Okay first job, but there's better out there - Lab Technician QUIKRETE Employee Review

Great pay and people to work with

None that I can think of

I can't think of any

Very old-school management style and, in my experience, lacks a strong values-driven culture. Speaking up or raising concerns was not always welcomed, and at times it felt like employees could be penalized for doing so. Management could be unprofessional, including yelling and dismissive communication. I also observed situations where women were not treated with the same level of respect or fairness. HR did not feel like a reliable resource for employees. It seemed to be involved mainly when management needed support with employee-related issues, rather than serving as a neutral function. There was also a lack of structure around performance reviews, career development, and merit-based salary increases. I would not recommend QK to someone looking for a healthy work environment, professional leadership, or clear growth opportunities.
