Sad place to work

Recommend
CEO approval
Business outlook

Pros

During the time I worked there I sadly found nothing good. Many employees quit during the time I worked there. One employee more frustrated than the other always complaining about the manager.

Cons

Most of them are bad from the way the employee is treated to the way the employees' schedules are organized. There is no organization at all.

Pros

-When Busy, Lots of Special Inspections per Chapter 17 of the NYCBC -Lots of Field Work, if you are the kind who dislikes working in the Office, this is a great place to work -Variety of Projects at times is good -Excellent Professional Networking due to Religious Affiliations, firm gets many projects because ownership here and ownership of GCs, Developers, etc. are great at Networking with one another in that regard -Lots of chances to gain field experience towards Special Inspection certifications -Company is supportive of new certifications and makes sure all Field Inspectors are OSHA/NYCDOB compliant. -Overtime comes at time and a half -Good matching 401K policy -There is Inspections, Monitoring, and Testing Divisions all under Umbrella of Big Apple Group -They support projects that are both Minor and Major

Cons

-Many Inspectors do not get their site assignments until 5:45 PM the day before so Work Schedule can be unpredictable -Inspections Scheduled can both be too much and too little, an inspector may have a day where there is a single one hour inspection, an inspector may also have a day where they are doing the job of 4 inspectors in 4 different areas each requiring 5-8 hours inspection in a single shift. -Be prepared for many Unpaid Religious Holidays -As work schedule is primarily at Construction Sites, be prepared for inclement weather or cancelled work due to it -Office Support for given projects can range from absent to average, an Inspector may find themselves onsite without any paperwork or drawings pertaining to that project and has to often remind Office Staff to send it in depending on who in Office is managing the project. -Reimbursements may come minimally, be prepared to justify each one -Vacation Time Off does not kick in until Employee works there for at least one year -There is relatively high turnover rate amongst both Field Inspectors and Office Staff.

Not bad, not good

Pros

1. They will pay you overtime if you have lots of job assignments. Traffic reimbursement was good.

Cons

1. Less job in winter, they will pay how much hours you work. if you have 30 hrs one week, you will only get 30 hrs paid. It usually happens in winter. 2. They have some mega construction jobs, but normally you never have a chance to get involved.
