Pros

Pay is good for the area

Cons

Safety is a joke they talk a big game but if they are going to lose production or if it costs money to make something safe then they would rather risk your life than do it right. Same thing for the environment if it cost money just lie about it don't fix it. The only way to move up in the company is to be a yes man, hard work knowledge and experience mean nothing here. And now we have covid -19 the plant is still running and all us hourly guys are expected to show up for work every day and risk getting exposed and exposing our family's while all the managers sit in the safety of their homes and tell us we have to support our customers and sales. Bottom line is this company does not care about the health and safety of its employees or the environment they just care about MONEY.

Thank you for your review. Drake Cement and Materials puts health and safety first and strives to create an employee experience founded on safety, respect, excellence, and value and we set a high standard for Health and Safety. Because of the pandemic crisis we closely follow the recommendation from federal and state authorities (CDC, Gov. Ducey Executive Order), and we have implemented them on time, just to mention a few of them restricting travel, promoting hygienic behaviors, enhancing cleaning procedures at all locations, holding virtual meetings, and working from home when it’s possible, permanent communication and implementation of the legislation related to the paid sick leave (FFCRA), to mention some of them. We are operating and will continue to operate if the safety and health conditions of our employees are not at risk. Our duty as a company is also to preserve the jobs of our employees and therefore the well-being of their families and the community, to the extent that health and safety conditions allow, according to the authorities' recommendations. Your review is very concerning to us, we invite you to talk with us and be part of the solution. E-mail at aloven@drakeus.com to set up a meeting. Please let me know your thoughts. Best regards, HR Team.
