The Armstrong Company

While working at Armstrong, the hours were never set. It could be a three hour workday or a sixteen hour workday depending on how many  jobs are set up. Some days they wouldn't even have work, but when they were busy they had no problem overworking you. A typical day at Armstrong you clock in, get the paperwork from the dispatch manager, load up the van/truck with packing material, drive to the customers home/business, greet the customer, unload the boxes out of the van and pack the customers belongings, once the job is done its back to the warehouse to clock out. Management was nice, there's a weekly  meeting where all employees and management discuss reviews and customer satisfaction.

The good:
New office space, kind coworkers, slowly evolving old school work policies, small company gives you some opportunities to make an impact. 

The bad:
Advancement at Armstrong is nonexistent unless you are hand-selected for a path, which means you receive zero raises (even inflationary) and zero promotional opportunities regardless of work performance and accomplishments. Opportunities for remote work and hybrid flexibility are nonexistent, and only hand-selected individuals get to enjoy this perk. Although steps have been made to improve benefits, they are still not up to the standards of a company of this size with confusing and expensive insurance and strange 401k policies. Old school blue collar culture. Favoritism runs rampant. 

What is the best part of working at the company?
Meet different people and never doing the same thing every day. Plus hands on . Keep me in shape

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Some time the way they talk to employees that out in the field working hard . Think about it if it wasn't for the movers there will not be a company. I think they lose though of that. Just my opinion. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Have to respect each other and not talk down on one another. The environment will be a hold lot better. Treat everyone as you would like to be treated. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
It's good for me because I give it 100 percent everyday and the customer is happy at the end of the job. A successful job

The management does not have any structured training.  Sent from person to person with no set structure and change on procedure for each person training you.  If you have not been with the company long they do not want to keep someone especially if they hire you in at a hirer rate than they wanted to pay. I was the last one hired and the first one let go when they had financial difficultly.  The management does not have a good structure.  Most employees are nice, but they also have job security, where new employees do not.

during a typical  day at work, one of my biggest task is to make sure my employees have everything they need to complete a days job out in the field. I learned to be self-motivated,  leadership/management skills and also how to be a strong and effective communicator. The hardest part of the job is when your employee don't show for work and didn't call to let you know. The most enjoyable part of the job is that we meet different people and go different places everyday. we have fun working with each other everyday.

assist executive customers with their relocation by keeping communication at all times, make direct contact with client keeping updated information put in system on a daily basis. 

communicate with drivers, and dispatch 
make daily communication with third party service seeking additional approval for additional performances

They hire everyone including those who should not be hired. Safety is completely disregarded and you will be lucky if the information on your paperwork actually matches what you are doing for the day and contains the correct contact information and addresses. 
Pre and post trip inspections are not enforced so mostly no one performs them. High stress environment with no regard for home and work life balance. They stretch people thin and take a huge chunk off of what contractors could make  for themselves.  

What is the best part of working at the company?
I get paid pretty good and it's layed back.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
It's pretty easy once you get used to it. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Sometimes long days and sometimes your hardly working it's up in the air.

Although I have only been here at ARC for a short year, everyone has been incredibly welcoming. I love everyone I work and have worked with. I have been able to apply knowledge from my previous career as an educator as well as learn many new skills. The hardest part of the job is the monetary compensation The m ost enjoyable aspect is the work environment.

The Armstrong company was a terrible place to work. The management team  was one sided  and lack empathy to there employees for better growth within the company.  Most employees that worked there felt like it was a black hole and place that  you weren't going anywhere business or personal, also the drug use  with workers was out of control  and sad to see. Overall this was bad place to be a part of.
