November is usually the time of year when production begins to taper off as projects are wrapped up and there are fewer ones to start as the weather grows increasingly uncooperative. In a time when those hard decisions about manpower and the lack of work are being discussed and the ultimate question of “how can we keep our employees working” is laid on the table it is quite remarkable to be in a completely different situation from the normal winter-time construction scenario. For Upson Company’s scenario this year, despite winter looming just around the corner is that work keeps flowing. 

Upson Company is looking to hire twelve to sixteen people as soon as possible. In November, hiring twelve plus roofers is practically unheard of, but that is the fact of the matter for Upson Company. Production is booming and there is more work than crews. They are looking to hire four to five experienced roofers and eight to twelve apprentices/journeymen. Tell your family; tell your friends; tell strangers: work is to be had at Upson Company.

Working for Upson Company has many perks. For one Upson Company pays more than any other roofing company in the valley, even as a laborer. They believe if they are going to provide premier roofing service to the valley they need to provide premier wages to their employees. Not to mention your health insurance is covered 100%, and in a time when health insurance is required by good ‘ole Uncle Sam, who wouldn’t want their employer to foot the bill? True to their pride as a family company, there are also great plans for family health insurance, as well, with dental and vision coverage. 

But the benefit package doesn’t just stop at great pay and health insurance. Upson Company believes in sharing the wealth with annual profit sharing, plus a 401(k) match – up to a certain percent. Upson Company takes the stand that if you work for them they will help you retire and try to make your life the best it can with their benefits.

When you’re hired, what you can expect from Upson Company is on the job training, regularly scheduled reviews, and apprentice classes to improve your roofing skills. Upson Company believes in shaping the best workers by putting in the time and energy it takes to make a premier roofer. You’ll be expected to work hard, but you will be rewarded for all your hard work.

Rewards come in the form of annual Employee Appreciation events. This year Upson Company took their employees and a guest to Jack Pot for an overnight stay, complete with a golf option and a phenomenal dinner. Last year, employees and their families went to Lagoon. Every year Upson Company also plans a family Christmas party, where kids can visit with Santa and receive a gift and adults can partake in the merriment of the season. This year it’s at Big Al’s.
