My husband spoke to someone in charge at the Iowa job and was told that checks were always on time, and that this gentleman had worked for Gilbert Construction for 5 years. As always, we realize there are two sides to a story, and every company gets griped about by either its employees or the subcontractors....depending on day of the week. So we are keeping the phone # in the event there is no work in our area. Everyone deserves the benefit of the doubt or at least the right to defend him/herself. By the way, my husband DID ask if this was just malicious gossip....whether it was or not no longer matters at this point. Only the people involved in the postings know what actually happened. Good luck to all in this industry at present and hope things get better soon for everyone. Thanx to those who responded.
> Jason it wasn't so long ago that you e-mailed me and asked for information and I did not hesitate in responding with that information.Even though I knew you worked For Tony Gilbert. But when Tony sends 14 crews to EL Reno,OK and they pay for rooms for 2 weeks,and the MSO doesn't even know why we are there because the MSO had already hired in crews ,and he told Tony this beforehand.We lost thousands of $$$$$$$$$ because of this. To this day Tony has never made this RIGHT.The men that showed up there also have children to feed and buy the things that need.What do you tell their children when you don't get paid or reimbursed for the loss?

> > Gossip is exactly what is being said about Tony. I am Jason Foster, I am the Operations Manager for Gilbert. I am sick and tired of every month answering to this crap. I have 3 children to feed. This gossip does nothing but damage my ability to do daily business. My pay is driven from production. And to tell my kids they can't have something because production is down due to gossip is getting old. We are a solid company, instead of making judgement of our company from former disgruntled subs, try calling us and we can give you references and names of current contacts so you can get the facts. We have alot of professional independant contractors in contractual agreements with our company that will set the record straight for you. They also have kids to feed and would like the gossip to go away. Please understand that Gilbert Communicaitons, and Tony Gilbert as a person will not hesitate to lawfully persue the people that continue to pass along the false rumors that are being circulated on this forum. Please call us and get crediable references and stop reading the crap from the last person we fired. Thank you and lets get back to being professionals. The people in the field working right now will be happy to tell you th at their checks are always on time, they always get paid, and we never overstate a project. We will bend over backwards to help people get past a bad situation they may have came from. I personally have seen Tony, pay car payments, house payments, lawyer bills, fines, gas money, hotels, tools, ladders, buy trucks for men, and constantly price shop markets for the best deal for all equipment his men use in the field everyday. This is a good man, that cares for his people. If he has a fault in business is making decisions with his heart. But make no mistake, Tony Gilbert is a professional business man. He is shrewd, agressive, and the best damn guy to have in your corner when it is time to call the cable company to the table. Ask the cable company. They hate to see him coming. He gets results, and protects his men in the field at all times.
> > > We saw things awhile back but wondered if it was gossip. Some things were positive, other negative....thanx for your response. Would appreciate any others also to make an educated decision.
