Limited advancement opportunities and poor safety practices
Pros
Plenty of line hoses and blankets
Cons
Supervisors are advanced based on their years of service not there Education or knowledge.. During the hiring interview, if they want you, they will promise you everything under the sun. I see many major OSHA violations. Lack of job briefings. Red tags removed from out of service.Equipment. company pretends they have an apprenticeship. Program, however, it's all online and very vague. most equipment is heavily worn and dated. Hand tools are heavily worn. Company expects employees to purchase battery hand tools. Some costing in the thousands of dollars. 401K is 3% matching, that's a joke. No profit sharing. Health insurance cost 8x as my previous employer. This company does not want to advance apprentices, or give them pay raises. This company will not give you a transfer to another yard. My opinion, This company is only a stepping stone or temporary job. They pay no predem. Every few weeks you are put on standby with no compensation and no regards for your weekend plans.
