We would meet in the morning get our assigned spots on the road , Usually a two mile stretch between each Flagger get set up call for all clear then start paving. We would alternate releasing traffic each direction, calling out last car or truck which ever it might be  to the other Flagger

       Hardest part of job was, distracted drivers and standing in the heat for 14 hrs.

Best part was having plenty of down time to eat, and hydrate.
  And meet people in my lines of traffic since it was a for of customer service.

  Learned a lot about people and how they react to different situations

Leave home about 6:30 or 7:00 am. every morning and head to my scheduled area to do site visits.  I Some days it was site work that was the focus, and other times it was to do a training of some sort. I feel you need to do your job to the best of your abilities and hope that it's enough. The hardest part of the job was trying to get a handle on the expectations of a safety professional. The best part of the job was working with the men and women in the field. So many great personalities and characters with amazing skills.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Well, that depends we try to get all we can get done in the time allotted but every once in a while, there’s bumps in the road which we just deal with

I've first hand seen the mistreatment of employees as well as sabotage jobs so they would get more money. A flagger for the company was struck by a driver that was texting and didn't see the warning signs. Shelley and Sands is a self insured workers comp company has denied the flagger some treatments and contested every hospital bill the flagger accrued. She even had to pay for her own life flight. Horrible company to work for.

Difficult place to work. Job security very iffy. Constant threats of firing. Many people carry guns at workplace. No training provided and you are expected to know everything the first day literally.
     You must be related to someone to get a job or a great friend at a minimum. I could never recommend that someone take a job there.
No room for advancement. No good deed goes unpunished.

The work is long hard days of labor working over hot asphalt under hot sun. Lots of overtime which makes for large paycheck. Follow workers were good to work with, but being hot and tired can make for hostile atmosphere some days. There are no organized breaks you have to eat and go to the bathroom when you can get the time. You go home on rain days and you are laid off in winter.

I enjoy my time at Shelly and Sands. It is a very team oriented environment with several opportunities to grow and better yourself. I also get the sense that there is a very good chance of becoming a leader.

The hardest part of this job was working on the highway with moving cars and flagging traffic. When working on bridge replacement I would run jackhammer and help with concrete replacement and building forms.

hired in as receptionist and worked my way up to accounts receivable    clerk.  Great brand, co-workers wonderful, team players.

Loved the work. Didn’t love the superintendent/management. Was always putting me down and calling me names and made me feel less than a person. Was not what I expected from a highly thought of company
