Do you have any tips for others interviewing with this company?

"The industry has gone from caring family owned facilities to large greed induced beasts. Their greed is coming back to bite them by virtue of the amount of cases going cremation. Pre-need has only brought short term help to the bottom line and will ultimately hurt the industry without question.Be very weary about entering this industry at any level. Long term survival for most funeral homes is shaky at best due to cost of funerals and having to honor older pre-need contracts which go at need.It is very sad to see what has happened to the business and it is an industry-wide issue... not particular to one corporation.... fairly poor job security in the long run unless you enter the cremation side of it."

What don't you like about working at Stewart Enterprises?

"Way too top heavy in upper management... and too much nepotism in upper management. Corporate too concerned with making all facilities homogeneous without taking into account individual markets. Too concerned with everything but the front line. Unless you are upper management, you would do better money wise working for McDonald's with far less stress and pressure from management."

What suggestions do you have for management?

"Upper management needs to learn to back their employees. MiamI market especially, unless you enjoy working in a hat full of vipers."

"Not a communicative company."
