I would come in prior to my work shift to get myself ready for my day.  I started off with checking any emails that may have been received once the prior shift ended or through the night.  I'd take time to respond to the ones that I could answer quickly and without research.  If some emails needed additional information or a request to follow up, I did so.  I'd then start with projects that are sitting in my "IN" bin.  These projects needed to be checked for receipt of field items; such as daily inspection reports, progress and final photos, final inspection reports, specifications and etc.  If they had the final inspection reports and the items were complete, I'd make sure that the Warranty Dept. had a copy so that they could start processing.  I would also make sure all of the items received were in our e-Builder system.  If not, I'd scan the appropriate items.  If a particular project was complete, I'd process the closeout manuals and its duplicates and FedEx them to the Sales Representative to present to the Owner.  While doing this, I also archived files into the Iron Mountain system, placed orders for Office Max supplies, answered phone calls for either myself or executives, did various projects and assignments for the Vice President, processed expense reports for the superintendents/management, troubleshot Blackberry, iPhone and camera devices and etc.

My co-workers were wonderful, the department had moreso a family feel to it.  Alot of us had been working together for years, so it felt very comfortable.  The managers I had were the absolute best.  They had an open door policy in which I could feel comfortable enough to come right in and address any issues that I might have had.  The hardest part of the job was finding solutions for old problems.  For example, there might have been an issue with a project that happened in 1998 in which I would have to retrieve the project file, find out if the particular paperwork was inside of that file, if not coordinate with someone to get it completed.  The problems were, some of the people that were on that project back then no longer worked for the company and they may have been the only ones that knew of the issue.  A solution still needed to be found.  The most enjoyable part of my job was when Halloween came around.  Each floor would compete for the best dressed and best designed.  Children from an elementary school would come and trick or treat down the corridors in a safe environment.  The looks on their faces as they were dressed in their Halloween costumes as well as the screams of horror as they reached some floors (some were more scary then others).  I think it was more fun for the adults then the children.

Working at Tremco I learned to organize my work more efficiently.  I learned to set deadlines for projects or tasks as to manage my time more effectively.

Trainer will not train employees for success
They will tell you what to do without letting you perform the tasks
After about 30 days into training they will want you to sign off on your training
They will say "it's ok if you don't feel like you know how to do it yourself" we will help you! Only to get your sign off!
Then when your training period is complete..you will be placed on your own to perform tasks..you never had to do yourself! You always had help from trainer!
You signed off on your training and if you struggle..well hope you are one of the favorites or your job will be very hard to do and you can forget about that help they said you would have!
No Human Resources on site..they are miles away and difficult to reach! You are at the mercy of those who rule and they are just as difficult as it is to run a machine without proper training!

For the most part the job is easy, depending on what machine you're on and depending on the day. However, some practices are dangerous and when issues are brought to management, they go in 1 ear and out the other. 
The communication between shifts is terrible and there are days when you spend most of your shift fixing the problems from the 1 prior and you're expected to work harder to get your job done and the work from the shift prior.
The mandatory overtime is ridiculous and not conducive to a balanced lifestyle and is actually against the contract that is laid out by the union.
The benefits and pay are good because you're with the union. However, floor workers were denied bonuses well administration received their's.

Save yourself the stress.  Many jobs are advertised as full time but actually hired in part time so they can save $$ in benefits!  To advance career you look elsewhere because they would rather replace you then increase your salary significantly.  Business model is flawed and one day its going to catch up with this company. Like to preach business ethics to employees  but they are the biggest crooks of all! Management is as scared as field employees to speak up... not a great work culture they've built over the years. I currently still work for these guys,  but believe me I'm looking to get out.

Decent place to work for a while, they will tell you about raises that they have no intent of giving anyone, that you'll work near home, then send you 6 hours away from home for 2 weeks at a time if you are lucky, then send you hours away for months. You'll have a hotel and won't be able to do anything productive except explore towns after work. If you can put up with all that then it's not bad pay. They won't train you, but they'll tell you about getting you a tablet to become a lead, probably won't happen.

They have gone through many changes recently and place an umbrella of incentives out there...what affects the reps in FL is different than TX, different in OR or NM. but the initiatives and comp structure is based on it seemingly being the same in all markets. Recent changes in Management has proved they are very unguided in the management and fiscal conservancy but not the C-Suite. They also believe BDM's with zero field capabilities should make great managers but they are highly incapable and do not. At all. Go back to roofing, its what you do best. Overpriced, smug, good-ol-boys culture. They are a big company, very afraid to put more staff in place to handle work at todays pace of business. Beware, thats all.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Payday is the only thing I looked forward too supervisors aren’t dependable and they play favorites and you will get fired for having an opinion 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Losing your job for a mistake that others who have been there for years make 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Uncomfortable and a lot of finger pointing if something goes on

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Stressful and demanding a lot of weeks you only have one day off from mandatory overtime

a typical work day is getting all your order in and stacked together for the truck. I really learned a lot about Trimaco while I was there. The management was real supportive and didn't mind you asking questions if there was a problem. each employee had their own department to be responsible for. The hardest part of the job was keeping up with the next days orders and having them ready when the truck got there. The most enjoyable part of the job is getting all your orders ready and hearing your boss say job well done.

The hybrid schedule is great. There is no structured training program or step by step to follow. Management doesn’t like when you ask questions yet tells you to ask questions if you have them. Long term employees like management do not like to give up and reins over job duties. Management rarely acknowledges good work performance. Management will nitpick every detail of the work that you do even if you are getting the same outcome. If it’s not how they would complete the task, it is wrong- even if the outcome is correct. 

Work days are long and you determine how much you work or do not work.
Must be self driven.
Learn new things everyday about the low-slope roofing industry. 
Management has to much of an analytical thinking process. 
Workplace culture is at an all time low right now. Rep moral is low.
There are new internal hurdles everyday with this job. Corporate is finding more and more ways to do whats easiest and best for them while providing minimal support to the reps. 
Working with client and solving their problems is the most enjoyable part of this job.
