Electro Acoustics Reviews

Management is very out of touch with the complaints and struggles of technicians. Poor planning and communication leads to long hours at the last minute that puts strain on work life balance and puts technicians in unfair situations in front of clients. Technicians aren't equipped to grow and learn and receive little to know real training, but are put in increasingly difficult situations (often with little to no compensation increases) and it is framed as a "great career opportunity." Poor company culture makes it difficult to draw appropriate boundaries.

- Almost every person on the team is overworked & stressed - The lowest paid employees travel the most miles for work and have little to no reimbursement and are not offered company vehicles. - Schedules change frequently. - A lot of off the clock prep, communication & planning goes on if you want to do great. - Between unpaid drive to job-sites and preparation, communications & planning many employees spend 5-15 hours per work doing work related activities that aren’t paid. - Power is held in a few hands. - Almost no one at the company has worked for an AV integrator outside the company and they are not open to new ideas and methods. - Leadership isn’t investing into good software to keep the team organized and profitable. - Some of the teams work late nights, long weekends and these are rarely planned moments. You are expected to just call home and tell your family you’ll be missing dinner & bedtime tonight so you can get the work done. - Poor work/life balance. - Healthcare is very expensive for a family. Know the costs before you agree to a wage. - PTO doesn’t increase enough with loyalty and time served. - High turnover (more than half the company in the past 2 years) due to burn out, work/life balance issues and this job causing problems for the families of its employees. - What is “sold” in the interview process doesn’t always line up with reality. - Too many meetings. - Lack of paid for training & educational opportunities. These seem to come at employee’s expense. - Overly confident leadership who don’t have enough outside guidance on being successful as a larger company than they are, often guided by what used to work when they were smaller. - You will be listened to, but not heard and those conversations rarely bring action that’s implemented and supported. - No bonus structure. They had one and the team got paid out and they immediately took it away and promised to reimplement a plan and haven’t in an entire year of work. - Leadership team seems to have little influence to owners decisions. - Women employees have been recently & publicly been called “the girls,” by leadership/ownership. - Lack of diversity in the workplace.
