Good and bad - Journeyman Electrician New Electric Employee Review

Large company which helps you out with resources.

Stressful at times with fluctuating workloads

Got my own room when traveling and 40 a day per diem. Lots of hours. They supply uniforms and a bag full of ppe and lockout tag outs and medical kit. Decent pay. Suppose to assign a drill set. apparently showing up late everyday isn't a big deal.

Never got a drill set or door key. Employees often showed up late. I was always on timeor early and with no door key to the shop would mean I'm stuck waiting. They allow dangerous working conditions. One place had hydraulic fluid all over the floor where we were working making ladders very dangerous as well as they had a five gallon Gatorade jug of water sitting on top of a 480v transformer. How large could the explosion really be? Not like anyone couldslip on all that hydraulic fluid everywhere. Or let's work in a sewer drain with live 480 that can't be shut off while it's down pouring rain. Had a Forman forget to shut off a 480v disco causing a near whoops on a journeyman. Later caught that Forman getting high on break. Got fired for accusations after catching Forman getting high. No communication from the office schedulers. Someguys wouldn't know where they were working until the night before. When payrolls messed up you'll be fighting for over a month to get it right. Pay is every 2weeks.
