Teamwork is apparently a core value, but actually working in a team environment is discouraged and frowned upon and looked at negatively.
Pay is low and not commensurate with work rendered. Annual pay increases are minimal and rarely keep pace with inflation.
Shop is very hot (120F), very little is done to help keep employees cool. Had to purchase my own equipment to keep cool after existing equipment broke/was not replaced in a timely fashion.
Difficult to go to medical appointments due to work hour scheduled during premium working week hours. use of sick time frowned upon. Vacation is usual option for doctors appointments.
Specialized tools are not readily available, or if they are, are worn out/broken. Takes lots of persuading to get new needed items.
technicians who should have been disciplined for hostile behavior towards others have been allowed to continue negative behavior, sometimes creating a dangerous working environment by throwing tools, threatening violence and being highly unpredictable.
lead technician assume employees are mind readers and becomes unhappy when "telepathy" fails.
Continually looking over shoulders and criticism of work done by others.
Shop is cluttered, dirty, disorganized
Lots of unhealthy pairing and bonding in way of clichés, leading to an "us vs them" workplace hostile environment.
Had to use a lot of personal hardware to meet deadlines due to hardware not readily available. Each nut, bolt, washer must be ordered and not kept on a working stock basis for company owned rental equipment.
Lots of egos to deal with, warehouse workers hate their jobs so much they take it out on technicians by being argumentative, sarcastic, condescending and deceitful.
Too many unhealthy behavior to be an effective workplace for sane people.
Do not work for this dysfunctional company.
