Triumvirate Environmental reviews

This is by far the worst company I have ever worked for, yet it's ranked as #5 as one of the best places to work in Massachusetts as far as in the environmental field. Uniforms: Your first month you will need to buy your own uniforms, because the person in charge doesn't take the ordering and securing of uniforms seriously, I have been told uniforms were ordered and then arrive to the warehouse to find out they were stolen not once but 3 times, this is because they store your uniforms in a locker or on a clothing rack in the locker room which is accessible to everyone, and you cannot expense clothing other than "boots". Favoritism: this company has the "Good boys" club, the majority of those who will succeed are those who are willing to say "Yes" no matter the circumstance, it's a get selected as a favorite type of company. Majority of the workers I have talked to that work on the field, state how they can't stand the company and have almost quit on the spot before. Meetings: expect to be told to show up at the office at 6:30am in the morning, to then leave to head to your designated site, most of the meetings are not really beneficial for the material handlers, even though they're a part of the OSS team. Also, meetings made on your behalf they fail to include you in, don't be surprised you're told to do something that they could have "Asked" you to do instead of making that decision for you. Training: They absolutely do NOT take their trainings seriously other than when it comes time for recertification, if you work on site as a Material Handler, expect to hardly EVER have the time to do training, they tell you that you can do it at home and bill for it. (ONLY Upside) Communication: Absolutely the "Worst" majority of the time, Program managers and Team leads "Gate Keep" important information that can definitely help you succeed, people do NOT know how to follow a chain of command you will be told by environmental specialist or field techs who feel as if they also fit the "team" lead role to tell you how to do your job. Material Handler: expect to be on your feet majority of the day, and if you're lucky you won't end up on a site, where they expect for you to do multiple buildings without anyone jumping in to help, when you voice your concerns about needing help, they take that as a sign that you're incapable of doing your job, which they may move you to another site. You will see some of your peers having to "justify" their work hours by doing administrative duties that somehow take most of their shift to do, expect to see your peers on their phones & laptops most of the time, while you're hard at work. Micromanagement: Expect as a Material Handler to do more out of your job scope, because they don't deem your work worthy enough, you will be told to do monotonous little side jobs. Promotions/Growth: As a Material Handler you can be promoted to a Material Handler I or II, however the kick is you will be told it does "NOT" come with a pay raise, they have an advancement program that essentially was a "copy & paste" from the environmental specialist Tier advancement program, remind you material handlers for this company is a fairly new position. Other Positions: I have sat in on many of their "Career path" sessions, and each time you ask how your role as a Material Handler could fit the new role, you're either met with" I'm not familiar with the material handler" role and or you find your skills "Do NOT" transfer over to any other positions within the company. Management: Be aware that management likes to pretend they understand you, and they love to try and play the good cop, bad cop role, but in reality most of the time they're already aware of where you will be placed, or moved to or know the information you have been requesting they will use words such as" I don't agree with it" but they don't really care as much as they portray, managers can be "Very" good with manipulating you if you "allow" it.

Low hourly wage for very qualified and intelligent college graduates. This is quite simply NOT a good way to get into the environmental industry. It is a good way to get into moving hazardous chemicals for a firm that does't care about there employees. Ironic given their mission statement.
