      Pros

      Devoted to helping employees develop their skills through consistant training and mentoring. Management goes out of their way to help employees progress and move up within the company structure. In as big a company as this, it's great to see the owner make personal visits to all the locations and visit with employees, always giving meaningful advise on how to improve and become the best in the industry. This company is forward thinking and very customer service driven. It's nice to work for a company that will put the customer and employee first.

      Cons

      None that I can think of at this time.

      Thanks for the note! Yes, we like that Brad visits the branches and reviews results with the team members too! Thank you for the emphasis regarding providing a feeling of ownership. Sponsoring the freedom to have an entrepreneurial spirit is a benefit at Battery Systems that allows us to retain a small-company feel and responsiveness. The price: less procedure, fewer board meetings, more freedom to define your success. Not everyone likes this. There is nothing to hide behind for an entrepreneur. You must find a way to succeed that brings others along with you. So far, our history points to this working well. Keep up the awesome work! Best Regards, Todd Scott Director of HR

      Pros

      Battery Systems strives to make their employees better as a person and as a employee. Wellness, Health and Safety is a huge part in the company. Being treated fair, they care about you, and your family are a few of many reasons I work for Batt Sys. Management team is willing to help you and I enjoy coming into work everyday. I've been with Batt Sys going on 14 years.

      Cons

      It's tough to think of any downsides at Batt Sys. I feel if you work for someone and they have policies you have to follow and types of duties for your position. If you don't agree with the duties and policies then you need to find another job. Of course there's a few reasons to complain about; like the printer isn't printing or I didn't get a chance to finish this task because you get curve balls thrown at you throughout the day.

      Thank you for your insights! I am glad that you are benefiting from the WHS culture at Battery Systems. Having been with us for 13+ years, you have seen this grow into what it is today, and the commitment to continue to improve our outcomes personally and as a company. We want each team member to improve their current health, whatever that may be, whether that be overcoming an extra slice of pie, or giving in to distress over eustress because of a printer failing to print. :) Thanks for bringing up fairness too. Fairness is one of the attributes that our employees consistently rate our management team very high in. I am glad that you are finding this so. …Here’s to 13 more terrifically productive years! Best Regards, Todd Scott Director of HR

      Pros

      Great company. Always provided me everything I need to do my job safely. The people are great too. Hope to be with Battery Systems till I retire.

      Cons

      While starting wage was competitive, no raise since hired 3 years ago. PTO required to be used if available even if I wish to be unpaid when having a day off. Life requires some days off and this policy eats vacation time.

      Thanks for the note! I am glad that you are enjoying working with your team! I agree that the people are great (and I get to work with everyone when they are in their peaks and their valleys). Regarding wage, please give me a call, as I do not show anyone meeting your description in Sacramento. There are very few events that hold back an annual wage adjustment from taking place for our drivers. Also, regarding unpaid time off, mangers have discretion to allow unpaid Personal Leave for employees with special circumstances that do not meet the 20 other available leaves of absence (including PTO/ETO). Please give me a call on this and I would be happy to walk you (and your manager) through it. Best Regards, Todd Scott Director of HR
