Cons

They say to ask more questions When questions are asked they are not answered clearly and leave you guessing then you are punished for not knowing the answer.

Coffman Engineers Response

So sorry your experience lacked clarity. Also, your comments about mentorship and inclusion are troubling. This business of ours is an apprenticeship environment. Without mentorship, we can't perpetuate the company, because most of what people need to know is learned on the job. We wouldn't have survived for 44 years if we didn't mentor our team members. I'm definitely not saying that we are perfect at mentorship and can't improve. Same applies to leading with clarity. We are working on these and other items as we continuously improve Coffman. Part of those enhancements are being worked on by our Diversity and Inclusion committee. Sorry that our journey and your journey are no longer combined. I wish you all the best in your future endeavors. Sincerely, Dave Ruff - CEO

Coffman Engineers Response

Never get tired of hearing that we have a great company and that we know what we are doing ;) We have been working really hard to create a leadership team that is unified and focused. Not perfectly, but increasingly. Looks like we need to do some work to make sure your compensation is competitive. We would appreciate the opportunity to do so. Thanks for being on the Coffman team.
