Pros

None they will work you into the ground and then gouge you for pay

Cons

Every negative review on here is extremely accurate. This company was built on getting as much out it's staff for as little as possible. It truly does have a very dark side, everyone is expendable, I worked there as upper management and it was soul destroying to see them going their guys. People are paid the legal minimum, and then wages are messed around. No travel time, minimum hourly rate, a non-existent but always promised bonus scheme, minimum vacation time. I worked with some great people there, but to stay and thrive you have to sell your soul. The lowest morale of any company I have ever worked for,I couldn't stay and maintain my sanity and my social life. There is more to life than work, but not in this company ethos.

Pros

There were no pros for working for this company

Cons

Terrible company to work for. It's not unusual for the engineers to be expected to be up on the road at 3am to 4am, drive 3 to 4 hours then do work, then have the 3 to 4 hour drive home. Underpaid and underappreciated sums up the companies view of their employees, everyone is seen as replaceable. There is no real chance for progression Wasn't uncommon to drive 3 hours to a job to find out it was already done. When jobs have been cancelled the office staff have lied to the cilent and when I've turned up on site I have been informed the cilent was told my wife was in a car accident that's why I didn't turn up, when the truth was the office told me not to go to the job. As a whole avoid working for this company, they will grind you into the ground and make you unwell, then complain when you need a rest day. I meet some good engineers in the field but this company as a whole is appalling Sub contractors have been refused payment even when jobs were completed, I know of several Sub contractors elecheck used but elecheck haven't paid them... some are owed thousands This company will drain your work/life balance your expected to work yourself to the bone for them and they won't even give your the contractoral pay review.

Pros

Only one. Some fantastic people who work for the company - shame about the management.

Cons

Oh where to start with the negatives. First of all only getting 1 star rating as it website would not allow me to submit 0 and I can't do negative numbers and the "positive review was clearly the MD. News flash no one is buying it!! The management think it is acceptable to not pay staff then lie and say it is a clerical error. Then avoid calls or emails No overtime incentive (in fact no incentive/bonuses full stop). People within the company have good ideas for improvement and growth but are ignored and in some cases spoken down to because of the MD's outdated practices. For example told not to recruit people with tattoos. Poor leadership and management. Certain people only in positions of authority because they either own or are "friends " with the owner. Others are only there because they are very good at deflecting blame. Morale of workforce is the lowest of any company/organisation I have ever worked for. I could go on but in short DO NOT WORK FOR THIS FARCE OF A COMPANY
