Yellowhouse Machinery Co.

To put it lightly, and in attempt of fairness, this place has great benefits, the insurance and the starting pay is absolutely better than most. When you start, they really drive the point home that this is a family-centered place, and that they’re still independently owned/operated by one family. They may even feign friendliness with you in an attempt to coerce you into doing more than is assigned. Be warned, this place is not a good place to work if you aren’t management. They change job descriptions to get you to do more, they monitor your every move to penalize you, and if they catch it on camera, they will use it to humiliate you in front of your colleagues. Few employees aren’t stretched razor thin. They promise $X after 90 days, they will give you nothing and expect more out of you. Several of the folks employed here have waited ten or more years for a raise, at least one man retired with only ever getting fifty-cents tacked on.  The branch managers are mostly immature and do not understand humanity or kindness. Service departments vary from luxurious to austere. They don’t appreciate extra effort or good attitudes, as they never reward it, and if you aren’t accustomed to having everyone  except your actual boss telling you what to do, while still having to cater to their needs, this will not be the forever-job you’re wanting. They won’t train you and will demand you know everything. The coworkers outside of the office will be the only enjoyable part of your day, otherwise this place is a fairly poor place to work for a paycheck. Be also forewarned that they give a Bonus at the end of the year, but several people will be terminated just before they give it out. 

Ten hour days aren’t conducive to a good work/home balance.

The owner and upper management know you by first name.  Started out as a good place to work great hourly pay and benefits. Friday breakfast, 7.5 paid holidays, employee discount are just some of the perks of working there.  Pay raises not so much, placed more focus on the benefits and other aspects of what yellowhouse offers.  At the end of the day it’s all about pay. 
All departments work against each other not as a team.  It’s always someone else’s fault for job not getting done or lost in a sale.  Doesn’t believe in a general manager or branch manager over the dealership.  Too much power for one person to have.  They would rather micro manage and point fingers rather than helping to resolve this root cause of the issue.  


Work/life balance ok only if your hourly but not always  allowed if your salary. 

Yellowhouse truly feels like a family. Sometimes things feel a little dysfunctional between departments, but at the end of the day we all had each other's backs. Upper management was amazing. The man I worked for is one of the finest people, let alone managers, I have ever met. 
I can't speak enough about the culture. The "Yellowhouse Way" isn't just a phrase. This company lives it. They treat their employees and customers with immense value. Then benefits are world class. The support is amazing. If I had one gripe it would be the lions share of attention is given to sales and to the Texas locations. 

My day is filled with answering the phone, filing, daily deposit (when the other lady can't do it) keeping the parts guys in line and whole lot of laughter through out the day. I have learned more about construction then I ever thought possible. My co- workers are wonderful teachers and great jokers, they make life at work more fun then I could ever imagine. The hardest part of my job is nothing really for I like to talk to and get to know the customers. The most enjoyable part of my dad is coming to work for I know that the men I work will find some way to make it interesting.

Lack of communication between employees and supervisors. No respect or appreciation shown from management at any time other than cooking sub-par hamburgers once a month. If you decide to resign after years of service without taking time off, put in your two-week notice, work said notice to full extent, just to keep from bridges being burned, they will still label you “not rehire-able” and discourage other potential employers from hiring a well qualified individual.

Needs more technicians with general heavy equipment experience. overall a great place to work. Love the people and the environment here, we just need more experienced shop/field techs and parts counter people on staff. Super busy most of the time, stressful as a service manager most of the time in line with the busyness.
 Satisfying when it all comes together and our Parts/Sales/Service depts work together to get the customer back up and running.

Great shop, pretty outdated. The employees and upper management were fairly easy to deal with. A lot of education opportunities were there consistently. The pay is very low in the shop. The insurance program will wipe out the majority of your check if you have a family. If you can get around that or are retired this is a great place to work consistent hours and simply exist. As a young man or woman trying to “break out” at a shop I wouldn’t recommend it. 

I have been working at Yellowhouse Machinery full-time (Less than a year).


I was told when I accepted the job that I would be working around the Broken Bow area.  I injured myself and had to take a medical leave. The management at Broken Bow have been nothing but unhelpful. Once I recover, I'm going to look for another job as a field technician

There are different rules for different people. The rules are there only when they want to use them against an employee.  Safety is only a concern when it is convenient. If you speak up about safety, quality, or evaluation concerns, you place a target on your back. If you disagree with management, you're days are numbered. If you rock the boat, you will be swimming.
