Pros

Competitive pay rates, benefits are fair, no time pressure... which is used as a crutch to drag jobs out... works to the employees benefit lol.

Cons

For a company that has so much to offer, the employees resources are extremely limited. This place or “area” is mind blowing. We give, give, and give to a management team who absolutely cares about nothing but their personal benefit. To talk to employees from different regions and to hear how good they have it will almost push you to walking away. Every morning I walk into work I see guys who literally give their all day in and day out, some of the more skilled workers in the yard who struggle to make ends meet, working for pay that they were hired in at 2 years ago and ask myself why do I want to work somewhere like this. We have absolutely no input in anything. My boss doesn’t have a spec book and I can assure you it’s because of the cost to print it... and we constantly have to go back to jobs we have completed and then hear our management complain. The clothes we wear are clothes that we are given but yet we supposedly have an online account to order from... wonder if they have ever heard of payroll deductions if we go over? We are given coats to wear under rubber gloves and sleeves that are thicker than my bedspread because it’s cheap... that’s if you are fortunate enough to have one. We have no rainsuits but work in all kinds of weather and we will be sent home if we wear one that isn’t FR. I could easily go on and on but if you get nothing out of this message just remember to chose the location you work out of wisely or go elsewhere.

Pros

Nothing at all. It's all listed in the cons.

Cons

We were sold off to them from Optimum. Quickly trying to become the worst company in America to work for. They took away our vacation. Our sick time. Our personal time. They took away holidays. Now they are saying that working a holiday is mandatory unless you asked it off 2 weeks before it (they gave notice of that less than a week before it). They monitor wherever you are, doing whatever, soon as that truck moves. You aren't allowed to backup. If you call in two times in a 90 day period, you're in trouble. If it gets to 8 times (the last call in continues it on) you're fired. They overwork you because they are "behind" and you're just expected to work later. We're expected to do more and for less. They even denied our merit raises saying they didn't believe in them. They don't care about your family and wanting to see them. To be able to spend time outside of work. DO NOT WORK FOR THIS COMPANY IF YOU CAN HELP IT!
