Platte River Concrete Co.

There’s usually something new going on every day, which helps keep the job from feeling repetitive.

Management is responsive and does make an effort to address concerns and keep morale up. Safety is taken seriously, and expectations are clear—if someone isn’t meeting them, it is addressed.

The team is one of the better parts of the job. People are willing to help each other out, even across departments. New hires are given what they need to get started, but a lot of the learning is hands-on as you go.

Pay is fair for the type of work, and there are opportunities for overtime. If you’re someone who takes initiative, there are opportunities to grow and move up.

The schedule can include Saturdays, so it’s not always a Monday–Friday job, but they are usually willing to work with you if you need time off and plan ahead. Work-life balance is decent overall, though it can depend on how busy things are.

Pros:
Safety is a real priority, not just talk
Management is approachable and responsive
Strong team environment—people help each other out
Work stays interesting with a variety of projects
Fair pay with overtime opportunities
Room for growth if you put in the effort
Medical, dental, and vision insurance offered

Advice to Management:
Continue investing in employee development and benefits affordability

Platte River does pay well and they have quarterly raises up to the top pay. 
They also have the retention bonus they pay us every January, based on the hours you worked the previous year.
We have a friendly work environment with lots of good people that work here! Everyone from drivers to dispatchers, QC and the managers are all people that are easy to get along with. We are a team and we try to help each other out if we can.
Also this company has made a lot of changes over the past couple of years! Changes that are definitely for the better. We have had pay increases and adjustments to our work schedule to help ease the stress for the drivers. For example, last season I generally worked 10 to 12 hour days with a few 12 plus hour days, compared to previous seasons we were almost constantly working 12 plus hour days.
They also made some changes to the way we train our drivers.
The company keeps their trucks modern by replacing around 10 trucks in the fleet nearly every year.
They also changed how we clock in and out daily and we are also using Paylocity where we can check messages, pay stubs etc online.
Some of the changes that they are planning, is not working the Saturday of, both Memorial day and labor day, giving us a 3 day weekend to spend with our families. And the Friday and Saturday following Thanksgiving.
This company has been working towards making positive work environment and what we need are some good drivers with positive attitudes and want to join a good team.
Last but not least there are more changes to come and we know they will bring improvements.
If that is what you are looking for, then come join us here at Platte River! Come Join the change!




What is the best part of working at the company?
Working at PRCC has been a great experience. The best part of the job is definitely my coworkers—they’re kind, friendly, and make the workplace enjoyable. We genuinely have a good time working together, which makes each day more rewarding.

The company is always striving to improve, and there’s a strong sense of teamwork as we work together to deliver a great product to our customers. It feels good to be part of an organization that is focused on growth and quality.

Another thing I appreciate is that no two days are ever the same. There’s always something new happening, which keeps the work interesting and engaging. Overall, it’s a positive, supportive environment where both the people and the work make it a great place to be.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The most challenging part of the role is when multiple things come up at once. You can be having a smooth, steady day, and then suddenly several urgent tasks pop up that need attention right away.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
The work environment is friendly and relaxed, and the culture is inclusive and welcoming to people from all backgrounds.

Worked as a quality analyst. Never knew there was so much to concrete and didn’t learn much since there is basically 0 training. Managers at job site expect you to know what you’re doing from day one even though PRC provides no training at all. 
Quality analyst position should be renamed to company punching bag since you’re the person work site managers scream at when PRC messes up their concrete (which is pretty often) 
My direct supervisor was really cool and laid back but everyone else made the work environment terrible. They were miserable and hated working there and that atmosphere would rub off on you. 
Low pay for all the hours you would put in. When I would work 60 hours a week I wouldn’t even touch $1000 with overtime. Made about $500 with 40 hours. Not worth getting up 3-4 in the morning for such low pay. 

As a truck driver, product delivery specialist,  at Platte River Concrete Company, it's my job to safely deliver the product(s) purchased by the customer to the designated location and then offload the product(s) in a safe and satisfactory manner.  In doing so, I must use wisdom and discernment so that I do not endanger anyone or damage property. 
I get to meet many different people, travel to different areas of town (sometimes out of town) and enjoy the environment. 
I've learned to provide good customer service & not just delivery a product(s).

The company is a good one to work for, the dispatch can seem to have some favoritism but mostly fair, work life balance isnt great long 10 to 14 hour work days during the summer and 4 to 6 avg during the winter, new trucks from 2021 to current managment is very nice and understanding when life happens they understand and do help you when you need it would recommend this job i have a class a but all you need is a class b for the job, wish the pay was more per hour but starting pay still cant complain  

Constant changing start times never know ending times. NO CELL PHONE IN TRUCKS even though work 60 plus hrs during summer. Forced Saturdays. Look for any reason to write up and deny quarterly raises. Company seens like in downward trend. I put in two week notice and they released me with in hrs
