Pros

People in the office are nice.

Cons

Terrible pay at $14 an hour for a ton of manual labor work. Certifications they offer raise pay by $0.50 an hour, not worth it for more work. They don’t care about you, even though they say they do, because if you leave they will have someone else new which is also why the pay is so bad. Doing important work, foundations of building, reading blue prints, and inspecting important stuff, all for a terrible pay. They have you carry dirty, heavy stuff and make you transport it to every site. Make the lowest paid people, field techs, do all the dirty labor work and charge the sites around $50/hr while giving the field techs $14/hr. Reaping all the profits for your hard work 👎.

Pros

Always Hiring as people leave eventually

Cons

Working at this company was an overwhelmingly negative experience. The work environment was toxic, with disorganized and unapproachable leadership that fostered fear instead of collaboration. Management lacked basic leadership skills, frequently micromanaging, playing favorites, and avoiding accountability. There was absolutely no work-life balance, employees were expected to work long hours, including nights and weekends, with little notice. Compensation was way below industry standards, and there were no meaningful opportunities for growth or development. Company communication was poor, and major decisions were made without transparency, leaving employees confused and demoralized. Overall, it was a frustrating and draining place to work, and I would not recommend it to anyone.
