Pros

You will find 1-2 people that genuinely care about you. Convenient location.

Cons

There is absolutely no room for growth. They'll post a job without asking anyone in the department. Unless you bypass "protocol" in a cut throat manner, you'll never go anywhere. The building contains too many people that have been there way too long/aren't advancing with the times. They micromanage those that do their job & do it well but then have others in the same department who barely lift a finger and can get away with just about anything. Long, long, long summer hours (which are not comped in any way) and in the winters you have to "find ways to look busy" when everyone knows you're not busy.....still expected to be in your chair for 8 hours every day. The women are very cliquey and gossip. They pretend to be your friend to get information then go around spreading rumors and lies. I don't think the owners are aware of most of what actually goes on in the building. They promote "One Ozinga" as in all should fall under the same rules. But for some departments, the rules don't apply. Working remote is no longer an option (even for those far more productive at home) yet there are other departments that don't come in even once a week to the office. Depending on who your "higher up" is, depends on the type of treatment you receive. Poor, poor, management. Unqualified people in positions that they shouldn't be in. Terrible pay for the hours put in. They make a generous contribution to your 401k and hold it over your head as part of your "salary package". If you want more money, don't bother asking.

Pros

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.

Cons

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.

Pros

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.

Cons

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.
