Company and Management That Truly Cares - Intern Ozinga Employee Review

Fantastic culture. They care deeply about employees and their well-being. They do require a solid work ethic in return, but the effort toward safety and overall employee well-being is top-notch.

It can be very stressful when demand is high, and material flow is slowed by any number of issues. Normal for a construction-related business, though, when busy seasons are short.

No defined start or end time. As long as a ticket gets done, no one bats an eye. 2 hour day or 12 hour day, it doesn't matter. (Not a true pro if you care about showing up on time and getting home on time. Often times would wait 1-2hours in the building lobby before coworkers show up to start work). Great on the job training and you are provided with all the tools and materials you could need.

Incredibly poor pay. Manager lacks in respect. Politics come up quite frequently in the office and it can be a very hostile work place if you don't fit their cookie cutter mold of what an Ozinga employee should be like. Local travel includes overnights out of state, five hour drives to complete one ticket and a five hour drive back. Definitely not local. Insurance is awful and barely covers what you need. Incredibly dangerous at times with the manager not necessarily caring that it is dangerous. He does care if you have hi-vis on or not, but does not care about unsafe actions to get a job done quicker. They will require a drug test in order to work for them, you are required to go to a steel mill. However, note that they may not require this until you have worked there for one year. It will take one year to receive a desk to sit at, otherwise, you get a chair in a corner.
