can be a challenge, but I like that it’s some- thing different every day,” he says. April Jackson also moved up at GCC to be- come the sales coordinator. “I had worked in construction since I was 18, but I knew nothing about concrete when I was hired,” she recalls. After three years in customer service, she was promoted to her current role, where she works with the sales staff to prepare job bids and handles billing. She says what sets GCC apart from the competi- tion are it’s people. “I love the people I work with because they strive every day to do the best for the customer,” Jackson says. Driver Santos Mejia agrees. He joined GCC more than three years ago after hearing about the company from a friend. Drivers at GCC must be at least 21 years old, have a commercial driver’s license and some experience. Mejia delivers ready-mix concrete to about five jobs a day. “It can be a lot of work, but this is a good place to work,” he says. “People here like to help each other out.” Mejia says he sees a future at GCC. “I’d like to stay here because there are opportunities to move up.” GCC believes in helping build your career. “We have a program called GCC Uni- versity that will be available to all our employees,” explains Maria Salas, the human resources generalist for Northwest Arkansas. “It offers on-the-job training to improve your people and communication skills and help you move up to superviso- ry roles.” Salas says GCC treats its team members like family. “This company is different, there’s a human touch. We promote work/life bal- ance because GCC genuinely cares about you as a person,” she says. That care extends to helping others. GCC believes in giving back whenever it can by donating goods and services to projects that help our community. To be hired at GCC, the company looks to see if you share its values of safety, service, integrity, team work, innovation and excellence.
