junk windows

I just want to let people know that when I was an employee from jeld-wen windows, the wood I was made to use was rotting, sapped up, broke, wrong size and just plain old junk. Clad colors didn't match, they ALWAYS failed the water chamber testing they did. We were told, send it out anyway by the so-managers. If they didn't have parts, which was all the time, other workers in the plant would make those parts from scrap junk and still charge the same price to the customers. Then they would "ACT" shocked when the customer caught the junk product and then would come back and blame the workers who were told to make it and send it that way from the managers. This company is such a disgrace. Please invest your money in Anderson windows-absolutely sooooo much better of a product. Management just loves to flirt and have affairs with every stupid chick employeed there. Too bad they don't know how to manage a group of 10-20 people.

stress&drinking

I woke up sunday morning with a massive hangover.I just binged all night drinking a half a bottle of vodca.This is starting to become pretty common every weekend.The stress at Jeld Wen is getting to me.I feel like I'm under a microscope and management are looking for reasons to write up employees and fire them.I wish I could find a different job.

Jeld Wen was not at all a bad place to work by factory standards. Safety was taken seriously. Management could be a little unreasonable. The employees always knew where they were and what needed to be done as far as orders and even when it came to running out of work. It was our job to keep track. Management didn't always do it's job and rarely knew what had been done and what hadn't. The pay was decent, but when it came to 401k...I found jeld wen lacking. They never contributed to 401k like they said they would. Every penny in my 401k was put there by me and none other. It sounded good on paper, if they'd contributed like promised. After the layoff, and due to the fact that it's nearly impossible to find another job at the moment, I have to withdraw from my measley 401k just to get by.

Kolbe&Kolbe is just as crooked as Jeld Wen

Kolbe&Kolbe windows and doors just had a temporary layoff of 334 people.Did'nt they say that with the Hawkins Jeld Wen employees.I think these workers are terminated just like the Hawkins Jeld Wen employees.Eventually when we go into a depression the Hawkins plant will become a deserted building.It may get a spot on the life after people documentary on the history channel,just like the Husdon
automotive plant did in Detroit.
