National Trench Safety

What is the best part of working at the company?
The benefits were okay. That’s it. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Having managers that are both incompetent and insecure (micromanagers that make poor, unsafe, and illegal decisions) and perceive you as a threat because you have talent and integrity. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Working here is like entering a marathon right after having your legs amputated. The pressure from the top to double revenue while being starved of resources to provide customers with quality service or products speaks volumes: the upper management took over the company in order to flip it and sell it for a profit, and that’s all they care about. This means they squeeze every single employee as though they were applying a vice to oranges in order to increase the yield of juice. I have never had a job that had such high expectations at such a low salary and quality of life. This company is going down like the Titanic.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
It’s like being inside of a building on fire with no exits and no water to put out the fire. Between trying to prioritize customer needs, carefully transporting their products, and managing the ancient computer system, while being denied service from vendors the company hasn’t paid, and trying to double your revenue with a rental fleet that should have been replaced a decade ago. A typical day is a recurring nightmare that you never wake up from.

The warehouse is disorganized, inventory is all wrong and never correct. If you tell management you need material to do your job weeks in advance when it starts to get low they don't order it then, when you run out of the material and notify management they get mad at the yard guys and blame them for not telling them the material was low. Orders from the office are always wrong, or not sent over when placed. The late orders are sent over and yard guys are forced to stop what they are doing and work on an order that was missed and labeled as asap. Any concerns brought up to management just get an "oops, sorry". The Dispatcher is not held accountable. Office manager would rather keep someone incompetent because he was the one who hired him, instead would lose hard working employees. Management plays favorites. They don't care about your personal life and guilt you to come in if they are short staffed, instead of stepping up and helping out in the hot heat. They get to stay in a cool office and bark orders at the yard people. If you want to do a lot of work and never feel appreciated from your management team, then this place is for you! 

I worked at National Trench Safety for almost a year and had an overall good experience.  Making friends isn't usually my strong point, but while there were occasionally some clashes with my co-workers and management I was willing to work through these,and got the job done as well as built relationships in the process.

I worked at the corporate office, and while I've lived around the world and went to College I learned a lot about myself and about my job that I don't believe I could have learned elsewhere. Overall, this was a great company to work for and would gladly do so again.  

Moving along, I wish this company and the people who work there the best. Great team, great people, and great company.  Thank you.

At one time when this company was Trench Plate Rental it was a geat company, and then change and growth took center stage and they forgot about people. They offer hourly incentives because the atmosphere is so bad they cannot keep workers. Senior management is totally disconnected from the day to day and use tools for imrpovement as tools for punishment. Their focus is become so big that when they are sold the board and senior team get paid. Submit ideals and never hear back, promises are not kept.

And start to fight about nothing!
I glad I am out of there!
I not the only one I was told previous employees  quit too!!!!! for the same reasons!!!!
Thanks I hope this help other.


Company doesn't care about their employees. Would not recommend to my worst enemy. The office staff are terrible. The dispatcher forgets to send orders so always struggling at last minute to get orders done. Office mistakes means the yard guys pay for it. Everything is a rush or ASAP but then will sit in the yard for days waiting to get delivered or picked up. Get yelled at by management when you ask for tools or equipment you NEED to do your job.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Can be incredibly rewarding but incredibly stressful 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Management is required to run their location like their own business but with hundreds of additional hoops to jump through 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Depends solely on which manager is above you 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Put out all fires. Anything from unfulfilled orders to sales generations to damaged product
