Pros

In my opinion; These are just a few of the “pros.” The company store offers snacks at cost. 20% of the people do 80% of the work. The company is not what it once was. New owner, new management, almost all of the senior employees with years of experience have been ran off due to the erratic manner in which the organization operates. Most of the new employees lack the educational background that was once required. Opportunities for advancement are limited due to the infrastructure used to rate employees. Misplaced goals (like winning business awards) having nothing to do with what directly relates to the workplace seem to take priority over getting accurate performance reviews and merit raises in a timely manner. The layers of management often outnumber the actual count of the persons doing the work.

Cons

The company has almost every negative review that has put on this site removed. This one will probably get pulled down as well. But, I will give an example of a "con" here. The helpless feeling you have on a startup knowing very little about the project when the person who actually programmed it is no longer with the company to help commission it while the customer is standing directly behind you for a 10 day wondering why the system isn’t running yet etc.

Dear Former TEC Employee, Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts. I’m sorry that your experience at TEC left you with such negative feelings. However, based on the nature of your comments, it seems that quite a bit of time has passed since you were part of the team—likely several years, if not more. TEC has undergone significant changes over the past few years, including shifts in leadership, structure, and culture. Like any organization, growth can come with challenges, but we’ve worked hard to adapt, improve, and create an environment that supports both our employees and our customers. While I understand that change isn’t always easy, I assure you that our focus remains on delivering high-quality solutions and fostering a positive workplace. Employee retention, performance evaluations, and transparent communication are top priorities for us today. We’ve also made efforts to expand opportunities for employee development and advancement. We regret that your time with TEC did not reflect the positive direction we are now striving for. Your feedback, though from a past perspective, is valuable and serves as a reminder of where we have come from and what we continue to improve. I truly wish you the best in your future endeavors and hope you can find closure regarding your time here. We welcome constructive feedback from both current and former employees as part of our ongoing effort to grow and evolve. Sincerely, Jessica Ziegler HR Director TEC Systems Group

Pros

Heavily invests in training and development, helping employees chase their professional goals. Leadership that cares. Friendly and fun, yet professional atmosphere. Family oriented. Beautiful new office in downtown. No micromanaging, people here are self-starters. Flexible schedules and 9/80. Great pay and benefits. Plenty of opportunity for growth and advancement. People enjoy the challenges seem happy and fulfilled in their careers overall. I want to mention that after many years of trying, TEC has finally (just recently) cleaned out the last of the toxicity. The difference is night and day. Recent hires are motivated and hit the ground running, not bogged down by negativity and drama that used to be.

Cons

Small company = many hats. Sometimes employees need to be flexible and take things on that aren't in their job description. Some see this as a con. I think it makes me a more well-rounded employee and keeps life interesting.

Pros

New downtown location is more centralized than the old building.

Cons

What was once a good company to work for has become a not so good place to work in recent years. The current owner, who took over from his father, had good intentions to grow the company when he took over. Through bad decisions and allowing his group of yes-men to run things, he hasn't accomplished this. In the time that the company has been in the new building, several long time employees have quit taking with them almost 100 combined years of experience. Raises have been miniscule at best for the employees that do the work while the bigger salaries have been handed out to those who spend their times in meetings all day.
