Carmeuse Lime & Stone Employee Reviews

They have a pretty big plant at the Winchester location. The people are very friendly and it was a perfect place to learn during my Co-op. The location is in the outskirts, otherwise a great place to work.

Great until they no longer need you

HR Manager (Former Employee) - Georgia - October 27, 2023

Great company starting out. The HR team in PA puts a lot of time in the development of their people and to help with any issues that arrive. However, our portion was sold out and as soon as the buyout was getting close to being final it was as if none of us mattered.

Wanted to hire only local good ole boy

Applicant (Former Employee) - Battletown, KY - September 7, 2023

Interviewed there for a leadership position, not sure why I made it through a couple rounds of interviews before they more or less said well you have a 40 minute commute feom Indiana and we need someone "local" (this plant is in the middle of nowhere). Also they clearly said they needed to hire someone from that specific area of Kentucky because "the people here don't want someone from 'outside', the culture here is they only will respect and follow someone local that quote 'understands' them." Made it clear unless you were born, raised and lived your entire life in their community the employees and management did not want you there. So I accepted a higher paying position closer to home. I would not bother applying with this company

Pros

none

Cons

Good Old Boy Network hiring onnly

Great place to work

Utility (Current Employee) - Bettsville, OH - July 18, 2023

Love working here, it has its days sometimes where you are worked hard. Overall the production manager is probably the coolest you’ll ever meet and theres just some laid back funny people to make the night go by. The pay is excellent and if a day is needed off, things are usually took care of very well. This will also probably be the only company I work for that has grill out nights, has a food truck come out, ice cream and does a company trip or event every year. Highly recommend working here.

Worst management in 30 years

Barge Loader (Current Employee) - Maysville, KY - June 28, 2023

Bad company to work for . Very worst management they have ever had. This is the beginning of the end at Maysville Kentucky. Can't go by your schedule anymore because they will cut you every chance they get.

Pros

Still get paid

Cons

Wonder if will have a job next week

Fast paced enough to be busy. Slow paced enough you are not rushed.

Mine Electrician (11-14) Kiln Tech (Former Employee) - Maysville, KY - May 23, 2023

Lots and lots of forced OT

Can make a career of it

Manager (Current Employee) - Michigan - January 28, 2023

Any position pays well enough you can make a career out of it. They offer a lot of internal opportunities for promotion and training, and prefer to promote from within.

Decent paying job

Truck Driver Class A (Current Employee) - Chatsworth, GA - January 26, 2023

Decent paying job good benefits and great time off policy. Frustrating management and maintenance practices in production. Trucking usually gets hung up by production equipment failures.

Low mentality and education

Quality Control Technician (Former Employee) - Butler, KY - January 24, 2023

The company is driven by money and product and they seem to hire by nepotism or who you know. They only care about safety when it is required or in question.

Pros

Schedule

Cons

Safety

Poor management and false information

General Laborer (Former Employee) - Rogers City, MI - December 29, 2022

They claim to be all about family, but when it comes to your own family it doesn’t matter to them. Management was extremely poor as well. Scheduled to work overtime on weekends. If you have plans of taking vacation to visit with family that comes home or just to get away from work. Good luck trying to get it. The probationary period is ridiculous as well. If you refuse any overtime when it comes to you, it could potentially put your job at jeopardy. At least that’s what some supervisors/foremen stated. It was my dream job when I first started working there and then it turned into the worst nightmare ever. Absolutely no work life balance whatsoever. Like I stated previously about vacations might as well dedicate yourself to working there. Holidays, well you might as well plan on working them while management gets to enjoy them. Safety issues might as well fix them yourself. Because management turns a blind eye to them and is too focused on production instead of safety. Overall I didn’t enjoy working for this company.

Very solid company, good to work for.

Finance Manager (Current Employee) - Pittsburgh, PA - September 10, 2022

Management is good from the top down. Most departments are understaffed so the workload is high. Pay and benefits are strong. Good perks like work from home, vacation, etc. A lot of good people work there.

Hard work and long hrs.

Conveyor Mechanic (Current Employee) - Rogers City, MI - July 12, 2022

Lots of maintenance and clean up. 60+ hrs a week and swing shifts along with working weekends and holidays. Management is pretty good about explaining the tasks at hand and will help with any questions or problems we may come across, but sometimes short on getting the right tools for the job. Safety is always a priority and plenty of people willing to help with questions or jobs that need it. The hardest part of the job is just the long work weeks and weekends, and holidays we have to work. No holidays off, and with working weekends as well, I miss a lot of family functions and kids games due to the long hrs, but I can't blame the company fully just because we're undermanned, and they do hire a lot, but people just won't stay long, so it's up to the ones that have been there the longest to pick up the slack and that takes a toll on everyone. But I work with some of the best people around and that makes the job a lot better

Good place to work

Hydrated lime operator (Former Employee) - Strasburg, VA - July 27, 2021

Good Pay

Equipment Operator (Former Employee) - Clear Brook, VA - February 7, 2021

Was one of probably 20 Temp workers who were given the false hope of becoming a full time employee at the Clear Brook location. Worked long, hard months putting up with the rude Forman (plural) treating us like idiot temp workers who shouldn't be there. Granted some of us shouldn't have been there do to lack of being safety minded. Every time us temps would ask about becoming full time it was either "oh its coming, just be patient" or "I'll get back to you on that." We found out that we were only there while they downscaled the sister plant and transferred all the full timers to our location. Management slyly told us at a meeting neglecting to tell us temps that our jobs were in jeopardy until specifically asked about it. They only said it was a possibility and kept us in limbo for a good month and a half. Some advice for Carmuese; if you need contract workers with a non permanent contract length, hire contract workers who know the parameters of the contract.

Pros

Good Pay

Cons

Bait and Switch Company

The best group of co workers

Maintenance Technician (Former Employee) - Maysville, KY - December 23, 2020

Great place and a good group of people to work with. Long hours, good pay and benefits. A dangerous environment to work but the company overall fosters a safe workplace and culture.
