Growth opportunities availabile - Controls Engineer TGW Logistics Employee Review

The biggest reason I would join again is that the company is currently growing fast and there is lots of room for you to grow into whatever role and job type you want. If you are a recent grad most positions at this company would be ideal to get your foot in the door and become the kind of engineer you want. People at the company are friendly and helpful creating a relaxed work environment despite the overwhelming amount of things to do. Everybody is willing to step in and help at a moments notice. Management also is more in touch with what is actually happening than many places I have worked, which helps.

The pay is somewhat less than elsewhere in the industry, Depending on the position there may be lots of travel, which tends to wear people out after a few years.

Initial projects were engaging and provided the opportunity to build a strong portfolio. The department is small, and the environment was supportive for the first several months.

Was suddenly held to the same high-pressure timelines and expectations as a senior-level designer, with little room for a learning curve. The culture can shift quickly from supportive to hostile under pressure, especially when mistakes are made. There is a lack of structured mentorship for junior talent; feedback is often inconsistent. Communication from management can be misleading; verbal reassurances about job security and performance status are not always consistent with the formal actions that follow. The company uses formal HR processes like a Performance Improvement Plan (PIP) for interns, which is inappropriate for a learning role and creates an incredibly stressful environment. Valid concerns about workload and process can be dismissed and officially labeled as "poor attitude".
