Disappointing To work for and dangerous

Licensed electrician

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Benefits are the only plus

Cons

No knowledgeable electricians as " dispatchers ", dispatchers are young kids with no field experience or training. The " in house " master electrician has no license and never has ITT tech data classes. You work alone on Wal-Mart properties when you have jobs that requires 2 electricians , unlicensed " techs " doing work in TX, AR , La , Miss and Missouri that require licensing and permits and inspections. If there is a problem with a job you can't finish you get harassed about it , everything is last minute and hurry up and wait. Dispatchers bill and charge for materials not used or installed in Wal-Mart properties, bill padding. Dispatchers tell untrained "techs " to work in dangerous conditions.

Poor management and limited advancement opportunities

Service electrician

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Benefit package used to be good but now not much different than any other company. They say they are paid but the deductible and co-pays are so high same as if you paid for them. They use this to try and convince you it's worth five more dollars an hour.

Cons

Poor management. Limited support they have one electrician in the office in their service department. Which means if you have any issues you have to try and get to speak with him. Management is unable to help you unless it is to discuss your time or DOT. Lastly do not expect to be paid scale wages here. For some reason they have unlicensed electricians working for them that they pay more.
