Interstate Companies Reviews

Unfortunately, upper management is not engaged in helping to make others successful. They really only care about the bottom line number. I have never worked for a company that appears to be so financially strapped that on the first day of the month, the pressure is on to close WIP. Banks seem to run this company, not people. If you pole anyone here who is buying insurance through this company, the comments are the same....the insurance provides such minimal value to its employees that it shows the lack of concern about the wellbeing of their people. Expect to pay about a $1000 per month for a small family. Don't work here if you need good insurance as the deductibles are high, the cost is over double the price at other companies and management has admitted it needs to be improved. People from all over there organization seem to be overworked and underpaid (not a cliche-its really happening here), the turnover is tremendous here and so many good people have left this company because of the lack of support, pay, benefits (401K is actually worse than the insurance). I believe they do not put any cost on turnover, but it adds so much more work to those that stay, and then the moral continues to go down. HR, IT, Admin, Middle Management, technicians seem to turnover more than others. I don't understand how upper management doesn't step in and try to solve this problem, its the only way you are going to keep the customers you have. In the future, it will be critical to the success of this company to attract and retain great people to support the customers. I feel bad for those that actually worked for a company that they bought out as I don't believe they had a good plan to start and the cards seem to be starting to fall piece by piece. I would not want to be an employee for a company they buy next. I think it might be their strategy going forward as it may be the only way they can grow. Hopefully they will learn something from the downward spiral of the last company they bought in 2015. I feel that the people that left wanted to help Interstate to be successful, but upper management didn't seem to care enough to help ensure that the new employees were not alienated.

Since they broke the Union at the shop they will not give any wage increases. The company will not buy all the needed tooling to do the jobs correctly or safely. IE: we do not have any working floor jacks or a properly ventilated shop. This company is not about taking care of its employees its about taking care of management and their own pockets. They also push times to the point that if you do not achieve the allotted time they gave you you are written up. The times are based off of warranty time a rarely do they take real life look at the job to bid it correctly. On top of it most of us here at the shop are not getting our 40hrs. They bring you in just to send you home right away.
