Pros

Element has just gone through a large acquisition and there will be lots of opportunity for internal growth for everyone that wants to step up. Contrary to popular belief, Element pays a fair wage for the experience and education that you need to get your foot in the door. The culture is improving year after year with more internal promotions and opportunities for education reimbursements. If you’re looking to work in a dynamic atmosphere and are willing to put your head down and work hard, you will be recognized and rewarded.

Cons

Element is very customer focused and tends to be lead by the demands of the customer that yells the loudest. There is a big focus on EBITA and on time delivery. This translates into a lot of pressure for the Technicians and managers to out-perform their previous numbers month after month. There needs to be more focus on training and development in the staff to create engagement. Element needs to keep investing in their people and the profits will fallow. A happy worker is a productive worker.

Pros

Good starting salary, interesting work, sometimes possible to earn a decent bonus. Some people who work there are very nice, some camaraderie.

Cons

Toxic team energy, poor and even toxic management, constantly changing management team and expectations, no long term strategy, no clear or attainable path to career advancement, no job specific training, high expectations, bonus structure changes often so once you earn good money it will go away, tend to overload existing employees instead of hiring enough people, “boys club” on some levels (lots of favoritism). My job basically got switched the minute I started to include way more responsibilities. Diversity initiatives, but in practice I felt there was still discrimination. Bit of a revolving door, did not seem to be much value placed on retention. Individual sites basically compete against each other, you could be doing well or have a good idea and they may still give the opportunity to someone else across the company. Overall didn’t seem like anyone (even my own team) really cared that I worked there.
