Pros

The pay is decent, but animals at the zoo get treated better than employees here

Cons

At E2 you'll always be walking on eggshells and the whole jobsite feels like alcatraz. Management and HR demonstrate a complete disregard for employee well-being, treating field technicians with contempt and a lack of respect. Their actions are often cruel and dehumanizing, leaving one to question their own morality. Even using the restroom is subject to excessive control, requiring permission, an escort, and takes at least 10 minutes to get escorted, they take your time too. This level of micromanagement extends to all aspects of the workday, with constant surveillance and a barrage of ever-changing rules designed to exert absolute control over employees. The higher their position is, the more of a snake they are, that's basically how you climb the ladder in this company, by being a snake and putting people against each other. Safety is merely a pretense to maintain lucrative contract$$$. PPE is now the employee's responsibility, even when osha says it's the employers responsability to provide PPE for the job. They will go to Extreme lengths to make sure they have total control of every single employee and I'm not even exaggerating about this. The ideal employee in this toxic environment is a workaholic who thrives on excessive overtime and willingly submits to the demands of an abusive management style. I've worked in so many construction sites over the years, and nothing comes close to this level of insanity, most of the employees are completely aware of this but everyone is afraid to speak up. This is simply a labor job, but it's intentionally designed to make each workday a miserable experience. Management should go to the field, starting with the whale from HR, work for a week and see if they like being degraded, treated like a kid and disrespected all day.
