Monarch Paving

The job was for pickup and delivery of parts and equipment out of the Amery location. Two people work in parts for the shop in Amery. One is very cool, helpful and friendly, and I could tell that he really cared about his job and treating people with respect. However,  that person's boss has been there forever and treats people like the help instead of part of the team. There is a very weird toxic, stifling atmosphere and it seems like everybody is walking on egg shells to not do something wrong and make the shop boss mad. Most of the other people there were cool though. 

Working for this company is conflicting. Yes, I love my job and what I do. Having said that, there is no opportunity to grow here if you don't belong to a certain group of individuals who I would classify as favorites. Hard work, dedication, and willingness to grow and learn mean nothing to the division manager. More times than not they will hire a kid fresh out of school with no experience for a leadership position before they will advance from within the company.

To be honest; most don't make it. It requires a VERY hardy individual to make it at Monarch. You have a LOT of job security, though (the world will always need roads), but unless you give it your all, you probably won't get the raises and promotions that your coworkers get. Self-starters do the best. But if you treat Monarch well, Monarch will treat you well. They are fair, and if they know they can count on you, they will work with you on "almost" any issue.

Overall its a great job. But you have some foremans who like to procastinate and milk the clock. We're standing and working outside in heatstroke or hypothermia weather for 15 hour days and the foreman and supervisors should be more sympathetic to that;

We had long weeks, that were very productive. Every day as much as possible was done and the co-workers were helpful and very willing to teach me and help me to lear new things.

A typical day at work starts by getting to your job on time and getting what you will need for the from the foreman and to find out what will be going on. The hardest part of the job is being outside all day in the heat.

Long days, and its hard to learn anything when you mostly just get yelled at. Management only ever cares about you always having a clean vest. They hire own family for the easy office and lab spots.

Love working for company. Plenty of hours available. Great variety in the work. Company vehicle provided. Earnings vacation days. Pay is competitive. Lots of overtime available

Great place to work. Management can be unorganized at times. Great place if you are single and don’t have kids. Traveling out of town took its toll on my family. Kudos to those that make it work.

Long hours and hard work.  Pay and overtime make up for it.  You get a great sense of accomplishment from what the company does and the impact they have on our communities.
