Employee focused organization, excellent culture allowing team members to thrive. Business has a solid management structure and talented team, allowing for local office autonomy, no corporate team forcing policies.

Low Salary and mediocre benefits

Coffman Engineers Response

Thanks for the feedback. Sorry to hear your perspective on salary and benefits. The general managers and HR work diligently on market studies to confirm that we are paying a fair wage. I wrote in a response below regarding our business philosophy to balance our fixed costs in a way that creates stability through market upsets. We have proven through the years to be a very stable company. This is another benefit to our employees when the inevitable cycle of economic factors turns the wrong way. I will continue to work with the team to make sure we are being fair and competitive. Thanks so much for the feedback. Dave Ruff - CEO

Pros

Great leadership with clear and consistent communication, strong company culture and values and a very positive work-life balance.

Cons

Compensation could be improved to match market values.

Coffman Engineers Response

Empowering the team is in our mission statement. I will certainly continue to do my best to empower local leaders. The office leaders make decisions as a team whenever possible and this creates decision making that is in-touch with local needs and also takes care of the broader business requirements. And it is much more fun for me. Working within a high functioning team is the most rewarding of all work environments. Thanks for the feedback. Dave Ruff - CEO.
