MacArthur Co.

A typical day involved pushing through constant dysfunction caused by unchecked toxic behavior and clear favoritism. Instead of fostering collaboration, management often enabled poor conduct, sidelined honest workers, and rewarded those who played political games. I learned how to document everything, advocate for myself, and maintain professionalism in a hostile environment. The hardest part was watching talented, hardworking individuals concerns be disregarded, while nepotism dictated key decisions. The most enjoyable part? Helping customers and supporting teammates who genuinely cared — despite being overshadowed by negativity. My advice to potential employees or customers: send someone who doesn’t speak English fluently into one of the branches and ask them how they were treated. That alone could change your view of what’s really happening behind the scenes. I’m walking away with clarity, stronger boundaries, and a renewed focus on finding work where toxic employees don’t steer the company’s direction.

This company has pay on the higher end for the area.  $14 hr to start and has work to do.  That said hours do vary without notice obviously due to the nature of the work.  If there is need of materials that day 10 to 15 hours can happen the reverse is also true to the point of 2 to 4 hrs a day.  That is of course the nature of the job.  Overall it is a standard company for this industry.  The culture is on the poor side imho due to an odd manager employee dynamic.  It bothered me but I have honestly seen others use it to their advantage and get great benefit from the relationship.  The biggest pro of the place is management has a openly known policy of NOT firing employees but aggressively enforcing a culture of fix your mistakes.  This is a good attitude in this industry as there is way less fear of losing your job due to a bad day.  I do advise that people applying think about the intense nature of this type of job, you deal with angry hate filled co workers, even angrier contractors and customers.  Other than that it is a solid choice in this field.

It was VERY hard to do your job when your co-workers fail to communicate as well as fail to do they're job. Its hard to work as a team when nobody wants to do they're job. I also wouldn't say MacArthur is a company to work for if you live on your own or have kids because its not promised that u will remain an employee there they let you go without warning without explanation. It's supposed to be a "family work environment". Very slow hardly any business , definitely if you like staying busy this would not be the right place to work. I also would recommend to not work here unless your 40yrs or older only because nobody will listen to you if your not.

I was an Office Manager / Executive Assistant at on of the Branches in the West.  I loved the people I worked with.  They were very helpful when I would need help.  I did a lot of tasks in my role.  I was able to learn the system they use with ease.  My boss was very flexible when it came to family matters.  All of my contacts at Corporate were very dependable and helpful.  Anytime I would reach out to someone there, they would return my call right away.  Always were eager to help me.  I miss working for the company and all the people I was in contact with.  Excellent place to work for with excellent perks!

What is the best part of working at the company?
Best place to work in the booms are so easy to use!

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Winters are very slow so when summer comes around is hard to transition

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
If you work hard, you’re rewarded if anybody works here, I would not pass it up

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Going out making your bone deliveries if you’re fast at it, you’ll be back to the yard in no time and just make your hours

Worked there for a time. Most of the managers are ok. Quit because one of the managers started yelling and treating everyone like children. Tried to settle him down until he started in on me. Other people will screw up and the managers blame the wrong person. Paper work is all screwed up. Pay is good, just not worth working for people that want to yell at you and make you feel small. If you want to work there, you may feel included at first but then it will be like walking on glass.

I worked at macarthur for over 3 years in Hayden idaho,  the people are great to work with, but there's the office guys and then everyone else are loaders, drivers and warehouse, there is no actual MANAGER. ATLEAST AT HAYDEN BRANCH... which is unfortunate scheduling jobs is always scattered, and it can be 330 4 o'clock and the office guys will schedule you another job 1.5 hrs away it's a joke...

 now spokane wa branch great management and great people! 

Pay is competitive, manager is great at orders and product but undermined by his two sub managers.  Overall ok if you are on the good side of the whiney sub managers whom have to have a whipping boy at all times.  Great until they drive off the current boy and focus on you.  I left because of the sheer hate in the place.  Also truthfully it is not a place that I would be a rock star at anyway.  This is just a warning to propects.  Hour are solid, pay great, bonus after 4 years.

The workplace culture here is hostile and you feel like your walking on egg shells constantly. The Manager talks down to you and is not very supportive of you or your customers.  this results in tense customer relations and difficulty in retaining new customers. Majority of coworkers were great to work with and were way more supportive than the branch manager.
