Toxic - Helpdesk Technician EMCOR Group (UK) Employee Review

Some thing idk they are good

Big company a lot of politics

Company morale has teetered on the brink of "hey we're doing okay" and "yikes this place is going down" for the past five years I've worked here. I've been fortunate enough to miss the mass layoffs, and to have worked with some absolutely amazing people, both immediate colleagues and subcontractors (some of which are interesting characters). There's usually not a dull moment, especially if you work in Operations during snow season. Flexible work/life balance--although that's dependent upon who your supervisor is.

The opportunity to advance is dependent upon who taps you on the shoulder and encourages you to apply. It's frustrating to see people move up who many not necessarily deserve a promotion. Those who want to learn more, gain more training, and have a sincere desire to move up the ranks tend to be overlooked if they don't have a "buddy" higher up. One particular department is "the boys club" meaning there are no women who work on the management team. Very discouraging.
