Honest Review - Anonymous employee Elecheck Employee Review

There were no pros for working for this company

Terrible company to work for. It's not unusual for the engineers to be expected to be up on the road at 3am to 4am, drive 3 to 4 hours then do work, then have the 3 to 4 hour drive home. Underpaid and underappreciated sums up the companies view of their employees, everyone is seen as replaceable. There is no real chance for progression Wasn't uncommon to drive 3 hours to a job to find out it was already done. When jobs have been cancelled the office staff have lied to the cilent and when I've turned up on site I have been informed the cilent was told my wife was in a car accident that's why I didn't turn up, when the truth was the office told me not to go to the job. As a whole avoid working for this company, they will grind you into the ground and make you unwell, then complain when you need a rest day. I meet some good engineers in the field but this company as a whole is appalling Sub contractors have been refused payment even when jobs were completed, I know of several Sub contractors elecheck used but elecheck haven't paid them... some are owed thousands This company will drain your work/life balance your expected to work yourself to the bone for them and they won't even give your the contractoral pay review.

Only one. Some fantastic people who work for the company - shame about the management.

Oh where to start with the negatives. First of all only getting 1 star rating as it website would not allow me to submit 0 and I can't do negative numbers and the "positive review was clearly the MD. News flash no one is buying it!! The management think it is acceptable to not pay staff then lie and say it is a clerical error. Then avoid calls or emails No overtime incentive (in fact no incentive/bonuses full stop). People within the company have good ideas for improvement and growth but are ignored and in some cases spoken down to because of the MD's outdated practices. For example told not to recruit people with tattoos. Poor leadership and management. Certain people only in positions of authority because they either own or are "friends " with the owner. Others are only there because they are very good at deflecting blame. Morale of workforce is the lowest of any company/organisation I have ever worked for. I could go on but in short DO NOT WORK FOR THIS FARCE OF A COMPANY
