Pros

Competitive pay is only upside

Cons

Just weeks after being promised they were hardly affected by the SVBank crash, and had enough work to keep us all employed for 2 years of a recession, yesterday in Colorado they laid off any employee who had not yet been with the company for a year. After all the lies this year, majority of the employees who are left at the Denver location, no longer trust this employer. They lied and hired guys for a new Colorado Springs location that they never opened and then pulled our commute pay even though we'd be travelling further alot more now that there would be no Springs location. The only manager worth his salt was let go in the layoffs and now the guys are stuck with a manager who constantly lies and disseminates information to make himself look good. He does not communicate effectively with his crews and seems to always have an excuse or simply "doesn't remember" handing down orders. Never answers his phone for important calls for purchasing material even though he tells us to purchase the material, then doesn't pick up to pay for the material which causes us to take time off the job. Been paying for Dental and vision for a year and a half and still have not recueved any of my information to utilize these insurances.

Pros

Pay per hour isn’t bad and you just kind of walk around the store and no one from the company will really check up on you besides whoever else is scheduled with you

Cons

Such a disorganized company. The stores you get sent too is based on your address I had put a different home address for personal reasons and explained I actually lived somewhere else said they’d made accommodations, they lied and didn’t even though they could’ve. They change their standards whenever they want I got fired because of a requirement they changed mid employment, I was making the requirements that was told to me when I first got hired but after a month they decided to change it and let me go the same day because I “wasn’t meeting that requirement” when it literally was just made up. So many pointless meetings everyday where they just repeat the same stuff everyday. The only successful people at this position are people who constantly harass customers in the store and so many people would get banned from certain stores due to complaints but the company will not punish them or anything if anything they almost encourage this behavior. Do not work for this company they’re a scam. They say they offer a “rate reduction” program to homeowners but it isn’t, they just want to get people trapped in a long contract for years that they just keep raising prices. They are not an honest company. The hours are terrible it is mandatory that you work every weekend and they make it a huge deal if you try to take it out saying you can get written up for it.
