Pros

The only Pro I can think of is pay and you make friends of coworkers I emphasize coworkers

Cons

This is the worst job I've ever had in my entire life they pay you so good that you will not leave but they use it against you to treat you like crap and a pack mule if they paid you any less nobody would work here I worked here for a very long time and when you first worked there you think the harder you work the better you'll move up it's not you could literally slack off or be the hardest worker and it won't make a difference there is no way to move up unless someone either dies or retires after 40 + years of working there and that's only if you are liked by the management which is not likely at all unless you're a jerk too. The bosses will give you a candy bar on Friday on your way out the door with them staring you down expecting you to come back even if you say hi to them they act like you're a nuisance and bugging them the management their needs all fired and they need to hire brand new fresh people all the management there were high school friends and are not qualified to even have the jobs there in the old HR that worked there didn't even have a college degree he was just there because they were high school friends he finally messed up bad enough that they fired him if you want to get paid a measly $19 an hour to get the crap beaten out of you and your mental state to be questioned because they deteriorate it every single day then by all means go work there at a high school job not a career also extremely unsafe they have a Safety Committee that doesn't get to do anything they only keep up on safety when OSHA comes to inspect the building other than that I'm shocked nobody has died there at least not in the time I was there no one did save yourself the trouble and never work at this place the management is very two-faced so I'm sure on this public website they will comment thanks so much for your feedback blah blah blah yet I've seen there other face and it is sure ugly

Thank you for taking the time to leave a response for Balkamp! Over 10 years is an amazing accomplishment and we thank you for your services! We are sorry you feel as though you weren't valued as an employee, we are who we are because of our employees. We will look into where the issue might be so employees do not feel as though management "act like you're a nuisance and bugging them." Please know we take pride in the solidarity of our teams and safety is and always will be the top priority for Balkamp. We are proud to say that safety awareness and prevention has not only improved over the years but have only received high scores on our audits along with low incident rates. We will however continue to evaluate different ways to keep our employees engaged in a safe and healthy work environment.

Pros

Management works hard on employee appreciation. They go out of their way to help everyone. They have special events monthly for their employees. The pay is great!

Cons

Not enough people that care or take pride in what they do. There are people that have been with Balkamp long enough that they refuse to change their ways to help improve the business as a whole.
