Element Materials Technology reviews

- The growth has accelerated past the capability of a lot of senior management's competence - Private Equity ownership is not bad, but not inherently interested in the long term; Finance driven decisions conflict with goals set forth by other legs of corporate leadership (HR, Operations)

Lied to about per diem. The per diem will not cover lodging. They say you can get home but they are so short handed that works out to once a quarter if you are lucky and there is coverage. Pay is lower than the industry standard. Management will cuss you and berate you if you ask any questions about missing pay. Oh yeah, they will "accidentally" forget to enter hours or release your per diem. They have a secondary per diem option where they say they pay for lodging. If you take it you WILL be placed in the cheapest place they can find no matter how unsafe or disgusting. Often times up to an hour away from the job site and travel time is not paid. If they still feel that lodging costs are too high they will switch you to a $50 per day per diem for food AND lodging and tell you to figure it out. They say overtime is available, when they should say mandatory. Expect 70-80 hours on 7 day weeks for months at a time. They do NOT offer raises after 90 or even 120 days as promised. Turn over is extremely high. Abut 1 out of 10 hires makes 90 days. Career advancement does not exist. If you ask every manager will give you a reason why it is not under their scope of responsibility. Find a local company and work for them. This job is for single men who have no expenses to care for at home!!!!
