Pros

I love working here and doubt I could find work as fulfilling and interesting in this field. Also, my coworkers are my friends and we respect and support each other.

Cons

Coffman fosters a culture of workaholics. It is hard to create a healthy work life ballance working at coffman. They start junior engineers off down this path early on. This is due to small amounts of vacation time and overtime being given back to the employee in the form of straight time (not time and a half). Hours worked extra = hours able to be taken off. Couple that with only a small amount of vacation time given to employees with under 15 years af Coffman, and you get workaholics. I'm sure it is far, far worse at other companies though.

Coffman Engineers Response

I am glad you enjoy working here and have found rewarding projects to work on. Obviously not too stoked about the workaholic cultural reference. Really sorry to hear that is your experience/perception. We do sincerely desire people to achieve a sustainable work/life balance. We continually evaluate our PTO program to make sure it is competitive in the market place. The fact that we pay our exempt employees for every hour worked (straight time for overtime) is fairly unique in the industry. If we can bill an hour. You should get paid an hour. That just seems right. Let us help you with the work/life balance. Thanks for the comment - Dave Ruff, CEO
