WELLS

Learned a lot of helpful new skills & there was a sense of camaraderie there. Good benefits & a decent wage + paid weekly. Schedule Mon- Thursday 6am-430pm (unpaid lunch). Although 90% of my shifts would go to 530-6pm, (staying late wasn’t mandatory so I always left “early” & 3-4guys would stay late to finish the slabs & tarp it. The work was hard but tolerable, you’ll spend most of your day kneeled down or bent over if your on the flat form. Other forms were longer in length & much taller so most of the work on those were done standing. The conditions were pretty rough in the summer. there isn’t good ventilation so your breathing in all sorts of crete dust & particulates from cutting rebar out of concrete etc. 

 Management was 50/50 depending on the day, a lot them would just stand around & watch you work, made being there kinda of dreadful like your just on display. The training was non exist so it was difficult to find things you know how to do to keep yourself busy while management kept close watch. Only takes a few months the learn the flow of work & understand everything if your diligent about asking questions. They really should implement a training program to get new hires up to speed sooner. What I learned in 1 month could have been trained in a matter of days. Overall had a decent experience & learned a ton of new skills. Management needs some improvement. 

I report to the office by 7:30am (option to work remote if needed/able depending on schedule and tasks) and attend meetings, respond to emails, perform tasks assign by my manager and work to be a better APM and future PM.
I have learned about the precast industry, what WELLS provides and about the company, along with the tasks associated with being an APM and working to be a PM in the near future.
Management supports me in my daily and future tasks & goals.
I enjoy the workplace culture at WELLS. Everyone has been very welcoming and supportive.
The hardest part of the job is trying to "catch-up" due to my lack of experience in the precast industry. I am working ton increase my knowledge in all things precast and associated fields that pertain to my role and future role.
The most enjoyable part of the job has been learning so many new things, being involved in some exciting projects, and being part of a great team/company. I am really looking forward to the future and that makes me work harder to be the best APM I can be. 

My daily responsibilities include coordinating information b/t contractors, engineering, plant operations, erectors, subs, and the project management team. Coming from a field role as a site superintendent, I am continuously learning how to balance my field experience with best practices required in a PM role. Strong time management is critical, as successfully planning each day is a key to staying on top of multiple projects. The team culture is very supportive, with everyone willing to help. The most challenging part of the role is managing priorities across multiple projects, but when done effectively day by day, it leads to success. Compared to my previous role, the improved work-life balance as Wells has been one of the biggest positives. 

In my time with Wells, I have been able to work with multiple production plants across the lower states to assist with staffing needs. I have had the opportunity to really dive in and learn about the Precast Industry. Wells believes in growth opportunities and continuous learning. I have been very fortunate to have a great leadership team that supports my development and encourages collaboration across departments. Their guidance has allowed me to expand my skill set, take on new challenges, and contribute meaningfully to our staffing strategies. Being part of an organization that values innovation, teamwork, and professional growth has made my experience at Wells both rewarding and inspiring.

What is the best part of working at the company?
There was no upside, early mornings, long hours, constant threat of "pointing out" and being fired, and never knowing when you would be done for the day. I would highly recommend working somewhere else unless this is your only oppertunity.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Long hours and never knowing when you would be done for the day. Makes it hard to plan around family needs.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Everyone for themselves, especially upper management.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
5am to when ever. Constantly on the move placing rebar and other concrete needs. If you are a hardworker this place will make you want to quit as there are plenty of people that just sit around and do the bare minimum.

The guys working on the floor are either super nice or some of the rudest guys you've ever met. The training program may as well not exist at all, and the experienced people you should be asking are of no help at all. There is an unreal amount of trash talking and gossip, and straight up disrespect and bullying. The leadmen on the floor are cliquey and short tempered. The work itself is hard work but definitely tolerable, but paired with the air headed co-workers you will inevitably have, it can make this work awful. The benefits and compensation are fantastic though, if there's one thing worth toughing this place out for, it's the benefits.

The people you work directly with are nice and helpful. But Wells is a revolving door for a reason. They hire you as a temp and will not pay you benefits. They drum up random reasons to get rid of people so they do not have to hire you on. I enjoyed the work there but you don’t ever feel stable. The higher ups look down on you and make you feel like dirt. For the work that you do it’s not worth it. They do not have safety procedures in place unless they see fit. Very self centered company. If you bring up a safety issue it’s either ignored or drug out for weeks. There are so many other places that compensate better. Got the experience and moved on.

The atmosphere is friendly. There are lots of hard workers in the company and there is also plenty of production. Guys tear down set up and pour concrete T's and walls everyday. It requires knowledge of reading blueprints, handling various tools and tractors/ equipment to get the job done. If you are a new guy starting out, it is an excellent place to work and you can climb the ladder fast.

I put a lot of hard work and time. Moved up fast. Was stressful a lot of the times. The corporation changed so much. They starting kicking ppl out the door. I thought I would retire with the them but I was sure wrong about the ppl running it. Basically told no one to talk to me. Was very upset how they handled letting me go. Was extremely terrible and unprofessional. Specially for all the time I put in.

Wells allows me to be independent at my role, take care of my family, and respects boundaries professionally. I really enjoy the multiple layers loaded with company knowledge and experience. Each role is a very integrate part of the process and each leader is just as driven as the next to help provide direction. 
Great environment, co-workers are very accepting and supportive. Each day is inviting and allows the feeling of being part of the process.
