Pros
Tate is always looking to improve and grow as a company for its associates and customers. Over the years, they have invested in technology upgrades as well as management and organizational systems. Their work-life balance is excellent. You may have to put in a few extra hours, but they are flexible and understanding when something comes up at home. During COVID times, those who were able to complete their job from home were given the necessary tools. Those who were not were provided with PPE for the office or job site. Management has adapted to the work from a home model and understands that kids were also schooling from home. When requests were made, they provided us with the technology needed. Tate often does associate get-togethers, like BBQ and holiday luncheons, and yearly associate appreciation events that often include families. Sometimes, because of our business's nature, our service technicians cannot always join our larger events, so management often offers smaller events like fishing trips on alternates dates.
Cons
I believe all companies can improve on communication, and that includes Tate. I do believe they are taking the necessary steps to improve this. Tate often makes decisions on committee input. While this can be helpful in some cases, it can also slow the process and decision-making time. Some departments could use more associates.
