Good Company - Project Manager Edwards Moving & Rigging Employee Review

Operations team is great, sales team is great, really dynamic, interesting, and self driven environment for project managers. I would go back in a heartbeat if they paid better.

Pay: I estimate pay is about 60% of industry/role average. Went to work here because of how interested I was in the industry, ran simultaneous multi million dollar projects in different states paid like an entry level coordinator, yearly bonus is a $50 or $100 gift card. Got a new job and literally doubled my salary. Travel: Company assigns you to a region (intended to be within 200 miles from home) and that’s where you’re supposed to operate. I did most of my jobs between 400 and 600 miles from home. Expectation to run projects while traveling, follow up on other projects, and drive a couple hundred miles a day. Worked about 18 hours a day while on the road to keep up. Surprise assignment to 3 month long projects out of state with 24 hours notice. Top level management issues: Senior executive openly criticized me and wrongly corrected me via a team-wide email with project team in CC because they didn’t understand a project workscope. Silly non-compete agreement: Condition of employment to sign a non-compete for all levels. Understandable to industry transferable roles, but unethical and maybe illegal (?) for tradesmen that work as riggers.

Some of the people seemed genuinely nice.

My boss cussed at me, yelled at me, did not train me what so ever then would get angry I didn’t know how to magically file for licenses for several states when I was never shown how to. Said Americans were stupid, basically called my child stupid and couldn’t see how she would be taking college courses as a sophomore next year because Americans are ignorant. She clearly had no idea what she was doing because half the time she had to ask someone else for an answer I needed help with and would still yell at me. I’ve never been so disrespected by a boss in my life and she got away with it! I went to HR and I WAS TERMINATED FOR SPEAKING UP!!!! I’ve never heard such profanity in the work place in a “corporate office” in my life!
