Riley workers say:
“Work hard sacrifice your life - No time for family. Come in early leave late everyday. Pay is good. No paid holidays which are given in other companies have to earn Christmas!
Unsafe equipment forced to take out and risk DOT violation or go home with no pay. Breaking hard material every night. A lot of diesel and fumes that will cause cancer… They only care about filling holes. 30 days to request a day off. Everyone gossips and knows your business. That includes your direct boss. If money is everything and you don’t have a family or a life and love to be treated like your nothing This jobs for you ( this review is for Wrentham department only) same day paving! - Ex Riley Driver/ Worker on indeed
“Hostile Work Environment - They will tell you all the benefits, all the best things about the company. It’s all a scam” -Ex Riley Worker on indeed
“Great stepping stone for a new Cdl driver benefits suck the pay is ok your a laborer as well as a driver but there’s room to grow if ya willing to wait 5 years being mistreated is a possibility” Ex Riley Driver/ Worker on indeed
“Poor management and old beat up equipment
Safety is put last
Every manager has a different answer on how to do something and they are incorrect to the actually policy
Things change 20 times prior of leaving the shop in the morning due to poor planning
No lunch breaks even though the system automatically takes it
Have to wait 6 months for a paid holiday
no good benefits
Your interview, you’ll be told nothing but false information” - Riley Employee on indeed
What’s It Like To Work Union?
