Pros

A. New facility with plenty of amenities B. Most employees can enjoy flexible hours and PTO C. Booming industry that will allow for plenty of growth in the near future

Cons

A. Low pay that is not comparable to companies in similar industries. The benefits offered do not make up for this. Benefits are relatively common and nothing spectacular. B. Clique-like in nature (specifically amongst low level employees) C. It appears that if a fellow colleague is well-liked, they can get away with more (office politics play a big role here). Things tend to be evaluated on a case by case basis. D. Bending work place norms (i.e. M/F employees in mid management and support roles fraternizing). Competitors in similar markets do not allow this kind of behavior and there are harsh consequences. E. Family company with plenty of family members working amongst employees. I personally don't want me workplace to resemble a family. F. Members of the executive team will do rounds to ensure employees are working. Babysitting your employees will not keep the good ones.

Pros

Pros of the job would be that I am employed which I am thankful for. The health benefits are good.

Cons

Only 7 holidays whereas most companies give 11-13. They stress family-oriented environment w/Christian family values yet we work Good Friday. Oh, the irony there. They micromanage (EX. walk around often to see if you are working, and etc) Micromanage as if they are running a daycare.

Pros

They are doing great things for the neighborhood.

Cons

If you are looking to work at Power & Tel take the reviews with a grain of salt. CHECK THE DATES. My guess is after a few years of people telling the truth about the work enviornment someone in HR or somewhere else in the company took note and sent out a request to their long time employees who have drank the Kool Aid to please go make the reviews better. Look at the dates of the last 20-25 reviews, they all come in waves almost as if someone has it in their outlook calandar to send this alert out every 6 months.
