Wausau Tile

Wausau Tile has every opportunity to exceed greatness. As with every company, there are exceptional LEADERS who set the marks high for the others and I wouldn't be here today without those leaders. At the same time, there are people in management and or leadership roles who need to work on their leadership skills. They need to listen to their employees and understand where they are coming from. Communication is critical. Again, some leaders are superior in their role, but then there are some who could take a lessen or two. More Managers need to take an active role in the Plant to make their teams feel important, not enough of this is done.

Working in a retail flooring store was a huge learning experience for me, as I went from selling dresses to flooring.  I worked very hard to learn all of the products, and how to correctly measure for where the product was going to be used.  i sold various kinds of flooring along with tile, and concrete patio products.   The hardest part about the job was that it could sometimes be very physical, as these items that were sold were very heavy.  The most enjoyable part was being able to help the customer with a new project, or remodeling.  Assisting with picking out colors, what styles, and making sure they were happy with their choices.

Wausau tile has good work life balance some of the management is excellent & some are absolutely horrible & that's all I can say about that they don't train people right & they don't watch what's going out the door poor quality workmanship goes out the door on the rubber presses & the garbage cans & covers they make are of very low quality they don't have any quality control & the company makes little profit the pros are decent pay & excellent benefits

My job at times required overtime and I had no problem, it gave me confidence that I would not be overwhelmed the following day to meet deadlines for month-end reporting. Being a self starter allowed me to improve on past practices to streamline  some of the work utilizing Microsoft Office. A steady workflow made the day go by fast. I was not one to chit chat but held a good working relationship with coworkers with regard to work responsibilities. I am an organized, hard working, responsible person.

I worked there during our last recession.  My raises stopped due to it and in my building you worked long hours with out breaks.  You tend to eat your lunch as you worked and once in awhile got to sit down.  Job wasn't too hard most the time but expect high temps during the summer as you work next to a kiln and tile grinding machine and epoxy heaters.  I'm still in contact with some of the guys I worked with and are still there and enjoy it.

keep throwing more on your work load without proper training or tools.  Apparently think I can do it all but don't inforce other employees to follow guidelines they make which makes most my job impossible to do accurately.  They rush into things with out figuring out problems first which just causes more of a mess.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Do not apply to work here.  Too much work too little pay.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
There is no one there who has any knowledge of anything. Truly disappointing. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Health and safety always at risk.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Complete chaos.  Do not work here. Apply somewhere else.

I enjoyed working here and made some friends but did the same exact thing every single day. There was nothing new. There was a few days where I was sick and they held it against me and fired me because of it while other workers there were also sick and were out but didn't get anything against them. They didn't give me a "warning" or anything. The people there made you uncomfortable especially if you are a girl. The only really great thing was the pay.

The 3rd shift crew does twice the work of the other 2 shifts with a fraction of the amount of guys. The supervisor on 3rd only keeps the best workers. Every 3rd shift employee there is an all star. The guys that don't "make the team" get sent to 1st or 2nd shift. The 3rd shift supervisor has been with WT for nearly 40 years and is number 1 in seniority.

Still working here for the past 10+ years.  Very little movement up and down the ladder if you catch my drift.  Consistent raises, but also consistent loss of bonuses and benefits.  I can say this place has sucked the life out of me as I look for a new employer.
