Business Outlook

Pros

Variety in work and get to work in lots of different areas decent with hours

Cons

Pay is not as good as some other firms set so it can go to PTO so no 1.5 pay

Coffman Engineers Response

I am trying to understand part of your list of cons. Looks like you were typing fast. Forgive me if I am not addressing your concerns. We pay our salaried employees overtime at 1.0x. If we are asking for hours, we pay for the hours. But 1.5x pay is reserved for hourly employees. Not sure about the PTO comparison. Would like to understand better. The "increase pay" advice, however, is crystal clear ;) Dave Ruff - CEO

Slightly lower pay at times

Coffman Engineers Response

The pros you listed describe the environment that we are aspiring to maintain and improve upon. Work, done right, should be additive to our lives. We spend 1/3 of our waking hours at work. If the work part is positive, then we have a much better chance of spreading positivity to the rest of our lives. Let's keep this place incredible. Thanks. Dave Ruff - CEO

Pros

Benefits, free lunch occasionally, Christmas bonus

Cons

They say to ask more questions When questions are asked they are not answered clearly and leave you guessing then you are punished for not knowing the answer.

Coffman Engineers Response

So sorry your experience lacked clarity. Also, your comments about mentorship and inclusion are troubling. This business of ours is an apprenticeship environment. Without mentorship, we can't perpetuate the company, because most of what people need to know is learned on the job. We wouldn't have survived for 44 years if we didn't mentor our team members. I'm definitely not saying that we are perfect at mentorship and can't improve. Same applies to leading with clarity. We are working on these and other items as we continuously improve Coffman. Part of those enhancements are being worked on by our Diversity and Inclusion committee. Sorry that our journey and your journey are no longer combined. I wish you all the best in your future endeavors. Sincerely, Dave Ruff - CEO
