Great amount of work available if you could handle the drive and overtime.
Carpenter (Former Employee), Marissa, IL – July 13, 2012
Pros: free lunch and rewards for safety recognition
Cons: always wondering if it was my last day threats.
tough getting out of the parking area with 4,000 drivers using two gates all getting off at the same time. Rumors fly around alot. Don't beleive everything you here. Coworkers were helpful. Finding the parts and building hangers from the beams down was the hardest part of the scaffold job. Taking those hangers down was a challenge as well. Receiving – more... the pay checks was the best. – less
