Accounting manager

CEO approval

Pros

Has potential but will never meet it with the current management team.

Cons

High school mentality. Good old boys network. Outdated management. They encourage backstabbing and negatively. This is just not a good place to work. Corporate in Glendora is a revolving door. Divisions may have decent local management which explains some of the good ratings here but overall this is not a place where you want to invest time in building a career. Management likes to appear "green" but read up on this place and learn for yourself how they dumped toxic substances on the ground and waterways because they are too cheap to dispose of properly. Allen Gamble is an idiot who has no class or professionalism.

Pros

Company has expanded by adding another cement plant. CEO has become Chairman of PCA.

Cons

Raises at the cement plant are 2% across the board for Salary employees. Bonus is going to be $50-100 before tax. No PCA or other educational classes for employees. No continued education, and they will not work with your schedule if you pay for classes. No Xmas party, no golf tournament, no perks.
