Von Tobel

for my position overtime is mandatory and you never know what time you will get off in the afternoon/ evening. it makes having kids in activities almost maddening. its nice to be outside and interact with happy customers, but dealing with the red tape and management can be a hassle. things change on a dime, and you never know ahead of time until its too late. also  very big lack of communication between sales and yard.
This company only cares about their bottom line. the could care less about the individual worker or their work life balance. They treat you like a dog and expect you to smile. Yearly raises are around 10 to 20 cents with no  room to advance in the company.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Very helpful management when you have an issue. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Management valued customers over employees no matter what. Corporate policies are very different in a bad way from anywhere I've ever worked. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Constantly moving and a lot of snippy co-workers. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Work for 4 hours without a break get a hour lunch and work for four more hours if you get your lunch halfway through the day sometimes that's not always possible in a retail environment.

* Open Mon.-Sat.  7-6  closed on Sunday which is nice to have that day for Family and Church.  
* I have developed my skills in sales and project management with VT,  learning to appreciate and even expect systems and organization. 
*Management changes often so it can be good or bad.  Most of the time it's in between.
* I have an amazing Specialist Sales group we enjoy working together and have developed a great team.
*The most difficult and enjoyable part of my job are the same thing, my clients.  I love to see their projects become complete, and then other times they can make my job twice as difficult.  

The only good thing about this job is that you work only days Mon-Fri and sometimes Sat. This place only cares about the money they make not what the hard working employee makes. Management is horrible, no communication or people skills. They only care about the people in sales, the hard working employees in the yard get treated like trash. They work you like a dog for very little compensation. If you want your hard work to be appreciated then dont work here.

Work a sales commission job here. The base pay with commission is not transparent to what your actual pay will be. Management is disconnected from customer needs and wants. Always in state of “changing process” but will  never get there. They thrive on hustle culture but there is no big paycheck waiting for you at the end. Much more jobs out there that pay more for a lot less stress. They use all paper , so if you’re looking for a tech savvy company, you can look away from this one. 

Low to no support. Won't invest in what really matters. Indecisive. No training. Outdated and inadequate systems, if you can even call it a "system". Management is checked out most of time. lots of lip service. Better off working for another company. I hear Schillings is a great place to work. They have state of art systems and are moving forward. Expanding and growing. All while Von tobel sits back and does nothing

Not a management that is forthcoming, was fired after 28 years in a supervisory position and given no coherent reason for my dismissal. Nothing was in my records in regards to disciplinary action in any way. Not  reputable people to work for


Overall friendly work environment. The company is very flexible and understanding to a fault if you need time off for almost any reason. Even if that means not having staffing available to handle business. Technology is pretty much non-existent.

This company has one of the worst workplace cultures that I have ever experienced. It is very “clicky” and gossipy. And if you stand up for yourself, you will be labeled the bully. Management lacks the ability to manage. Once you decide to move on with your career, the gossip will continue. Very disappointed that I ever gave this company any of my dedication and hard work. 

A typical day at work would usually include me building lumber loads for customers, loading and unloading trucks and helping customers get what they need. My yard boss was very difficult to work with and made work a poor environment and never let others speak their mind or present ideas.
