Berkshire reviews

Berkshire puts their employees first. Great communication through the Covid-19 pandemic with video conference calls open to all employees to receive information and ask questions.

One of the common things you will hear about this organization is that it's "Like Family" and it really is. I firmly believe that the way your company treats you during times like Covid-19 and all the racial injustices currently in the forefront of the world; should show you if it's an ethical and strong company to work for. I can tell you that Berkshire has been nothing but supportive during the Covid-19 pandemic. They are consistently out-sourcing PPE for community & team members. They have and continued to be closed to the public until we get past Covid and they have been so supportive. We have pandemic PTO and continued communication via our Portal and upper management via Town Halls and e-mail communication. Additionally- they have decided to speak up versus stay silent during the #BlackLivesMatter movement. This speaks volumes. They realize that they have many different races working for them but they also realize that the movement is important and that they must be a part of the chain. There was an open forum in a town-hall meeting that was just such a special moment for our team members. Hearing upper management talk about how regardless of the riots - it's not the property damage that is important - it's making sure their people are safe and physically & mentally okay. There is a Diversity & Inclusion committee that I am a part of and I love seeing that it's getting highlighted; especially in today's climate. Finally - David Olney spoke at our 2020 national meeting as Covid-19 literally changed our lives as we were on our way home from this conference. What he said will forever resonate with me: "take care of yourself / then take care of your family / then take care of work". With that said - I just completed an acquisition with Berkshire and 2 weeks after take over David Olney called me on my cellphone to see how I was doing with Covid and the takeover and to congratulate me and wish me luck. I was floored! I also just had asset management message me to check-in on me and to make sure I was okay. I cannot begin to tell you the love and gratitude I have for this amazing organization. I am so proud to work for Berkshire and have found my forever home!!!
