Decent Place to Work

Truss designer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

As a truss designer, you get to learn a lot of different software for the entire truss design to fabrication process. You'll also get to see a lot of really neat architectural designs. You will also gain a lot of insight into the wood-frame construction industry.

Cons

Very demanding in terms of performing near perfection work - one mistake could cost the company a lot of money. Also, very production oriented; fast past and demanding in terms of getting drawings and engineering work turned around, especially during 'busy' season.

Not the worst place to work…

Truss and wall panel designer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Good people to work with. Safety focus. Decent vacation for a material supply company.

Cons

Raises are unlikely and unpredictable. Training is minimal and needs improvement. They will guilt you for asking for a raise and try to prohibit talk about individual pay with fellow employees.
