Schillings

Schillings is a great local family owned and operated company. The business has been around since the 1940's and I can honestly tell you that they know how to treat their employees. They treat every individual as family and not a number. The owners know everyone that works for them and even take the time to help anywhere in the company that is needed. They know how to treat their employees and it truly shows by their actions each and every day. They are family driven and want what is in everyone's best interests. Everyone has random things that pop up in their life, there has not been a time in my career where they have not helped where they could; even if it is just allowing me to leave a few hours early to watch a family member's baseball game. There are several company sponsored events throughout the year such as softball, bowling nights, taco day, The Polar Plunge that allow employees to have some fun both in and outside of work. 

Schillings has some of the best employees around! Several people have been here for over 20 years and their knowledge of the industry is off the charts. I have never seen a team that is so knowledge in so many departments! Everyone is very helpful and is always willing to give a hand when it is needed. I feel that all of the departments communicate well with one another and bounce ideas off each other to help strengthen the company as a whole. Feedback is very important and it is awesome to see when small ideas get reviewed and positive changes are made that positively help everyone at Schillings. 

The environment at Schillings is pretty fast-paced, but it makes the days go by quickly. The managers mentor their employees to help them succeed and do a good job each day. People that are willing to put in the extra effort definitely get rewarded for their hard work. 

I highly recommend Schillings to anyone that is looking for a professional, fun, and family operated company! The growth opportunities are endless and they truly know how to treat their employees!

So working at Schillings started fine.  Base hourly plus tiered commission structure looked decent.  (Except I was informed the last day of the month I was not eligible for commission my first month of employment, which I would have been paid due to achieving the goal that was set for me).  They stated they were big in making sure credit was given to the salesman that did the work but I watched another salesman close a sale that I quoted after I threw the quote on the table in front of him that I had written up the week before and followed up on.  Ok. I see how the game is played.   So then I get fired for having an employment verification request come thru the company.   Thru all my recent job searches I had one that absolutely was a better paying job to take care of my family but the timeframe was much longer to start.   They decided to “part ways” with me on the same day,  after allowing me to finish my shift putting together $16,000 worth of estimates and close almost $6,000 in sales.  Ok.  Game continues.   Three business days later they still had not filled out the employment verification and I had to call and hound them to do.   I will state that my direct manager was as straightforward and respectable as any manager I have worked for.  Very good employee doing his job.  Some of the other people that worked there as my peers were also very good people.  But the way the “company” treated me and my family was, in my opinion, unacceptable.

I’ve been an employee at Schillings for a little less than a year. As with any job there are the standard gripes of long, sometimes tough days, but the overall company is pretty great. The people you work with make it all worth it. Each day I interact with many people which makes it feel like you don’t just sit and stare at a computer screen all day. It is very fast paced with a lot of work to get done but each day is very productive.
Schillings started as a family owned company and decades later is still family owned and that’s how they treat all employees, like part of the family. Owners and managers work at desks right next to their staff and are almost always available when needed, really emphasizes the Teamwork mentality. I’ve never been denied a meeting if I had a question or concern, very approachable. There are many opportunities to continue to excel and move up. They have high standards for workmanship, but it make your successes feel that much better and they will use constructive criticism when needed.
I’d love to see some changes in benefits regarding time off, employee events, improvements on training processes to make it easier to retain the info and product knowledge.

At Schillings, employees are provided with the best tools available to thrive at their fullest potential. A successful employee is one who is self-driven, motivated and seeks out areas that need improvement before being instructed to do so.

Employees are encouraged to take on as much responsibility as they're able to handle. Truly a 'Create-Your-Own-Path' atmosphere. Hard work does not go unrecognized.

A family-oriented atmosphere introduces casual and relaxed interaction between employees. The Schilling Brothers work side by side with their employees and participate in daily business operations.

With so many unique positions available, Schillings offers real-world experience of the Home Improvement Industry to its employees, regardless of their profession.

At Schilling, my primary position was in professional sales where I exercised my strong interpersonal and communication skills to acquire accounts. Additionally, I worked on a team of 4 importing and tracking sales data on all major accounts. I was promoted to IT operations where I was put in charge of purchasing and implementing a new software for their outdoor living department. From the technical perspective I have gained excessive knowledge of complex decision analysis, software integration, profit optimization, and professional sales and communication techniques. This experience has equipped me with new ways of retrieving and analyzing data from both an individual sales perspective, and from a company’s corporate position. Schilling was a great starter company to work for, and often lacked intellectual prowess within the company. However, this allowed for individual growth and education in many divisions of the company. I enjoyed my time at Schilling, and believe it has been a tremendous benefit.

Schillings is by far the best place I have worked at. The Schillings family treats everyone great and often has company events for its employees. Days consist of 10-11 hour shift that fly by because you stay busy. Overtime is offered which is a great thing to have. Management is understanding when going about with your life outside of work. Its all good honest work. The work environment is very positive. Working here you learn new skills every day which turn you into a better worker in the long run. The hardest part of this job is getting use to the long days at first but after that its smooth sailing. Everything about Schillings is positive. If you put in the work you will get noticed. 

Biggest take away is that this is a family ran company that does not just see you as an employee. They see you as someone who is working to support your family at home.
Is this a perfect place to work? It all depends on the position you want. It has a large variety of positions ranging from outside physical work, retail sales, or an office position. 
I like recommending applying here because it is a local company that gives back to the community. You see the owners on a daily basis. They know your names and often more than just that. Where else can you work at such a successful business and get that experience. It feels awesome being so much more than a number.

In a typical week at Schillings you will work about 50 hours. It is fast paced and high pressure combined with an extreme lack of professional respect. The employee turnover is like nothing I have ever seen. They have a hard time keeping employees even in these times. On the positive side, they do have 2 of the best showrooms I have ever worked in and I did learn alot working for the company. I also meet alot of really nice people. Although, none of them work there anymore. One of the hardest parts of the job was the really extreme procedures that always changed about the time everyone figured them out. This caused alot of stress.

There is room for growth, and they encourage you to develop yourself. The company pushed me to achieve goals I didn't think I would reach. Not only have I expanded my skills as an employee, but I've also gained skills that apply to my own life. The hours are long, but you get paid holidays and vacation which makes up for it. Also, they are willing to work with you when it comes to appointments and emergencies. They do a great job taking care of the employees. Medical, dental, 401k, disability, profit sharing. They buy lunches on a regular basis and also hold special events, contests, and other fun games.

The learning experience and team player atmosphere working for the Schillings was invaluable. The work loaders very heavy, and there were many weeks where I did not see my young children.
They have one of the best design showrooms in the area with any material available to be able to sell. They have a great check process to help the designers avoid crucial errors upon the order process.
