A disappointing place to work, Horrible management - Technician/Foreman Wallwin Voice and Data Network Employee Review

Good location and good clientel. Wallwin is small company with opportunities to grow. Management is very approachable and try to help their on-field technicians as much as possible. If employees are reliable and responsible management provides support and flexibility.

Often it seems that penny crunching can takes priority over providing excellent customer service. At times management fails to recognize the importance of ensuring employees are recognized for their work. Benefits are minimal and most tools are not provided. Employees are not always paid for their time spent training. A little more effort in ensuring employees are satisfied should lead to improved employee commitement and dedidication to the company.

Great Company, I was more then happy to leave my previous employer where I was constantly working out of town and working many night shifts. Wallwin offered me steady local work with little to no weekends and was hired as a Cabling Foreman however didn't deliver on what I told them I could do. This is my failure not the companies. They gave me an opportunity to showcase my skills as a leader/foreman right away. Unfortunately I didn't do a good job. However to the companies credit they did send me additional manpower that was able to fix my mistakes. The overall job was a success. Although it was over budget slightly due to my errors. During my 3 month probation period I was provided with a company vehicle. (Not normally given out to probationary employees) They also provided me with constant supervision and direction. My manager even came out on his holidays to help me on the project I was working on. Even though it was my fault because I failed to write down the instructions he gave me the week prior. I was provided with a company phone and allowed to use it personally!!! They didn't even charge me anything when I broke the phone. Talk about being understanding. It was clear to everyone on site (including the customer) that I didn't know what I was doing. So they exercised their right not to continue my employment past the probation period. I honestly cant blame them either. I contentiously called my manger by the wrong name, Installed devices in the wrong location and forgot instructions on a daily basis. After spending many months blaming the company for my failure, and the fact that not even my previous employer wouldn't take me back, I've taken a long look at myself and have realized that I need to make a change, both professionally and personally. I can only hope that one day I'm the kind of person they would consider hiring.

They are the best, and in turn expect the best out of their employees. If you don't meet this requirement, don't bother. You won't Last! Don't lie on your resume, They will call you out on it!
