Avail Infrastructure Solutions

Working on the floor honestly wasn't bad. Majority of the people are easy to get along with. That's a plus since most of the work is done as a team. You do need to learn quick as it can be fast paced. Most of the work isn't too hard but there is heavy lifting on every job. Management there is a joke however. The team leads are good at what they do but anyone above that level is rather awful. There is also an unforgiving point system in place. If you are a minute late or even five, you will be pointed for missing half of your shift. This is hard if you have a long commute to work & several have been fired for it. Thing is there are a lot of contractors because of short staffing. The point system only makes that worse. Also the contractors coming in to do the same job as the employees get paid more. The work place is also does not adhere to the "equal opportunity employer" that they claim to so be aware of prejudice. They do have a somewhat decent schedule. They will tell you four 10 hour shifts mon-thurs but management heavily pushes for overtime all weekend, with mandatory Fridays. It's very common to see people work 7 days a week. So if you're okay with that & could use overtime pay, you may enjoy it there.

I worked slightly over 3 months at Avail. What I experienced was beyond disrespectful behavior from coworkers, and management seems to be oblivious to it. It's because they hire absolutely anyone. The training is the worst I've ever received from any job. Nobody wants you to succeed; they expect you to know how to be an electrician after 90 days. Expect to be micro managed. They do provide meals and have donuts or fruit every week, depending on the season, but that doesn't compensate for the awful pay. I don't see room for advancement, considering they don't give you the proper tools to succeed in the job you were hired for. Stay away from Avail in Pittsburg, Kansas.

A typical day at work  is putting out fires due to poor planning and poor management.  I learned that they pretend to care, but if you ask too many questions or point out flaws they will find a way to fire you.  The management is a clique - they are gossipy and have an out to get you mentality.  They are inappropriate and vindictive.  The culture is fake - they pretend to care but don't truly care - they are truly the thank you for your hard work, here's a pizza party, we hope you'll ignore our terrible attitude towards you and our unreasonable attendance policy and our utter disdain.  I hated going to work I didn't feel welcome or valued.  I am glad I'm no longer there.

Not here to bash, Avail is a good job I just like to stay busy. The training portion is very monotonous and dragged out. Lots of standing around watching, for weeks. Easy work, good coworkers and leads.  I just believe upper management should rethink their approach at training new hires and if hired as a welder, get them certified and working a lot faster. I strongly believe that would help with the turnover rate.  Overall not a bad place to work though. If you can get past the grueling training portion. Good pay, great benefits, company seems to want to take care of employees! 

At avail you will be asked to do things by one person but pulled off a job to go handle something else. Nothing you do makes since within the hours you are given and you are asked to work strict hours without knowing the schedule in advance. Just not a great place to work and nothing you do makes since as everything is all out of order. Would not recommend working for this company as you do not matter as a individual employee.

The management here is the not good at all. Managers in this place have no knowledge of what they are managing and the people they promote to supervisors have no knowledge of the work that is done here, and some have a had write ups for exactly what they are supposed to enforce. Wait until the new company comes in and fixes the current management before trying to work here.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
There's no work currently, and they expect you to stay busy. There's literally nothing to do and you get in trouble for not doing anything. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Abysmal. They care nothing for their people. You are merely a number to them, and only as good as what they can force upon you with no recompense.

Abusive, dishonest managers expect workers to perform the work of management, and management lies about future training and advancement. Communication to customers is used to punish workers for management's failure to plan appropriately for delivery. Customers are blamed for even potentially dangerous warranty issues. 

Upper management claims they "care" when they don't and only try to run you out of the place when they don't like you. You're given empty promises and are lied to about hours, scheduling, etc. Don't waste your time.
