CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Colleagues from HQ and site teams are generally supportive and helpful, which creates a good collaborative environment across departments. However, support from the immediate superior could be improved. At times, questions or explanations were met with judgment rather than guidance, which made open communication more challenging.

Cons

Leadership style could be more supportive. At times, questions were met with frustration and there was limited guidance provided, which made onboarding and daily work challenging. Clear communication, consistent follow-through on commitments, and recognition for employees who take initiative would greatly improve team morale.

Business Outlook

Pros

You're off pretty much whenever school is out and they provide your shirt and nonslip shoes.

Cons

Low pay, heavy lifting, very few pto days that management is known to deny for arbitrary reasons.

Business Outlook

Pros

Depending on which segment you work in, the schedule can be great.

Cons

Company aggressively micromanages from the top down. I spend way too much time on pet tasks to look good on a report, as opposed to serving our clients. Because the organization is so large, and in so many segments, there is a disconnect between corporate and operations. What works for one segment doesn't work for another.
