Union position-trash union/ not enough members shady union if you arent 150% all about the company then you are on the outs. Saturdays are mandatory not as needed the union is only good for one thing guranteed 40 hours. They watch the truck gps while you drive so if you stop for a coffee be ready to explain it management holds grudges and can become childish when it comes to moving on from a mistake the pay does not reflect what else other delivery jobs out here pay and if you dont work the overtime ie saturday your paycheck will be terrible they dont offer compensation to learn special skills for machines that require more training the vehicles are rusted falling apart and almost unsafe its not a place to work if you are young starting out or starting a family advancement is a longshot and maybe after 15-20 years youll be promoted to your managers role which isnt paid well either overall co workers are pretty good its a fun environment but this company and the division you would working for is a small part of a very big global company and HR has no idea who you are and what union rules and company rules apply to you and dont and if you have any issue your low priority its a mad scramble most mornings and it doesnt have to be   

Working a regular 8-5 Monday through Friday full time job through Matthews International.  Matthews International is one of the leading companies in statuary, memorials, casket and mausoleum products.  I work with the art director and four other designers to create an intimidating amount of photography touch-ups or create photorealistic mock ups of memorials to be used for their memorial design website being launched in June. 

I am given a set list of memorials to complete within a time frame, and normally while working on that project new priorities would arise that would taken care of immediately.  A large part of the job was time management and learning how to shift from one project to a totally different project at the drop of a hat.  It has been very fast-paced work but each image created is extremely detailed and accurately made using original line art or old photography.  

What is the best part of working at the company?
The co workers and my kids. Even though we as on camera we have a sense of independence which is great

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The management, the favorites they have and how poorly operators is run. The benefits are nonexistent they pay ZERO HOLIDAYS, ZERO VACATION TIME and any sick days that are earned you get an attitude when u need to use them☠️

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
It's fine with the coworkers it's the management that ruins the place. Culture well??

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Clock in 6-6:30 am go about your morning runs, maybe a field trip if your lucky enough to get it then directly to your pm shift or if you have no field trips then you are off till 1:45 home bout 4:30 unless you pick up a later trip then it's home between 9-11 pm

No advancement at all if your good at a job ur stuck there, pay is  awful for what you have to put up with and do , never know what hours your working , greedy corporate never happy with any amount of money or work you put out , preaches safety but will write you up or fire you if there two foot of snow and ice on the roads, ever few months there always taking benefits or changing some rule to benefit themselves, no real management in the building there just all puppets doing what corporate tells them, 6 day weeks all the time this place is a literally nightmare  120 plus inside the building in the summer and all the crybabies in the winter that don’t work make them run the heat so still hot year round stay far away, This place makes some of the pores quality products and they blame it on the employees when it’s a multi million dollar engineer ring problem that they  won’t admit 

Our job in the funeral industry is stressful.  Making sure that you get the last wishes of a family member correct can make you nervous, or it does me, but with the tools that you are given and the people that you work with, they make your job so much easier.  From day one everyone that works at Matthews has treated me like a dear friend.  I am celebrating my 2nd anniversary today, and I wouldn't want to work anywhere else.  I enjoy coming to work everyday, is it stressful, yes it can be, but I know that I can get through anything with the crew that I work with.  The managers are here to guide us and to make what we do a success, they do their jobs tremendously.  

Although there are a few steps to climb in order to become an employee, the recruiter is top notch.  She is there to help you every single step of the way.

I have worked with this company for almost two years. Its not a hard job but nobody has any idea what they're doing. The drivers are underpaid and the medical benefits are so expensive that what you're left with, you barely get by. In a time of crisis, such as Covid19, Matthews stopped vesting in our 401. A business such as this continued to be essential and thrives on people dying, (they sell caskets to funeral homes).
I was placed on quarantine due to the Corona Virus and returned to work after that. I was lied to by my boss about getting paid for quarantine and was not paid for being quarantined (mandated by NY State). This company does not take care of you in anyway and only cares about money. I would advise anybody who desires to work with Matthews International, take another look elsewhere. 

Don’t waste your time - move on to the next opportunity unless your a experienced construction estimator and only want to make $70k per year because the title “Construction Estimator” basically stands for “Chief/Head Estimator” but of course they are cheap and are only willing to pay the minimum they can. Forcing that person into the chief position and then complaining when they hired someone unable to complete the job. 
What they should do (since the construction estimator is the chief and the ONLY estimator) is pony up the money even if it is above what upper management makes especially if all the responsibilities land on the construction estimator and ONLY the construction estimator.

It's a workplace that requires manual labor in most job settings. However, you find this out during your interviewing process so it should come as no surprise. I cannot speak for all Matthews locations. But the Searcy, Ar location has made terrific progress concerning safety and the way management interacts with employees in the time that I've been associated with the company.  If you're looking for advancement it's not the company for you. However, if you're looking for a steady work schedule, competitive pay, a place where your supervisor isn't hoovering over you if you're doing your job right ,and an overall safe environment. Matthews is perfect for you!!

Matthews International was a wonderful place for my first exposure to the business world and how a highly functional business is run. I learned a lot from the people around me, and everyone was always willing to help in any way. I gained crucial software application and communication skills throughout my time as an intern. I always felt welcomed is every situation, as I was invited to many meetings and conference calls to better understand our business. Many days here are pretty slow because there are some times when projects aren't assigned yet or there are delays in communication. Overall, I enjoyed my time at Matthews and learned so much about a variety of business procedures that can't be taught in school.

Company has no direction. Acquisition of sgk just made it a bigger mess. Too many levels of unqualified management that didn't communicate with each other and little to no communication with employees. "Smart sourcing" was just sending work to China. My advice is if someone takes a job there get paid well and keep the job search going. The employees there were knowledgeable and worked hard to exceed customer demands. Didn't matter to corporate, they would discard those employees and make bad decisions to get their bonuses. Worked there for a long time and got out. Almost any employee I knew or met within the company hated it and was fed up with the company.
