Wilbert Funeral Services

The environment you work in is extremely dangerous. Cement dust flows through the shop all day. Piles of Debris and Rebar everywhere. The building itself falling apart. PPE such as Hardhats and Masks are not provided. Workers end up having to buy their own equipment such as safety glasses and never get reimbursed. Basic things like First Aid Kits, Soap or cleaning supplies are rarely provided, and usually are payed for by workers.

Training is not provided so Workplace accidents are very common. Product gets broken everyday, and no one gets reprimanded for it. Finding workers sleeping, or randomly leaving for 30 mins at a time is common. If someone calls out, or gets removed from the company you will be expected to pick up their role, on the fly without training. Managers are non-existent only showing up a few times a month. A common thing from them is telling workers how easily replaceable they are, and that they are overpaid. Reporting people for violations does nothing, managers just don't care. Finished products come out awful, but still go out the door. Managers would rather give discounts then fix quality issues.

Lots of Favoritism. People that have the privilege of having 3 days off a week, while others work 6 or 7 days straight. The workers who do the most work, seem to get the least amount of reward. 

You will be payed the minimum amount to do the maximum amount of work. You could be working in the pouring rain or 3ft of snow with limited equipment. Instances of having to spend your own money are very common, and again you never get reimbursed.

The place is not worth your Back, your Sanity, or your Life.


What is the best part of working at the company?
Overall, Wilbert is a good place to work because the culture there is friendly. However, it seems that image matters way more to the company than their employees. When they say "Investing in our partners' success" they do not mean employee partners. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Employees are expected to carry heavy workloads. The company has grown by leaps and bounds; rather than hiring new partners to help with additional duties, the current employees are bogged down with unmanageable work loads. Which results in the inability to do one's job properly and thoroughly. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
The culture is friendly and inviting. However, there is definitely a hierarchy. The hourly employees have small, inadequate work spaces. While the executives have big, plush offices and their own bathrooms. Overall it's a good environment but that is due to the people not the office.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Great Learning Experience that enhanced my Skill Set 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Working with a two faced co-worker who watched tv from her phone and faced-timed her daughter for more than 1/2 the work shift and then told lies to get others in trouble.  Spoke ill of everyone at the company and told everyone’s personal and private business.  Made her own share of mistakes but ridiculed and made a mockery of other’s mistakes especially when they were not properly trained on mistakes made.  

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Stressful. Not free to enjoy the work peacefully and without gossip or attitude.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Was a day full of hearing other other’s personal business.

Everything is broken as far as equipment.  Fully expected to work six to seven days a week all weather. Will expect to set up in severe thunderstorms and also told to go when roads are closed due to blizzard conditions.  Pay is a joke, will never receive benefits promised. They offer vacation but only can use it april thru October and only of no other employees are gone. Hardly gets approved. Severely understaffed.  Good employees leave. They retain the useless ones. The equipment they provied is 40 plus years old. And if it breaks its your fault. A poorly managed company use uses up people and disposes of them when they are in convinced. A give us your time health and well being and get nothing in return company. 

New upper management is terrible! they have no clue what they're doing. Changes are made and then they fail quickly and they're abandoned. They bully and discourage collaboration and teamwork...

They want people who should say 'yes' to whatever senior managements says, regardless of what is right.

The company very outdated technology, systems, and process.

Finance department is overstaffed so we have a lot down time, boring at times. Good news is they pay well to get people to work in the funeral industry.

If you are passionate about the funeral death care industry this place is for you. Otherwise AVOID!


I went to work daily @ 6AM and worked until 2:30PM on the clock.  Many times I ran errors after work for no pay at all.  There was a lot of stress involved, not enough help in the warehouse or office.  It was a 1 person office with a lot of tasks.  I loved the challenge, but was never appreciated for the work I did.  I think the hardest part of the job was seeing employees who deserved better work for nothing.  There were no bonuses, no thank you's.  It was expected and morale was horrible.  Employees came and went on a regular basis.  We couldn't keep them long enough to be productive.  The best part of the job was the people.  I grew to love them and enjoyed time spent with them, and I loved accomplishing my work load even though most of the others did not.

Work day is very dependent on whether employee A actually comes to work, or if employee B is willing to go to their designated location, or employee C is willing to work with employee D. 
Certain employees get obvious favoritism.
Lack of communication between regional management and shop to shop. The "rules" change per employee and exceptions are made to those in the good ole boys club while other employees are given the unwanted or difficult jobs. An unspoken "seniority rule" is invoked when no other reason can be given- for ANY issue. In the unlikely case you have a complaint that falls within the company guidelines, the matter will get swept under the carpet and you'll most likely be terminated for unrelated reasons.

I worked for Wilbert’s for about 1 year and a couple months. It’s a solid 4.5/5. You learn a lot about people and their beliefs about the afterlife. I’ve buried infants to people above the age of 100. I’ve heard the life stories about the deceased and have pondered my own mortality. I’ve seen the good, bad, and the ugly. I’ve smelled dead bodies and have looked upon the face of those who killed themselves, was murdered, drowned, died in their sleep, etc. 
If you’re morbidly curious and have a respect for the deceased, this job is for you.

Wilbert Funeral Services is a dysfunctional little funeral company

I've worked at Wilbert for over a year and am dumbfounded daily by the impulsive behavior, reckless decision-making, and wasteful spending going on.

Wilbert is the smallest company I've worked for yet has a ridiculously top-heavy org structure.... still nobody is held accountable and it's always someone else's fault.

Senior management is incompetent of running a profitable company.

I'm happy to soon by parting ways with Wilbert. Just a heads up to those being recruiting.

I was treated very unpoorly at this job I went in and gave it my all everyday however there are people that have worked there for many many years that have gotten too comfortable in their position and therefore do very little if any work. I was supposed to get a raise for a whole month never did and when they offered the raise they took my overtime which cut my paychecks weekly by $200. This place is falling apart fast and not looking for anyone that actually wants to do something about it. I even reached out to corporate to no avail.
