Hey ya’lll ive got the opportunity to go to work for them. Its a much needed opportunity. However I dont know anyone there. The HR lady has struggled to answer some my questions and iv read a lot of mostly negative reviews Does anyone here know anything about them or anyone that works there that I might could contact? I would be a foreman on the pole inspector crew. I really appreciate it

Who gives a Chit? If you are doing better for yourself then who cares? Evidently you were looking for a job when you went there so you can always be looking for another job. It kills me the way the young or youth treat a job nowadays. Most places don’t give a crap ass about who you are or longevity. They just want you there for five minutes and then the next person up. You are always going to read the negativity.

I think I would take that job over my nursing job. Just let me know and I’ll take it off your hands.

To start with Im not a youth. Im not trying to find out if they give me floating holiday so I can take off on my birthday . My questions and concerns are legitimate. Healthcare cost, coverage, retirement (benefits )etc. they have overwhelmingly bad reviews on this. HR cannot or will not answer my questions. And they skirt around some other questions I have. They tell me that I’ll find all that out after Im hired on. I think this is pretty important to know before hand. Depending on that I may not be “bettering “ myself. So in no way shape or form did you even remotely begin to answer my question. Why did you even bother to comment? Bored much? Too much free time maybe?

I come from the power utility world…osmose used to have a program..and this was how all their crews worked..everybody that hires on begins working toward becoming a foreman..i forget..it takes like 2 years then they put you over a crew or something like that. They pay pretty well…but ive known quiet a few people who worked on the inspection crews and every single one hated their life..high turnnover..and not the best quality folks workin cause nobody decent will stay..the low men get worked like rented mules regardless of age or experience and it is hard work so ive been told..and you are expected to get so much done a day and if you fall short there is penalties and punishments. I saw a crew in tusvaloosa that went from like 5 guys to 2 guys in the span of about 4 days…they send you all over..etc. I aint tryin to scare you..im just bein honest about the experience ive had with people who worked for them…i will say they pay very well from what i hear and that is the most attractive thing that hooks most folks..i applied one time when i was about 20 an it seems like they paid about $20/hr then..that was 10 years ago…and thats actually not to far removed from my exposure to them personally..its been awhile so things could have changed for the better. I wish you luck…but that foreman thing…best i can remember..that is the same hiring tactic they use on everbody…every job listing i have ever seen has been a foreman for a pole inspection crew…that..as a matter of fact is what i applied for and turned down…it wudnt what it seemed to be…its been years..so i may be wrong

I appreciate it. As far as i can tell they don’t offer crewman jobs themselves. Hiring of the crew is left up to the foreman. And it does pay well but some things just aren’t adding up. So im leery about it. Thanks for your honesty

If HR can't or won't answer questions that's a big red flag. I would not work for a company like that.
