Pros

You can learn A LOT. I am currently working at Triumvirate as an Environmental Specialist. Like most environmental specialists, I received this job right out of college and had very little knowledge besides a few internships. Triumvirate paid for my OSHA 40 and I received constant training by the company throughout my first year. After the first year the training decreases but it still carries through. Many companies I applied for immediately dismissed me simply because I did not have my OSHA 40, so this attribute is unusual for a company. There is a huge amount to learn and it takes hard work to learn it, but once you master it, you can begin to move up in the environmental specialist ranks. There are five different levels and as you prove yourself and pass a set of tests, you can receive a promotion and slight pay increases. Many people who complain about this do not want to put in the time and effort to move up the ranks. If you put in the time (a lot of time) and effort, you can move out of the position and into others. During the interview they touted upward mobility and it is there if you work for it. Many people complaining about the company and position do not want to put the time in to make it happen.

Cons

I mentioned previously several times about hard work, and you do work hard here. There is a lot of physical labor involved in the job and you can easily work a 60 plus hour work week, making your work-life balance nearly impossible at times. On top of working that many hours, you regularly start between 5:30am and 7:00am, so it is tough to catch up on sleep when you do work a 12 plus hour day full of manual labor. Within the first 3-6 months, people either get used to the busy schedule or leave the company, taking their certifications and trainings with them. During these busy days, often you will not even stop for lunch. Although the upper management says they discourage people skipping lunch breaks, this is a complete lie. I have been "talked to" on numerous occasions by my coworkers and managers about taking a 5 minute break to eat a sandwich quickly. This is not a joke, so be warned. Most people are scared to take a lunch but I take one because I know I cannot get in any real trouble for taking 5 minutes out of a 12 hour day to eat quickly. The work is usually disorganized. From getting in early in the morning and not having the proper supplies needed to complete the job to having missing or wrong paperwork, this happens too routinely. These mistakes all stem from the office, yet they try to pass the blame on us environmental specialists. This all adds an extra layer of stress to an already heavily stressful job. Do not expect to work in this job for more than 3 years. By then almost everyone has either moved up to a different position in the company or left to a 40 hour job.

Pros

You will meet a handful of intelligent and hard working people

Cons

-No work life balance. None. -Forget about working from home (you are obviously a slacker); also don’t take your lunch break or leave on time. It looks bad and people are noticing. -Old boys club (look at who comprises the executive level) -Your loyalty does not matter; no one who isn’t in the club is really essential. If they want you out, they will find a way to get you out. -Inequities abound; favorites exist. -Overall, you can work anywhere else in the Boston area and have more flexibility with your schedule and time, more vacation, better benefits, more autonomy and ownership of your work, and actual room for advancement. You are also be treated fairly by a company that values diversity, equity, and inclusion. Why are you working here?

Triumvirate Environmental Response

We appreciate your feedback and are sorry to read you had a poor experience at Triumvirate- that is not what we hope to hear from our TEI Alumni. We are not perfect (no company is) but we are committed to ensuring that our organization champions all employees and provides equitable opportunities for all. Our various Employee Resource Groups- The Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Community, Growing Roles of Women, Triumvirate Gives Back and The Employee Recognition Committee-have been developed to ensure that our Executive team is well informed about and addressing the topics and initiatives that are most important to our workforce. Most recently, we have put a large focus on DE&I Initiatives, Employee Health and Wellness, and have rolled out a formal “Remote Work Policy” for many positions at Triumvirate. As we are a highly customer service focused company and because most employees are needed on our client sites, “remote work” is not possible in all roles. We know how hard our employees work and we truly do appreciate the time (however long) each employee spends in our organization. Thank you for your time here and please contact HR to further discuss your above comments. Any accusation of mistreatment or inequitable treatment must be fully investigated as neither is tolerated at TEI.
