RJames Western Star

Awful place to work. Very poor management. Lots of drama & very toxic work environment. Company is very cheap to give you the right tools for the job. No training provided, No work procedures to follow. When something goes wrong, management will call and text you after working hours giving you grief. Due to lack of storage, it feels like working out of a shoe box. High employee turnover. Within a year and half, I've seen at least 20 people get hired and quit or get fired. Employees are undervalued even when you do more work than required. No room for advancement. No anual increases. They will lie in their job postings stating they offer quarterly bonuses which they will never pay out. Never worked a job where you go home and stress about going back because you don't know what your walking into. Instead of fixing issues they will just fire you or be forced to quit due to poor management. Overall, I give this company 0/10 Stars. You will have a brighter future working elsewhere. Stay away from this place if your seeking employment.

What is the best part of working at the company?
My tasks were perfect for the time in my working life in those years.
They were kind enough to let me work on day shift only.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Too many supervisors assigned to watch over me.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Semi-positive.
With some co-workers should not have been in that trade within the truck shop environment or they had problems in their personal life yet dragged their mood/issues to work.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Generally well suited to my interests and capabilities at the time.

They have the wrong people in key positions, the parts director is a puppet that does not know right from wrong. Sometimes you need to step out of the box to get things done and keep the customer happy. That will never happen here. Its too bad. They have good people working for them, just the wrong leaders. Too many brown nosers and unless you want to be one of those your time is limited.

High staff turnover.   Favoritism is insane.   I was cast aside because I didn't want to spend every lunch as a group.  Accounting department is very mean girl behavior.   Treated poorly even though I was completely capable of doing the job.   Controller is very micromanaging.   Has no problem putting you down.  Talking behind your back is a comen.
Owner of the company is the only good thing to come from my experience.   Very nice and down to earth.  I feel management isn't 100% honest when it come to keeping really good capable staff.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Stressful and very clicky a lot of side talking about other employees 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Kept to myself most of the time felt really out of place

The work is good overall, great team members and good camaraderie. 
They’re very flexible with time off when family matter occurs or other factors come into play which is huge for myself. 

Pay is okay, about average or slightly below. My only real complaint is they’re pretty resistant to change and it seems like keeping it “status quo” when there is areas for improvements 

Working at RJames Western Star has to be one of the worst experiences of my life. Toxic culture that starts from the top down with the owner Rob. No customer service except for big fleets and thats a stretch. Owner will berate you daily and your customers as well. Horrible place to work unless you like drama and toxic filled environment.

Great coworkers good management team it pays well and has good benefits. We work four 10 hour shifts which is nice. The company puts on lots of free events like Dawgs baseball games barbecues bowling Christmas party. 

Management is lazy. They just like to sit in their office and don't want to be bothered by anything. 
The owner has no sense of direction. One day one way and next day another way. Doesn't have any people skills,  only likes to yell at you. 
My fellow co-workers. They were awesome and it was a good team.
