Pros

Lots of Travel and alot of places to visit Racking up of airline miles in personal credit card Good people to work around Pushing mental barriers Laid back environment

Cons

This industry is not for everyone. Please make sure you know what you are getting into before applying. Climbing towers is not a joke and also this company has no work life balance or sense of prior planning. You get paid the minimum as an engineer and expected to work around 60 hours ( including travel time) a week. It can be great if you like being on roads and getting dirty but it is not a typical engineering job .

Tower Engineering Professionals is not a typical engineering job, but we think that is what makes the company special. Our company is best for people who don't want to sit behind a desk all day, and who have a bit of an adventurous side. It is a great place to learn and grow.

Pros

People were fun to work alongside, if my compensation could have afforded even a moderate quality of life outside of work I would have happily spent my entire career there.

Cons

Current managers are given all the opportunity, truly an inverted pyramid situation. Presidents/CEO/VP's all very charismatic and enjoyable people. Using that charisma they tell you advancement will be available to you "soon" and no definition is ever given for pathways to advancement or respectable pay raises.

Pros

No dress code. It's a frat house--if that is your thing...

Cons

A senior supervisor there is an alcoholic, abusive person. You do NOT want to work for this person. Supremely unprofessional. Know that you will be expected to work more hours than you will be paid for. Don't make any mistakes or you will never be trusted again.

TEP certainly does not support having anyone like the person you described as an employee. Please contact us with more details if you feel comfortable so we can address this issue properly.
