Culture and people are good! But... Pay isn't!

Anonymous employee

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Coffman's culture and most of the people are great to work with. They try to take care of the employees.

Cons

But.... The pay isn't as great as other companies out there. This is where it's hard for Coffman to keep staff.

Coffman Engineers Response

I keep hearing this and we are continuing to evaluate. We have to remain competitive and adapt to your marketability. Tough balance. And unfortunately in your case it looks like we didn't measure up. In your evaluation of pay, please make sure you are comparing apples to apples (meaning total comp and culture). Our business model is quite different from those firms that don't pay overtime. As a result our pay tends to be lower. However, if you are now purely salaried, please compare your hourly pay rate based upon your total hours worked. You may find that it is not so different. With the addition of a positive culture, we may just tip the scales. Just a thought. I wish you all the best. Dave Ruff - President

Business Outlook

Pros

Employees are respected. Diverse client base. Appropriate engineering tools and references are provided. Professional development is a priority. Feels like we are all on the same team.

Cons

Typical consultant downsides are that project deadlines are merciless and clients let theirs schedules drag so sometimes you spend long hours at the office. Coffman allows comp time and overtime pay so that you can take time off or get compensated for extra hours worked.

Coffman Engineers Response

Our clients do create emergencies due to their lack of planning. It is a tough reality in a service industry that we have to be flexible. But when lack of planning crosses over into outright disrespect, we should move on. Per your advice we are looking forward and in reverse at the same time. Trying to make sure we don't diverge from the road that has made us successful. Thanks for being so loyal for 10 years. Each decade should be something you are proud of. Let's go for another one. Dave Ruff - President
