Pros

You get paid well when you finally become a crew chief. The other guys in the field and the dispatchers are incredibly hard working.

Cons

The company (owner) does not care about how long you work as long as he gets his income. On average you can expect to work 15-18 hour days with no paid vacation, no sick days, no offered 401k program (you have to ask to be enrolled, then they will make you feel like you are robbing them by enrolling), they will charge you for a lunch break but will not allow you to take one, and worst of all you will never have job security. If you challenge the management (ask questions about whether or not what we do is legal) you will receive "extra supervision" on your jobs and calls. They also allow uncertified employees to conduct jobs that require a special certification to conduct (mold, water mitigation, and sewage). There is also no proper training provided to employees and many have been injured on the job because of this. Overall, I would never recommend this company to anyone and I will never go back and work there.

Pros

Competitive pay, though they seem to be letting go of the highest earners. 401k that will never be vested due to turnover. Bonus incentives that you may not receive due to turnover.

Cons

No personal life. Management makes you work extra hours during high volume without warning per management discretion and often without extra pay. Lack of training as you are expected to train yourself. There is no training schedule for new employees. No training manuals. No OSHA training. No asbestos ID training. Management acts as a high school clique. Extremely high turnover. If they don't like you personally (nothing to do with performance), they will pick on you until they find "something" they can fire you for. They will nickel and dime your paycheck. Management will throw employees under the bus for management's mistakes to cover their a.... Often resulting in reduction of pay or other disciplinary action including termination.

We're terribly sorry to see that you feel this way about our company. The nature of our work is in an emergency response capacity, and we will be the first to tell everyone coming in for an interview that we work very, very long hours during catastrophic events. It is, after all, an industry that responds to storms, floods, and fires. We cant predict when they will happen, or how severe they will be. It is our job to be skilled at responding to those universal truths. We do compensate employees for their time (you even list in your “Pros” as “Competitive Pay”) and have structured, open-book finances that allow our employees to see how manage our money. Hourly workers get overtime pay, admin staff get quarterly performance-based bonuses, and commission-based employees enjoy generous compensation for their hard work. We do indeed have mandatory (and paid) state-of-the-art training for every single field employee, which we take very seriously. At the time of your review, our most-recent OSHA training took place the week of May 18th. We wish you the best of luck on your career path.

Pros

- Most of the employees are good people - They overpay their employees and throw around random "perks", but it's not because they're trying to build a good work environment...it's because both management and ownership are filled with terrible people and it's the only way to keep employees on while they treat them like garbage until they inevitably dump them like said garbage

Cons

- Scumbags in executive management/ownership - The owners and managers are garbage - Socially inept, useless people in management/ownership

Thank you for your honest candor. We agree that we pay at the top of the market—both in terms of compensation and benefits, and appreciate your mentioning so. We are, however, very sorry to hear you had a negative experience working for us - we pride ourselves on providing a positive and impactful employee experience for every one of our staff members and are regretful that your experience was not. Our company's leadership feels very strongly that our employees come first and wish we had been able to make you feel that was true as well.
