APG Electric, Inc.

I felt like an outsider and in fact was called a peon by my boss, I also was paired with very judgemental and cold co-workers.  The company had very poor organization and everyone was related to someone at the company and if you weren't if was very awkward.  If there was someone that didn't care for you there was no hesitation between employees to talk about you and to tell everyone how awful you were.  Even though you showed up on time, had incredible work ethic and was determined to be successful in your position if a journeyman had any problem with you at all you were very poorly treated.  If you were even the slightest green you weren't trained at all and you were just treated poorly, even asking questions was looked as an annoyance. Your opinion didn't matter in the slightest.  The company was absolutely overflowing with drama. They also displayed huge favoritism.

A typical day is about 8 hrs, workload is reasonable, help is available if needed, there are in house perks to keep you refreshed, fellow employees are happy to lend a hand, an ear, educate and spend time. 
Lessons learned so far is to not be afraid of HR, ask for what you need, don't be shy to speak up, and don't be disappointed if your ideas and wants (not needs) aren't met to your ideal. 
Management is always evolving and training for the better.
Culture is balanced. The "family" atmosphere is what you make of it. Hurricane season is always a, "get what you can get done for APG, but go and prep your home and family ASAP." And we all get checked in on after the storms. It's a kind work environment, but working hard is a must. 
Hardest part here I think is the hardest part at any place. Personalities.
Best part, people tend to stay.

Good place to stay for a long time if you go to any division except construction side the job site Management team is really rude and incompetent.  To advance you need to snitch your co workers and be a really rude person. Great company really but some superintendents and foreman's need to GO so more good electricians would like to actually stay , no one likes to wake up every morning knowing that you have to work with people that have a disgusting attitude and expect you to work at your 200% every single day when they don't even start with a 5%. Doesn't promote motivation to stay around in such toxic people. It's a shame that a good company like this has such poor quality management on the field , instead of chasing money they should first consider the moral of their management which affect their employees every day.

The company has changed  A LOT in the past five years or so and it's a lot bigger now, but the overall family-feel is still there.  Training is a big deal and management gives lots of opportunities to sign up for free classes and is always encouraging us to reach out for higher certifications.  If you put in the work and study hard they will pay for extra education/courses you want to take, which is pretty cool.  I don't really know how the pay stacks up against other companies because I started here as an apprentice and worked my way up, but the benefits are pretty good.  The health insurance is actually affordable, they have a gym open to everybody that wants to use it, and I got four weeks of paid vacation when I hit ten years.  Overall I'm super happy here and have ZERO plans to leave.

This company is great. A lot of awesome projects. I got along with everyone that I worked with and I learned a lot and really sharpened my skills. The annual trips to theme parks were incredible. Pay was great. they compensate you accordingly whenever you hit a milestone. There was plenty of overtime available. Some jobs were a bit of a drive but drive time was paid so it wasn't so bad. I would gladly still work here if I didn't move away. This company does listen to its employees and offers a lot more perks that I didn't mention. Highly recommended for any motivated electrician.

Worked with this company for about 1-1/2 and I've got nothing but mistreatment from the Superintendent and Foreman/Lead. And, also if your apart of the Apprenticeship program you would have to drive 1-1/2 for lab when there's schools closer to your home. Online classes suck!!! We would have to redo the same pipe runs several times a day after leads lay your work out. Overall the company itself is a great company. But the management and schooling sucks!!! But don't take my word for it find out for yourself how poorly this company is managed.

Helpers are treated with no respect from lead data technicians. I was constantly yelled at by a lead technician for no reason, and he's been with the company for 30 years. I spoke to head of the data voice department about the issue and he could care less. Treat your helpers with respect or we will leave. On another note, people will try setting you up and then call your superintendent to get you written up. Company culture here is beyond horrible.

I have worked for this company for over 5 years now, doing multiple scopes of work ranging from fire alarm, security,CCTV, and electrical. They have put me through school, where I became a licensed Journey Electrician as well as a Certification for NICET Level II Fire Alarm. I work a second job and they allow the flexibility I need to do so. They treat me like a person with tailored needs for my individual family.

I've learned a lot about electrical and even more about fire alarm since I have worked here mostly due to my fire alarm super. The hardest part of the job is that there is no local work as of late and seems to be none in the close future. I am not about driving 200 miles a day to go to work each day and spend about 13 hours a day for work and not be compensated in any fashion. I am ready to see what else is out there and see what other companies have to offer.

Bunch of good ol boys with their feet kicked up on their desks talking about the good ol days. 
Poor culture. Poor management. Poor time management and scheduling. Alot of unfulfilled promises upon hiring. Grunt work. Not much room for growth. 10 year company veterans digging holes while the beer belly collar shirts sip their coffee and watch. Alot of disgruntled employees talking bad about the company.
