If you want to install fireplaces in northern Colorado then this is the place to be.   Job is physically demanding but pay is good.  No one here has been required to climb roofs that they feel are unsafe.  The appropriate gear is provided along with paid training to safely climb roofs.  All required training completed at the office or at job sites is paid.   Optional training for career advancement can be completed on your own time or paid when completed at the office.  The customers are high end and they expect the best.  If you have what it takes to deliver then there are opportunities for advancement.  

Western Fireplace truly cares for the whole staff including sales, warehouse, installers, service and more. As an installer the work is very challenging, demanding and yet fulfilling. Western does a good job of treating all departments including their installers as a crucial part Western's success. It's not easy work, but you will enjoy the install culture and team work. 

Due to a few bad supervisors the best part of most days was leaving work. For the majority of employees, no personal issues outside of work were more important than certain supervisors having the flexibility to make their life and work easier. There were and still are good people there who I still know. It seems like some of these issues have improved since my experience there.

 show up at 7 grab your rout ticket load your truck with the supplies you need for the day usually 4-6 jobs company truck is provided learned how to troubleshoot fireplaces and the best way to provide great customer service the management is excellent every day they provide you with knowledge of to expect for the next day.

Very heavy workload. Tons of micro management. GM is very hard to work for. No one stays. You will be top guy after 6 months. New guys show up with no tools (this is construction) training is all done on off time and you are not paid for it. If you hate roofs or aren’t that strong….skip it

Daily met with poor management and scheduling, you will learn how to install fireplaces to their specifications. The only enjoyable part of the job is you and your co workers know how unfavorable the conditions and pay are and get through your day together. The hardest part of the job is the stale management and leadership. Team building is not allowed as it is seen as “insurance policy risk”

If you don't have family ties, don't bother trying to climb the ladder very high. I don't really have more to say than that. I hope they do a better job of extending investigation into a different route as far as their management associates go. Other than that benefits are decent and the atmosphere for the most part is positive.

Management puts profit over safety. Always tell their employees that they will do whatever it takes to make a job safe but refuses to provide equipment like lifts or scaffolding on jobs. Weekly exams and online training are not mentioned in job description. Exams and online training must be done on your own time and not compensated for. 

Definitely don't go there expecting to make friends with your co-workers. One of them faked being sick during the Covid 19. No joke! The employee said he needed a break from work, so he used the virus as an excuse to get off work for over a week. That is the kind of people you will work with.

The company is established and professional.  They maintain high standards, are reliable, and care about both their employees and their customers. Great pay and benefits.
