CEMEX USA reviews

My direct manager was very secretive about strategies and company direction, although I'm not sure whether that was because of his lack of knowledge or his refusal to inform those that he supervised. Also, because of the size of the company, they are willing to hold prices steady during down economic times (or even raise them as they recently did). This makes it very difficult for salespeople to prosper. The company would rather save their material for later profits than lower the price to add sales and save jobs. Customers are well aware of the situation and often wonder aloud what the company strategy could possibly be. There is a general lack of camraderie and a sense of distrust within the regional offices, partially due to competitiveness and secrecy. The company has recently laid off over 1000 employees across the country due to strategical decisions during this economic downturn.

Some managers do not know how to manage people. More worried about the bottom line dollar of one part of the company when a lateral part is overlooked and no changes were made. I was overlooked for a few of the limited positions that opened due to having a child or being a man. At the same time that the company did not deny technology they wasted money on it at the same time by putting into place technology that they did not need to have in place.
