ROCKWOOL Group

The management is legendary here for having unclear, inconsistent, and overall poor communication. Supervisors come and go all the time. The culture is toxic and fosters fear more than anything else. Each shift is held to different standards and thus there is always infighting between them. There is no cohesive training, new hires are churned though at a breakneck speed and turnover is insane. Promises are made and broken constantly to the point people are surprised if management actually follows through on anything that might make life easier. Our schedules were constantly being changed and hours have been cut many times despite it being a brand new factory. Overall the work itself is not too bad and if management wasn't seemingly making a concerted effort to increase misery and strife I probably would have stayed. Don't work here unless you are literally just looking for a paycheck, and even then there are better options if you go half an hour away north, south, or west. Do not recommend.

All in all Rockwool was a great place to work, however, most of the line employees are some of the most unprofessional, immature people I've ever seen at a job, and it isn't just the ground level line people, the Leads, who are supposed to lead by example, are just as unprofessional. If they could tighten up the way they handle employee/employee complaints or restructure their entire policy, it would be a 5 star place. Great pay, great schedule, lenient with work/ home life balance, but the employees ruin all of that. Not all but some of the managers act like regular employees and don't care about you

I worked at ROCKWOOL for a decent period and would describe the experience as fairly average overall, though it had its highlights. The most notable positive was the financial reward – pay was above average for the area and came with solid benefits, which definitely made me feel valued in that sense. Bonuses and overtime opportunities were also a plus, and compensation was generally fair for the work expected.

The work environment itself was okay, but nothing exceptional. Some days felt repetitive, and the physical demands could be draining. Management varied depending on the department – some supervisors were supportive and communicative, while others seemed disconnected from the floor. Training was sufficient, but there wasn’t a lot of opportunity for advancement unless you were very proactive.

Overall, ROCKWOOL is a good place if you’re looking for stable, well-paid work. It’s not the most inspiring environment, but it gets the job done financially.

Hmmm where do I start? Well I got hired as a front loader driver for the company and the first week I did everything under the sun but drive a front loader or anything. They had us doing a lot of manual labor cleaning up the ovens and majority had a shovel in our hands. Seem more like a job boot camp more so than a job so if you were hired for IT well buckle up because you’ll be doing everything but that in the first week. I’m not the one to shy away from hard work but I didn’t sign up for what they had me doing. First interview the person I met with was 30 mins late from meeting me in the front lobby so I could have been interviewed on time(huge red flag). HR was suppose to have a conduct meeting with us guess what she never showed up. So all in all the management is terrible in all honesty with being on time with things unfortunately.

ROCKWOOL is literally the dream! Everything you aspire to see in your employer from culture to perks, ROCKWOOL is able to provide that for each and every employee.

The only thing ROCKWOOL could work on is building more locations across the US so more people can experience this wonderful workplace!

As with any startup you expect setbacks and learning curves. This is my second startup an Rockwool is amazing!

A lot of good Rockwool provides a great schedule for a home life with 8 hour shifts! The "upper" Management needs to be more hands on and actually involved on the floor to actually listen to what issues we may be having. Of course every place will have "issues" but I truly believe Rockwool wants to provide a great workplace for employees. Don't heistate...apply! We need great people!
