Feedback and continuous improvement
Berry & Smith is one of the best companies I’ve worked for. They have a very family-oriented atmosphere. Everyone is extremely helpful and approachable, from upper management all the way to the bottom - they get you what you need when you need it. There’s nothing you can bring up that isn’t important to them. I highly recommend working for them if you have the opportunity.

This isn’t just a job, it’s my life. Knowing I can come here and feel like it’s my brother that runs the company and not just my boss…. it feels good. I’ve been to places I never thought I’d see and pull things I never thought I’d be able to pull. The opportunities I’ve been given to prove myself have really contributed to my personal growth and it’s been amazing. I highly recommend working for Berry and Smith. You can’t beat the environment here. They are professional and its about not only profit, but they genuinely care about serving people and making sure they’re happy.

Berry & Smith think highly of their employees and they believe in investing in us for the company to survive - and that’s why we have survived so long. That’s the beauty of this company. They are understanding, trusting, and have an open-door policy. Opinions are wanted here, not discouraged. They are a family to me. They do anything for us, and we do anything for them. It’s a good place to be. Family values are a true feeling here.

Berry & Smith is a great family-oriented company. They are wonderful people to work for and we get treated very well here. I recommend working here because we are a team, and all the staff are great to work with. They treat everyone fairly whether you’ve been here for decades, or you just started. We are all respected.

They are a very family-oriented company and take great care and have concern for all their employees. From the top to the bottom, they make you feel welcome. It is a pleasure working for them. Their concern for health, safety and well being is unmatched. They look after us and their general interest in taking care of their employees is very noticeable. It makes you feel good that you are a valued member of the team. Theres a lot of companies that push you to go, go, go, but Berry & Smith is not like that. They care about our wellbeing and see us as valuable people with lives outside our job. Everyone seems happy here and we enjoy being together.

Berry & Smith is great about helping their employees further their knowledgebase with training programs and encourage us to learn and grow. I’ve been provided a lot of opportunities here. From receptionist, to billing, to dispatch, to recruiting and retention. For as long as I’ve been here since 1986, it’s always been open door. Everyone is treated fairly, and we all feel like we are a part of the company.
