Lots of promises, very few results

Pros

At the site level there was very little office politics to deal with.

Cons

Upper management had a tendency to be unprofessional, airing dirty laundry of the company often in public settings. Corporate communication was terrible and scattered. Day to day functions at site level were not understood by DFO's or VPs leading to unrealistic expectations from both your company and your customer. Compensation aligned with someone just entering the job market, benefits are substandard. HR offers little to no support in improving work environment for field employees. A side note- for a company with women at the helm as co-CEOs, the very least you could offer the women in your company would be some kind of women's leadership program. Or maybe more women actually in leadership positions.

Pros

Solid benefits package, casual/laid back work environment, not overly difficult tasks at hand, generally good job security, most upper level management knows their mid to lower level employees by name or face. Turtle & Hughes is looking financially very strong with recent acquisitions. The ESOP package is a wonderful incentive as employees do not contribute any out of pocket.

Cons

Constrictive pay roll, most employees are grossly underpaid and very disgruntled. You can always hear the gossip about the employees talking about their meager wages (which I cannot blame), way too much nepotism as everyone is related or friends of someone of management. The average employee faces little to no job growth and opportunity as I've personally seen employees here with 20+ years under their belts that are in the same position collecting dust and being rewarded with insignificant raises. TONS of office drama and immaturity that runs rampant, especially at the Houston branch.

Pros

OK benefits, will work with you on vacation and sick days but must be approved. If you are a student this job may be OK for a starter job but keep looking.

Cons

shady on pay. Example most employees are skimmed on overtime. Nepotism is everywhere. New people that started that were children of friends were slackers while real hard working employees were passed over for promotions or raises. Problems with management being so greedy. People bring guns to work and their corporate lawyer refuses to implement a safe and gun free work environment. Sexual harassment is rampant and a problem for the company but they refuse to address it. Most women harassed just left due to the company not addressing the issue or pretending to fix but waiting until employees being harassed quit. They terminated anyone that had lodged complaints within the company to get them to address ongoing issues. So much fear mongering that goes around in this place.
