BAKER ELECTRIC

If you enjoy being screamed at in front of the entire office on a daily basis for things your boss was responsible for, this may be the job for you. Do you like free soda, a once-a-month catered lunch, and basic benefits with a solid salary? Well, these things all sound wonderful until you realize most employees are expected to work 10-16 hours a day at the office, then more from home at night, and use your personal car on a regular basis. You will be called into a hallway, or up in front of the entire divisional staff at the monthly meeting to be chewed out for something that was not your responsibility, or even a choice your boss made. They love to rake the new guys over the coals, and they will pile on the work until you go postal. The turnover rate at this company is insane, and for good reason. It's a horrid place to work. Best of luck future employees. Oh, and that retirement plan sounds great, but they lost everyone's money a couple of years ago.

Typical day in Baker Electric Pre Fab was bending pipe preparing or  pulling wire and building whatever was needed fro the field guys to just install and make the job easier and faster. Some of the stuff i learned in Pre Fab where bending pipe building cable trays, driving the boom, scissor, and forklift pulling wire and installing electrical boxes and preparing many stuff. The hardest part of the job was able to get the 4 inch rigid pipe in the bender in order for it to bend it. The most enjoyable part of the job was everyone liked everyone and treated everyone like family and nice place to work.

A typical day at work consists of coordinating with management on all tasks that are going to be done on a daily basis and ensure all proper procedures are going to be followed.  Ensure field foreman have all the tools and ppe to complete there job in a safe manner. Management on site and in the corporate office are dedicated to safety of there employees and I feel they do put safety as the number on priority.  The hardest part of my job is ensuring that all employees work injury free for the day.  The easiest is when I have good leadership surrounding me to accomplish my goals and Bakers goals to have a injury free workplace

When the company was smaller less than ten employees it was awesome to work for.
The more employees he got, The more he would push the workload on you. You'd have to figure out all the headaches with little help. But if you take too long on service calls. Start questioning you on your ability to troubleshoot.Even though you never got any callbacks for the same problem just a different job. 
 Felt like he was just filling your head up with more money and you permore task you never got thr raise or the bonus. 
But he sure got a in ground pool. I guess no hard feelings , Just my opinion

-Typical Day, assessing certify payroll reports for accuracy.  Convert with Project Managers on any issues of payroll report and provide update to the Supervisor of Certiy Payroll.
-What Learned, how certify payroll operates amoung union workers.
-Management, could be more communitive on areas of union and certify payroll accuracy.  
-Work culture, interesting - learned about the Electrical business 
-Hardest part of the job, not receiving good accurate information.
-Most enjoyable of the job, people were friendly

It has all the potential in the world if they could just get the right "leaders" on board. No diversity in leadership means no diversity in thought. Outdated "micro management methodologies" that wont keep up with the changing workers.
Strong micromanagement culture. 
They don't care about your growth and future.
Pay is low.
Basic benefits.


The BEST COMPANY I have EVER WORKED for by FAR.  Would love to become permanent with Baker Electric.  The employee's are very nice and welcoming.  They answered any and all of my questions regarding work issues I had being that I have never done this type of office work before.  I give this company 10 thumbs up for their outstanding and amazing ethics.

Most CWs you’ll meet on the job-site are working towards entering the apprenticeship for local 401. It can be aggravating to know that you are learning nothing each day as you hang solar panels while trying to become an electrician. It is a grind to work on a remote field with no per diem and a capped incentive. CWs also install the panels in two man crews, making the job more difficult and dangerous to save the company money. This also goes against the safety guidelines provided which require a three man crew.

I enjoyed my position with Baker Electric and the only time I felt let down was how they laid me off. I was told for months that they were going to hire me permanent; however when one of our other sights closed, they brought in a girl who was a field worker into the office because she wanted to change jobs and laid me off. I didn't understand why they would give up someone with the training and take someone who had none.

i learned how to run new circuits, wire hotels, did service work. The boss is very understanding, he will work with you if problems occur. He really cares for his employees. The hardest part of service work would be getting in hot attics and dirty crawl spaces. The most fun i experienced was traveling to new towns and states doing electrical work. The baker electric crew is very fun to work for, they have lots of laughs and smiles but also very serious about the work they do
