THE SACK COMPANY

I enjoyed my job and the work I performed for the company, and many of my coworkers were great people.  As an employee who spent a lot of time out of the office they supplied me with a high quality laptop, iPhone an iPad.  Overall they had structured processes on how jobs were funneled through the company, which is often times not the case in the construction industry.
The problems with the company were mostly based on the management and the culture.  The management team and certain other employees were very much an insular clique, the company's in Georgia so a "Good Old Boys Club."
Even though the company was very organized as far as dealing with the jobs, the HR department was a mess.  When I started in 2022 many of the plumbers working below me hadn't had raises in 3+ years and were ready to walk off the job.  Raises are supposed to be done yearly.  Other issues had to do with promises not kept, I was hired with the promise of bonuses based on job performance, even with my jobs coming in on-time and under budget they never distributed the promised bonuses.  I found out later that bonuses weren't given out to everyone, just the people in the inner sanctum.
I really enjoyed a lot of my coworkers, they had some great plumbers, but again they also had several awful plumbers who because of who they were friends with in management continued working for the company even after many GC's refused to allow certain coworkers on the their job.

They definitely pay an experienced person what they’re worth and the benefits package is excellent. I always got 40+ hours in every week with the option of overtime in a general sense. 
The management overall isn’t bad but like anywhere, there are one or two that leave something to be desired. Coming from a senior management background, I seen things in the processes that could be improved upon but I wasn’t in a position to speak on them. Seen some favoritism go on there with certain people while others were treated differently and I didn’t care for that much but again, not in a position to speak on it. When I would offer my experience and thoughts they were often brushed off to the side as if I didn’t know what I was talking about by certain management so I didn’t really care for that aspect of the company. They’re dealing with growing pains in that particular office and I’m sure things will balance out as they should in the future. 

The leadership at Sack Co is deplorable, the two owners do not get along and do not communicate and they're also brothers which compounds the issue.  Their benefits are a joke, if you have a family prepare to pay $250-$300 PER WEEK for a horrible health plan, they only recognize 4 holidays (if you have been there for a year), any others they expect you not to get paid since the office is closed.  If you're in a management position do not expect to receive any direction or guidance as to their expectations, owners will regularly schedule people without informing their supervisors.  Unless you are part of the "chosen few, inner circle" you're wasting you time working at this company.  They regularly install jobs that do not follow code and joke about "Getting it by the inspector"  
I learned my lesson, don't make the same mistake.

I do not feel the reviews for this company are all accurate on this site, it seems some reviews were given by disgruntled employees. There is good and bad everywhere you work. You are compensated fairly at this company. Everyone works in different departments/groups of employees which plays a large role in the atmosphere of your working environment. Just as working for most employers as long as you are reliable, do your best work and keep the company in mind you should be happy (which is what any other employer would expect). I am not enrolled with the healthcare that they offer however I do know that the premiums are very high compared to other employers. They do also offer a 401k matching program as well as disability, life insurance, accidental, cancer policies and more.

Sack offers a 401k match that no other specialty contractor in the area has and is continuously finding more things to offer as a small/medium sized business. The culture revolves around supporting the teams in the field. It is a great place to work and so long as you do your job, they will not lay people off regardless of economic pressure. Recently they have been bringing in top leaders in the industry for training and sending more people throughout the company through leadership programs

For the most part, my experience at SACK was a state of confusion. No on-boarding for roles, nobreal job descriptions with roles and responsibilities. Performance was based on dollars, not impact to community, culture, or conderation to learning. A lot was expected of PMs, but no one could answer your questions most of the time. When you did get answers they were different depending on who you asked. PMs are responsible for profit on jobs, but only over labor and communicating to GCs and you will meet management weekly so they can point out what you are doing wrong weekly.

Where to begin, yes the sack company has been around since 1945 and has an established roll in the construction industry.  Job security is there, benefits are average maybe a little less than average, pay is a little less than average but overall it was a great experience and for the most part I greatly enjoyed my time there.  I felt certain employees were treated unfairly and managers were allowed to pick and choose these.  No merit or way to track promotions or raises.  Promotions are rarely given within the company especially for field staff. 

This company has an awful work environment run by a tyrant. The whole company is run by fear. They treat their employees like numbers and value high school games and gossip over skilled professionals. This is the worst company I’ve ever worked at and it was bad for everyone I spoke with daily’s mental health. They only care about you if you like gossip and games. I wouldn’t recommend this place to my worst enemy. Be warned, no amount of money is worth your peace. 

Sack is a great contractor to work for in South Georgia or South Carolina. They do offer some benefits that other companies don't and if you show up and work hard and let them know you want to grow - you can. Every division manager at Sack company started as a green helper in the field. They always have the best trucks, tools and make sure you have what you need to be able to do your job.

Learned a lot about construction throughout my years there.  Everyone is treated like family.  Working in construction management is a mix of office and field work. Coordinating budgets, preparing project plans and analyzing appropriate construction methods might be done in the quiet of a firm's main office. But it'll often be necessary to visit the construction site to assess progress and interact with the workers.
