Employees feel trapped

Pros

Job security and esop. Very difficult to list anything else positive.

Cons

Training and management are a joke. There are no clear expectations for employees. If you do something good or challenging it goes completely unnoticed. Most employees don't care. Most people complain all day and truly are miserable. I believe most people feel trapped in their position and are afraid to look for work elsewhere. Little do they know regardless of their age, their skills will transfer. Most are underpaid. My advice is to leave this place. It's liberating!! Some take pride in being good at working here yet get nothing for it. It's really sad. Communication between departments and even in your own department is AWFUL. Honestly it feels like your constantly at war with someone at work and sometimes customers. Not a healthy environment. Upper management walk around with a chip on their shoulder. Even though everything I said above is 100% true Turtle will continue to grow and probably be bought out in a few years. It will grow because the process and product are in place. The company is strategically located through the area and are conveniently in place to service contractors. There are also some strong relationships in place with some major contractors that bring in large revenue. Mark my words this place will be bought out within the next 5-10'years and it will probably be the best thing to happen to everyone working there that is to scared to leave.

Take this company with a grain of salt

Pros

Solid benefits package, casual/laid back work environment, not overly difficult tasks at hand, generally good job security, most upper level management knows their mid to lower level employees by name or face. Turtle & Hughes is looking financially very strong with recent acquisitions. The ESOP package is a wonderful incentive as employees do not contribute any out of pocket.

Cons

Constrictive pay roll, most employees are grossly underpaid and very disgruntled. You can always hear the gossip about the employees talking about their meager wages (which I cannot blame), way too much nepotism as everyone is related or friends of someone of management. The average employee faces little to no job growth and opportunity as I've personally seen employees here with 20+ years under their belts that are in the same position collecting dust and being rewarded with insignificant raises. TONS of office drama and immaturity that runs rampant, especially at the Houston branch.

Working here is stressful and frustrating.

Pros

Co-workers are friendly and work well together as a team. Since it is a smaller company, you are able to get to know upper management a little.

Cons

Everybody is related to one another in some form or another. These are the people management recognizes and promote instead of the people who really break their backs for this company.
