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.

Pros

Tons of growth opportunity for people willing to invest in the company. My department has grown by 400% in the past 10 years. Lots of training provided. PM's are expected to have complete ownership of their projects.

Cons

Going through a digital transformation which should be good in the long term. Work life balance can be tough but it comes in waves.
