Pros

Honestly I could not be happier to work for a company so committed to retaining its culture- There are many companies out there that talk the talk but Coffman really walks the walk. We have a great work-life balance, professional staff, and a president that really cares about the future of our company.

Cons

Please pay closer attention to market rate wages for all staff (not just the engineers)... It will help with retention.

Coffman Engineers Response

You had me at honestly ;) Your comment about non-engineer staff wages is duly noted. There aren't as many benchmarks available for these positions in our industry. But we have recently invested in some subscription services that can help us keep in tune with our industry specific marketplace. Keep being great, and we will keep leading on! Dave Ruff - President

Pros

My experience has been that Coffman does everything they can to help employees. That being said you still need to be contributing to the success of the company.

Cons

This is still the consulting business and schedules can be difficult. Nothing specific to Coffman.

Coffman Engineers Response

It is out of respect for people that we do what we can to help. Ideally work rises above being merely a transaction. We are all pulling the same way, achieving success beyond our individual capacity, working hard, and supporting each other. Thanks for the comments. Dave Ruff - President.

Pros

I loved working in the office I worked at, the people are great to work with! The GM understood family and it made it easy to take time off for family things. Also, the benefits are better then most companies and you never go hungry because they always feed you!

Cons

Lots of expectations to handle 10 things at once, it wouldn't be such a bad thing if compensation leveled it out but compensation wasn't great.
