The Erosion Company

Overall the company operation is very volatile and unpredictable. The "training" I received was humorous at best. The work hours were terrible (had to be at the shop at 6 am til whenever you quit receiving phone calls at night or quit trying to plan out your next day and try to get a hold on your work load). There were days that I would work from 5 in the morning til 6 in the evening. I couldn't even spend time with my family because of the lack of direction and assistance my superiors gave however they were very quick to punish and reflect on whatever negatives you had at the moment. Erosion control work is very fast paced and frustrating and the upper management does nothing to help its area managers and always sides with the clients even if the sales managers are at fault. Do not work for this company if you can't handle things by yourself from the beginning because whatever is promised to you in the way of training and assistance will more than likely not happen unless things have changed since I quit.

Worked in sales for a short time. The sales manager and sales people stole every lead that you tried to get a foot in the door in under handed back stabbing fashion. Really a poorly managed company. Middle school environment. Employees showed up drunk/hung over to company sales meetings sleeping and it was common. Sales manager was only worried about what accounts he could steal from sales people and was the worst I have ever witnessed. High turnover. Sales Manager bragged about the 50 sales people that have failed in the last couple years. Their MO is hire as many as you can in sales and take their accounts and let them go... That's their sales business model!

Excellent Work/Life balance, there is room for advancement for those that are willing to work hard and help advance the company, excellent job security, excellent management/leadership in almost all areas (let's be honest, there are bad days and there are some managers that just rub you the wrong way sometimes, so this can't be 100% all the time), and the culture here is outstanding. I really enjoy all the people I work with and I get to work with almost all of them at some point on a monthly basis.

Every day is unique. The Erosion Company is very customer service driven and has become the leader in the industry in Georgia. On a daily basis, we feverishly strive to accommodate all of our customers' service needs. This is often challenging and always equally rewarding. Given the fast-paced and frequently chaotic nature of the construction industry, every day presents new challenges that we must overcome. Employees must often collaborate in creative ways to accomplish individual goals for the overall success of the company.

Worst company I've ever worked for. Male dominanted and one or two descent people. They pile on workloads and expect you to cover, train, and have knowledge of other departments when they themselves don't have that knowledge. No compensation for learning that department and managing it when the one person in it goes on vacation cause they over worked her to the point of quitting after 5 years. Christmas party your spouse is not invited to only employees. 

I learned how to operate a T-590 bobcat, run a crew of two or more men, and safely drive a new 3500 Chevy Silverado with a 24 foot flatbed hauling said bobcat. I’ve gained even more in sight on how things work in the construction field from the silt fence installation perspective.

Very catty environment if you’re working in the company’s offices. If you don’t go out of your way to impress all your new coworkers, they will basically ignore you. They are not very welcoming to newcomers at all. Very petty environment. It was like middle school all over again. Avoid at all costs.

The company in itself isn’t bad. I feel they have a lot of potential but have a management team that has been there for too long that does not have a clue how to move things forward into the future. I think, like any company that starts small and grows overnight, they simply don’t have the infrastructure for that. Manager rarely manage people and concentrate in the client, leaving a sense of employee dissatisfaction with their job.

early in at 6am and typically 3pm or 4pm out. 
read emails and reply to all.
research new bid opportunities.
continue estimating active projects including takeoffs, contacting vendors and/or subcontractors for RFQ's, completing estimate proposals.
finish a day with submitting as many proposals and questions to owners as possible without passing over bid deadlines.

A fast growing compony that pays well but demands a lot. Customers are demanding and shops work as a team to meet the customers needs. Good place to work but hours can be long but flexible.
