Better firms out there to work at...

Pros

Usually lots of work to go around which means lots of overtime pay. No micromanaging. Company provides all materials and protective clothing/equipment.

Cons

The company culture is divided into two groups. Those that are a PE and those that are not. If you are a PE it is a decent place to work for. If you are not, you will never get anywhere in this company, no matter what your skill level, experience, or education. Low starting pay across the board. Bonuses for hourly are a joke and benefits are mediocre at best. Employee owned company, by the upper level employees, of course. Safety is preached by management but when it comes down to it they want you to "just get the job done." Most of them have no idea what is going on with their projects and never step foot onto a construction site. Speak your mind or raise concerns and you will regret it!

Pros

Good People Safe Environment Laid Back Atmosphere

Cons

Lower Level Employees Paid Very Low Wages Raises Come From an Allotted Amount Of Money From Corporate Office. Company Judges As a Whole Not By Region. Some Managers Literally Do Nothing. Techs Can Be Laid Off Whenever Office Gets Slow. 70+ Hour Summers... Struggle To Get 30 In The Winter. Hard Work To Try And Provide For Family.

Pros

The stock plan seems to be really good and benefits seem to be ok. If you can get up into upper management you can have a real future here, I think.

Cons

Co-workers are not happy and always quitting, and the pay is horrible. Engineers are hired at $15.00 an hour. Upper management seems to busy putting out fires due to short staffing, and not focusing on the real problems, like hiring qualified staff, paying them accordingly and keeping them for the long term.
