Pros
Emergency Manager Patrick Steciuk was great to work with. He is probably the only reason most people don't leave the company immediately. Their wages and values for employees are fine if you are looking for entry level experience in water damage. if they send you to a far away site at the end of the day, they will cover partial travel time for return trip. wasn't an asbestos company disguised as a flood company. They are good about maintaining most of the work vehicles.
Cons
company decisions and HR seem to all be done by admin staff with who havent set foot on a jobsite for the past ten years, or ever, they are desk staff who you will never meet. If you've worked in skilled labor or trades run by this, you can know what to expect. they have six month probation pay. high employee turnover. When I took leave just before the end of my (six month) probation, the most senior, non-supervisory employee was someone I was still training during my own probation. low balled my experience for probation as I hadn't been in the industry for some time, then at the end of six months they wont even give raises to match inflation (company policy on wage increase limits) I came with years of prior experience, formal WRT training, and this doesn't matter if your running bigger high end sites with multiple crews and picking up the slack for the things some of their project managers fail to do. Never saw the owner in six months. contents division is there, but was all new employees after exodus of old employees. expect year end bonuses for working staff to look like sandwich shop cards that get a free sandwich for whoever gets them. They will try to make you pay to wear their uniforms, (not legal). The uniforms were so incredibly cheap, people were consistently working in ripped pants, nobody working seemed to have fully functioning pants at one point.
