TREX COMPANY

This company is a complete joke. Management/HR is awful. I was fired because I was bed rest by doctor’s orders from a car accident and filled out my ADA paperwork but since neither an approval or denial was made yet they let me go because it looked like I had 25 missed days. I was in a very severe car accident on 81 and when they brought me in they told me I had until Monday to get an approval from ADA which shouldn’t be my job since I did everything on my end and they should have been contacting them to figure out what’s going on not me and not to mention they did this on a Friday, They had me work my whole shift except for an hour and half of it brought me and told me I had until Monday to get an approval or I’m terminated so I couldn’t call Friday since they were closed by the time they told me this information so I had to wait until Monday morning to try and call ADA. Not only this but when I was let go it took a total of 6 weeks to get my last check because “payroll didn’t pick it up since I was let go” this company is by far the worse company ever and do not care about their lower employees! When you go for an interview the butter you up like it’s the best company ever but it’s a trap this company is manipulating and just overall an awful place to work. Take my word and don’t work for them. They started hiring new people and paying them more than what people who been there for 2 years were and did all these incentives for new employees but didn’t do a single thing for the workers they had there already. This place is the biggest joke over ever seen. STAY FAR, VERY FAR AWAY FROM THIS PLACE!!!!

Trex is only worried about pushing out product. There are numerous issues in the Fernley plant which don't get addressed, until they hinder production. Nothing gets preventative maintenance in the facility, so nothing works properly. 
The company does not care about family or religion. They feel like they own their employees, and often mandate them to work overtime on days they are scheduled off, often turning 3 day weekends into split days off. Even if you tell them that you can't work that day for whatever reason, and giving points when you can't ablige their request.
They tend to have a very high turnover rate. They fire, or force the hardworking few to quit, while keeping the trash employees who do no work or randomly disappear for extended periods of time. Leaving the area understaffed and expect one or two people to do the job of three to five people. They have one individual who literally gets away with everything and is rewarded with "Perfect Attendance," even though they have had "no call, no shows" for entire work weeks and the individual isn't responsible for doing any overtime, mandatory or otherwise. The individual is reckless and dangerous, hitting and destroying things and other pieces of equipment, yet still keeps their certification on forklift.
So if you are looking into working for a company that literally makes you earn your pay, as well as expecting you to earn other's pay for them, than maybe Trex is the place for you. 



I worked for trex in the fernley,NV plant. The orientation and ojt was a great experience. However, after that the problems became very clear. The entire atmosphere seemed very hostile and unwelcoming. You would think after them giving you the basics they would place you with a mentor/trainer to help guide you through the process in learning your day to day responsibilities. But instead it felt like I was thrown to the wolves. Instead of guidance I received harsh treatment from peers and little to no help in learning my new role. The attendance policy feels like they are wanting to fire people. Very little flexibility there at all. The point system I feel is not a good fit for anyone that wants to feel secure in the company. Safety was lacking in almost every area of the plant. The ppe provided was not correct for the tasks at hand. Especially when removing boards from the line. Think blisters all over your hands. And I was using the gloves they said would protect me. I think if they were open to make changes the place would be incredible to work for. Unfortunately based on how I was treated and the things I saw. I wouldn't put to much stock in them taking me seriously or implementing any changes. So for now I would recommend looking for work else where. 

If you're thinking that the benefits are worth working at Trex, they aren't. It's stressful, unfulfilling, and depressing. The work environment could not be more contaminated with potentially carcinogens. Training is minimal and you will be reemed if you slightly mess anything up, despite the aforementioned lack of training. You're left in there like a chicken with it's head cut off trying to figure out how to get your job done. 

Now, on to the benefits. Starting pay is somewhere around $17.00 per hour and you have the opportunity for skill block raises every six months upto process technician 4. You start off with seven payed vacation days, two of which are emergency days, and you get two additional days per year after your first two years of employment. Also, it's quite easy to spread your vacation days out due to the work schedule. The health benefits are relatively expensive, about $110 bi-weekly for the highest plan, except for dental and vision, which are pretty cheap. A 401k and contribution matching is provided, along with a stock option. 

Honestly, the pros just don't outweigh the cons. It's a terrible, dismal environment that will depress you more and more every day. If you do plan on working there, I recommend making it a temporary stepping stone to something greater.

