you and put you down every chance they get. Every piece of equipment there is old and breaks down everyday and they will blame it on you and not the fact that they need new equipment. They expect you to work from dark to dark everyday and also have mandatory work on Saturday every weekend. If you want to have a life and like your mental health don’t pick this place 

What is the best part of working at the company?
Once you understand the basics and the work flow, the only one that can really sink your ship is you. The pay is very comparable for the industry. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Cameras everywhere and they always trying to get you for timesheet fraud. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Much better now that it is no longer owned by one family. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Busy and scattered between two plants

I was very excited to work there, though there were some warning signs right off the bat - comments from clients and other industry professionals signaling that the company had a declining reputation and toxic management. As a family owned business, you are either in, or not... the management was changed after many many long time employees departed in a brief period of time, though executive team still supported this manager and simply relocated him to another plant. You either work the Lindsay way or go away - many of us did..
