STONE TILE INTERNATIONAL

This company preaches about the company culture and how they consider you as "family". What you soon realize, is that all the "good" positions are taken literally from their family relatives and there is very little opportunity to develop and grow within the company. They try their best to change the company morale but fail each time because they do not listen to reason or logic. (They work backwards, instead of giving increases of wages based on overall working habits, they give you a 15 cent raise and expect you to be satisfied).  They have their own standards of things and if you speak up, you'll inevitably get fired or dismissed for speaking your rights as a human being. They segregate people immediately in their dumb waste of time excursions that try too hard, just to show the average minimum wage employee that they are in fact a wealthy family. They have certain managers that have no certifications/diplomas or even common people skills or able to communicate effectively. This job is essentially a dog eat dog environment, there is very little praise for your efforts or a good days work (if any). If constant mistakes occur they'll blame the next person and never admit to their own failures. If you work as a laborer, expect to be not treated fairly (work like a slave and sweat like one too). They'll pull you away from your designated lunch time to complete an order for customers/contractors. If you work in the sample department, expect to work like a dog as well. Not only to you need to learn product knowledge of the material but you need to replenish the room when low and if none, instead of ordering large quantities, the manager forces you to order just the bare minimum (which shouldn't be especially when the product needed is extremely popular). You will have to work incredibly well in the sample room with your time management skills and work extremely well when sales reps are up to your neck waiting on their sample requisition's to be completed and put into their vehicles for presentations/projects/meetings/seminars. This is not a stress-free environment, there might be moments to slack off sometimes but the majority of the time, you'll be running around wishing you had an extra set of hands to help you out (they currently are short staffed but the amount of work needs at least a team of 8 co-workers in the sample department and there is only 4). Also, the owners occasionally walk around the warehouse and "try" to communicate with co-workers and attempt to relate to your circumstances, even though the whole corporate/management team are a bunch of two faced liars. They only truly care about themselves and their paychecks and poor fashion sense in the corporate world.

Upper management with no real training

Very caustic didn’t realize how bad it was until I left

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Constantly solving problems and trying to sell overpriced goods

some days would be super busy and others would not be as busy but if was always enough to make the time fly. I learned how to drive a forklift and keep my work in order. Management is amazing, down to earth and willing to help you succeed in your field of work. Hardest part of the job is making the drive out to work for the pay rate that i am paid. The most enjoyable part of the job has to be that everyone is like family and you feel that in the workplace.

During my time working at Stone Tile, I learned a vast amount of information about the Tile & construction industry and servicing the architectural and design community.

I was also fortunate to work in a beautiful show room as well as provide products to clients that are high-quality and exclusively sold through the company.

Fair compensation for sales  up to 4% plus category  bonuses 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
High pressure sales environment  

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
A lot of behind your back discussion and getting thrown under a bus often

Family operated, a lot of nepotism. Owner's son does not know how to operate the business - no professional experience and very spoiled approach.  Good for experience, then move on.

Unless you are the boss pet.... you are not really appreciated nor respected  
Co-workers and management that are supposed to help you advance are too busy stabbing you in the back  
Unfortunately the owner is unaware this is occurring.  The management staff are bullies.

Productive and nice workplace, the most enjoyable part of the job. co-workers are very nice and helpful. I am very glad that I have the opportunity to perform in my day to day work with knowledge and skills.

Fair Pay for Fair work I guess, normal job, worked in the warehouse on contract for a few months. I got a better paying job, but they were about to renew my contract regardless.

Awesome workplace. Tons of fun! Good use of technology and a lot of team building. The company really rewards the crews that go above and beyond on white glove deliveries.