Been with the company a long time. Every year they do different things with vacations, sick time, and the times we can be excused for being late ext. And it gets old they do their best to force people to come in no matter what even when roads are closed due to weather its your fault you didnt make it to work. And you will be punished. Alot of issues with bad employees not being addressed and higher ups having a "not my problem " attitude about it. They have been pushing a "people first" propaganda lately but in the same breath are telling us we will no longer have sick days and will be punished for calling out sick. The company makes alot of money by using trash to fill in material voids so some people get that thanks giving turky in their deck boards and sometimes med waste was used. You can ask anyone in polly area all about it messy stuff. This company had alot of good years before the "only profits matter" company heads took over few years ago and fired everyone that disagreed with them. 
TLDR: you will work long hours and ok pay and lots of OT but your family will hardly see you and get use to having perks Givin and taken away just as fast while working with lazy people who just like to make your day poor.

At first this job was great but after a few months I was struggling to continue training to advance further the promotion was you take a test to advance but after your process tech level 2 test the level 3 test was all about line work when asked to be placed on the line to advance and get the knowledge the higher ups took this as a joke and continued to put us in saw and refused to have us run lines or change us around I understand to a point they need experienced people to run lines but would call you out the moment you messed up and you could be running a line for only a week and you would be thrown to the saw/wolves and outcasted I did not enjoy my time being with TREX, I was cussed out a number of times for something I was never trained for and when I talked to the higher ups about this nothing was done and I was on the back burner for being laid off, soon as work slowed down they fired/laid over half of us off my best advice to someone applying and working for TREX yes it’s a decent job and pays pretty good but if you do not know anyone higher up already or don’t get along with one higher up or a specialist you will be outcasted and forgot about. I highly recommend against working for this company 

Trex is a great company to work for. There are a lot of benefits and opportunities for growth. The work environment in the call center is amazing. Everyone is so nice and so helpful and works together as an actual team and is always helping each other out. Management is great as well. The calls can be heavy in the summertime but it’s not too bad as there’s usually a good amount of help as far as people taking calls. They were super flexible with my family, life and things going on outside of work. The building is really nice and there’s plenty of space at your desk and you also have privacy dividers so that you’re not interrupting another coworkers call and they are not interrupting yours. There’s also white noise to help with buffering background noise and you’re not rushed on calls you can take your time and make connections with customers. Lunch breaks are usually an hour and you get two 15 minute breaks. The only reason I’m not currently working there is because of things going on outside of work, but would love to go back eventually. 

At Trex it is purely profits over people. The management does not care about your or the product as long as pounds are pushed out the door. When problems are brought up to management, nothing is done until someone gets hurt. Bonuses are dangled in front of us and often taken away. The plant runs 24/7 no matter the weather or staffing. New hires and temps are treated extremely poorly. There is no training. The job itself is fine, the problem is dealing with the people here. Everyone is in their own little cliques and if you’re not apart of one, they will try to get you in trouble or fired. HR is completely useless, when you come to them with a problem they usually try to sweep it under the rug. This company only cares about profits and reputation.

The pay is highly competitive at $25.73 (THC friendly 6:30-7:00 2/2/3) but the health insurance is average. The job is highly labor intensive as well as environmentally challenging as you experience both extremes (oven temperatures from boards and freezing in winter/hot summer) daily. PPE, equipment, and tool quality as well as access to is mediocre. Dirty and smelly is the nature of the job. Outdated manufacturing and housekeeping equipment, machinery and processes can feel dangerous at times. Process management isn’t very professional or personable (lots of gossiping and toxic leadership styles) but HR ladies and upper plant management in my experience were the opposite. 
In short, it’s very hard work in a high turnover rate environment but the competitive pay make it a compelling company to try especially for locals. 

I worked with this company for 10 years. I worked in every department there was and advanced as far as I could go. Through the 10 years, I watched countless management come and go and it seems that the worst ones (in the eyes of the employees) are the ones that stuck around. It used to be a joy to work here. It used to be a place where everyone helped each other out, but it quickly turned into a "kill your competition" type of environment. Management pitted employees against each other to advance themselves. No one trusts the HR manager (and for good reasoning) and the rest of the management can only be trusted on the best of days. The company itself is great to work for and they have great benefits with great pay. If you can stay out of the "playing favorites" politics, you will be fine. I'm not that type of person to take that from someone. I left on my own accord.
