Pros

The company has a great vision for the future and does a good job sharing that with employees. The work environment is casual and very flexible. Great culture overall.

Cons

They have an odd expectation of all employees to put in a 45 hour work week and their pay scale isn't comparable to others in my role at least. There are a lot of gray areas around flexible hours and comp time and the benefits package could be improved considering what you expect of employees.

Pros

Steady work, not really many layoffs, they try to take care of their employees (free shirts, paid apprenticeship programs, bonuses), safety is number one at interstates. Good work / life balance A big company that is growing even larger

Cons

No longer want you to be an electrician, you pretty much just become a conduit runner and wire puller no matter what level you’re at. If you want to be challenged and learn to grow, instrumentation might be a better job to apply for at interstates. Mainly for the fact that you get to troubleshoot issues and learn to work through problems. Pay scale appears to be lower compared to other industrial companies in area. Lacks communication as far as where and when next job will be.
