From HR to Management, they never listened to the people who made the company great at one time. They continue down a path and let individuals that have no clue what they are doing, have too much control of the direction the company should go.
Lack of sense of unity with office - given hardhat sent to the field and have no communications from main office ever.
Low/hourly wages - look for inspectors with engineering degree then pay much less than remainder of industry while using your crendentials to profit. Possibility for winter layoff.
No use of degree - if interested in becoming a PE do not work as a TCI
-low salary, no bonus and no 401k matching
-no communication between upper management and everyone else
-claim they will advance your career path, but instead they keep you in one place not doing any work- takes too long to go anywhere with your career
-company is very Philly-centric, they expect people from other offices to travel to Philly for the Holiday party and only host events there
-minimal holidays and PTO
