Pros

Lots of free time during the day as their payroll and Outlook operating systems are always crashing or inaccessible. I’ve worked for smaller companies that have much better operating systems and support!

Cons

Payroll and operating systems. Lack of support. Zero concern or care for field technicians. Techs are required to use their own phones to input their time but get “zero” compensation for using their personal items for the company. No boot allowance, the technician per diem is at $35, yes seriously, it’s $35 per day! Techs often have to use their own tools or spend their own money to get supplies for jobs. Don’t call the Corporate office, nobody answers the phone!! Unless you have their home number or cell, you are SOL. Very, very minimal investment into their branches. By far the worst company I’ve ever worked for. Management has zero communication with branches except when the branch spends money or gives a tech non-billable hours, then they call really quickly. They do not pay their bills!! A majority of the phone calls received at the branch level are from debt collectors. Very high turnover rate, it seems people are leaving the company weekly. Not even sure how many CEO’s they’ve had in the last five years.

Pros

Some good people with good intentions working in the field. Lots of them become like family and genuinely care about each other.

Cons

Upper management has driven the company toward trying to be something we are not. Too much bean counting overpricing services and driving customers away. And they could care less about the field guys that earn their paychecks.

Pros

None exist any longer. This company used to be honest and exciting to work for. Inside its walls contained richly talented, humble employees with a can do attitude. We are/ were a family who always pulled together to get the job done, whether it was our "job" or not. We are all sorry to the Knopp family (who built Bolttech from the ground up in 1979) as they have slowly watched their former company go up in flames.

Cons

Grey Mountain Partners aquired BMI from Anthony Santilli. Only they were in for a shocker once they opened the doors to their new kingdom. Having realized they were duped and the company was ficticiously inflated as to its worth. They spent more losing to Santilli in court. What does one do when they paid 50 million more for a company than its worth? Its not rocket science. Its math. We all have excellent ideas, however, GMP brought our worst nightmare through the doors. Ed Komoski. "The Pretender" (A fraudulent, thieving, greedy, pompous, opportunistic, lying cheat with zero business acumen) This was our latest and greatest of many new CEO's. Like the formers who knew nothing of our industry...... We hung on. Private jets, personal spending, lavish trips. Scandals, back door deals, pocketing money from side deals and so on..... Excellent choices when payroll is barely being met, unpaid rents and unpaid vendors who threaten to stop the very services we needed to do some of our jobs. Perhaps this would somehow lead to our success, growth, job creation, lowering debt?? Great way for GMP and Goldman Sachs to keep an eye on their investment! Unless they were in on it. Just a wonder..... The fraud and mismangement mentioned here is just a scratch on the surface. This sounds like a bad dream, doesnt it? Just wait for it.... Goldman Sachs now owner of BMI as of 12/2017, exuded their Christmas cheer amongst the company. That one time of year where we spread love, worship and family togetherness. A vast amount of my BMI family woke up on Christmas to find out they were jobless! Many terminated for political reasons. The message being delivered by a shmuck from ACM Partners, hired by Goldman. (To all of you insiders who have known this for over a month and didnt look out for your own. Shame on you!) The universe always has a way of "gifting" you. These poor families frantically awaited their termination letters for days hoping for a remorseful severance. Wrong, the severance was a joke! Amongst this terminated group was the VP of sales who is the 2nd leader next to the Knopps to walk into Bolttech and earn the faith and respect of the majority. That was a huge mistake Goldman. Terminating the brains and the man who brought in the bread and butter. Not so logical. He was the reason myself and many others have continued to put ourselves through more BMI pain. I bid the remainder a farewell!
