After initial hiring drug screening is not performed on a particular division because the vast majority would fail.  They do not pay shop time because it is "voluntary" but you will be sat if you do not take part.  They will try to short you on hours as well as drive time.  Some supervisors will physically assault you.  No per diem, on swanks time for 15 hours a day but only get paid for 10.  Biggest issue though is the drug use that foreman, superintendent, and safety officer are aware of but refuse to acknowledge. "Random" urinalysis is only done on employees that they know are clean.  They also inform foreman of upcoming urinalysis testing at which time drug users take time off.

There is a right way, and a wrong way to do a project, but the superintendent did it his way, which was always the hard way, and the work was not done properly, therefore certain projects failed. When these projects fail they blame it on the operator the ran the equipment. The superintendent, and formen will not take the blame. The hardest part of the job was doing the work the proper way. The most enjoyable part of the job was going home

I spent summer 2019 at Swank as a communications intern. The people that I worked with were lovely and I had the creative ability to create newsletters, web designs, and letters for recruitment. It's a place where I learned what is expected of someone in an office setting.
Interns are required to complete a summer project together, but the interns I worked with were fantastic, and we had a lot of fun together.

I enjoyed that I could have this job while also being in high school. I was able to go to school and work some nights and work a lot in my off summers. I think it's good to learn hard work early and be able to learn how to handle money and pay for my own things before I hit the "real world". The hardest part was working for family. It's difficult to live with a father and a brother that you also have to work with as well.

If you work for the right division of the company it can be a great place to work. Some things can change at the drop of a hat. long work days typically. great pay. chances for advancement. usually laid off in winter. some company trucks provided. management has worked in the field as well so they are understanding to an extent.

Poor work environment.  Had a non-functional PC for over 4-weeks after being employed and given nothing but excuses for such.  Owners could have cared less about COVID in March of 2020 and lied about protocols in place when called back to work in April. Hostile and toxic environment.

They're a family of good people. Honestly you won't run into a bad person. If you
 do your job at a medium pace and don't argue with your managers, youll be fine. Health benefits are great. And it's 4x10 work weeks which means you get a mini vacation every weekend. 

It lacked communication and training. Everything I learned was because I took initiative. Project manager was very demeaning to women and difficult to work with
