I know we gotta make money while the sun is shinning, but let folks use vacation.

Pros
Reputable company that cares about their customers and tries to do the right thing
Cons
Challenging location, changing workforce, customer needs / expectations

Pros
The atmosphere here is great. I haven't been able to find another company that truly cares for each of its employees the way that Gregory Poole does. The management is also easy to work with, and your boss always wants you to do your best and be your best. The people that work here are some of the best coworkers that you can have. It truly is like one big family, and you will love coming to work every day.
Cons
The biggest cons here is the lack of pay and the lack of innovation. It is known company-wide, even by recruiters, that you will make less here than somewhere else. This also leads to the lack of innovation and outside influence on the company culture, which is just as big of a con as pay is.

Pros
Education, Opportunity, Teamwork, Management, Pay
Cons
Can be unorganized at times.

I'm a Hotshot truck driver and I came by to pick up cat steer skid to California and Gray Coltrain as a supervisor of rental and sales department did outstanding customer service job plus he showed amazing people skills, I was impressed by his professionalism thank you Gray, God bless your heart!

Pros
They take care of you if you need time off for family reasons. You can work remotely if your job permits that. If you need extra time off for lunch no problems, come in late because of appointments, usually no problems. It's very family oriented and ran by the 3rd generation now.
Cons
Sometimes the parking can be something else because there' s limited space & they hold training classes there 1 week a month. Then the state fair comes there every year so usually you don't leave during the day because you will loose your parking spot then!!

Best place to get cat equipment parts

leadership needs to learn about accepting responsibility and engaging their workers more

Pros
Family company-style activities and benefits. Working here was a positive experience. Learning from others and team organization were the pros. Good people.

Economic downturn created seemingly constant change within the company. Changes always seemed around the corner as far as personnel swaps. Down economy equals less machines.

Third generation family ownership has kept salaries a bit low and limited top end earnings. Upward mobility is somewhat limited as it is a relatively flat organizational structure.
Advice to Management
Do not change salesforce compensation plans every year making it difficult to repeat previous earnings. Motivate employees with incentives.
