Pros

You have freedom but no support

Cons

-No support -Doesn't stand up for their employees - Sexiest -Upper Management will say yes all day long to the client but not back up the yes and make the team do everything to overwhelm them -Upper Management doesn't understand the fact that you must build a team during early stages of bidding/projects for a successful start. They wait till your already overwhelmed and rush into hiring unqualified people -Upper Management holds no responsibility and holds the highest title responsible for their short comings for not listening -Not sold into the Northeast, they solely use travelers and don't care about building a team

Pros

Don't really have much to say. I mean I suppose to some extent they employed me and paid me on time. The break trailers were nice and clean.

Cons

Where to begin.... There wasn't enough material to complete the tasks assigned, I didn't receive my tool box till my third day on the job, and yet was still being asked to produce. There was one gang box with all the power tools I needed however someone deemed that it was there own, kept it locked and wouldn't allow others to use them. I was never given any drawings of my own and had to wait 2 to 4 hours till a foreman would get with me as to what I was to do next meanwhile another employee, who's position is unknown to me , was peeking around corners and making comments on my lack of production. Apparently there were safety rules against employees using platform lifts without company training regardless of experience or proof of other training, but there was no one there to train me. This restricted me to work that i could complete off a 6ft ladder. When I attempted to provide quality work I was asked to take it down because it was "too fancy". After one week I received a reduction of force layoff. However, I was told 2 different reasons, I was told a) There wasn't enough money in the project and b) lack of production.

Pros

A very fluid environment. Good opportunities for hard workers.

Cons

Sometimes there’s red tape and many moving parts to get things done.
