- Management out of touch with employees and their needs.
- company does not recognize additional qualifications as deserving of higher pay rate. Someone with 15-20+ relevant certifications and 6-8 years experience makes same rate as someone with bare minimum 2 or 3 certs who just started in the industry.
- company issues promotions based on favoritism rather than job performance, qualification, experience, etc.
- VERY profit driven company (unwilling to sacrifice anything for the sake of employee satisfaction)
- resorts to lay-offs or pay cuts at the drop of a hat
- company vehicles in terrible condition / unwilling to replace fleet even after trucks have paid for themselves 3-5 times over (through mileage charge billed to customers)
- corporate sometimes treats employees "like a number" rather than a human being
- higher level positions in the company seem to run on the "good 'ol boy network" ; there is much growth opportunity, but only if you're "in" with someone with pull
- company housing consists of 6 adult guys stuffed into a 3 bedroom apartment
- company has no concept of the term "exhaustion". Employees work 100-120 hour weeks regularly with no mandated breaks/days off, which means lower management won't allow days off unless it benefits the company. Doesn't matter if you're falling asleep while driving, if they need you for a job, you're gonna be working.
