The Brothers that just do Gutters are extremely excited to announce that we are the recipients of the Dutchess County Regional Chamber of Commerce 2016 Headliner Award, “Best Place to Work.” This award is particularly special to Ken and Ryan, because they, and The Brothers that just do Gutters, were nominated for it by the people who work for them. Ken and Ryan wholeheartedly believe in the importance of treating their employees with respect, and showing appreciation for their team, as well as creating an extremely positive company culture.
The Chamber’s “Best Place to Work” Headliner Award is presented to a company that “demonstrates how they value their employees through their daily relationships and not by a statement in their employee handbook or benefits outline.” The criteria for determining if this company does in fact value their employees is based on categories like trusting the employees; treating them with respect; rewarding them with fair wages; communicating with them on a regular and consistent basis; building pride in the workplace, etc. The nominations for this award are only counted if they are coming from employees. Here is some of what our employees had to say about working at The Brothers that just do Gutters:

Whether it is a call from school that they are sick, or a request for time off to follow them to All Stars games, the answer is always ‘go, family comes first we’ll handle the office.’ From the owners on down, everyone is willing to help however they can.” – Karen Cargain (Contact Center Representative)
