Pros

Professional environment with no micro-managing. The expectation is that you, the employee, are a professional and will get your work done. Many happy long time employees. Good benefits and pay as well.

Cons

The only cons are that regardless of position at CalPortland the work can be during weird hours due to the nature of the industry.

Pros

I can't say there is any pro to working here.

Cons

Too many jobs for one person to possibly do with one loader. Don't take care of the equipment.

Great Place to Work

Business Outlook

Pros

Family oriented atmosphere. Genuine concern for employees. Company bends over backwards for individual needs and unusual circumstances. People here no matter what their job really have a passion for this business and the customers and it shows. If you are willing to learn and work hard there will be opportunities for you. Or if you are happy being a driver you stay a driver.

Cons

Schedule can be really rough but it's the nature of the Ready Mix industry. Can be hard to make plans not knowing what time you will be working. If it's slow you may not get a lot of hours if you are new but if you can stick it out in the beginning it doesn't take that long to work your way up in seniority and work fairly steady hours. Sometimes more hours than you want!
