Barts Electric

Be careful trusting the overly positive reviews. In my experience, employees were encouraged at company meetings and even at company events to leave positive online reviews using QR codes. The way it was presented made it feel like the company wanted 5-star reviews more than honest feedback.

The “family culture” message felt like a sales pitch, not reality. My experience was that leadership cared far more about protecting the image of the company than actually listening to employees or fixing the problems inside the business.

The leadership style felt toxic, top-down, started with the owner and his family. Employees were expected to be loyal, but I did not feel that same loyalty was returned. Promises around bonuses and incentives were discussed, but in my experience, the follow-through did not match what was communicated. 

This was one of the most stressful and discouraging, abusive  work environments I have been part of. If you are looking for transparency, appreciation, real leadership, or a healthy culture, I would strongly recommend looking elsewhere.


Leadership. The culture is built around fear, blame, and control. Problems are not handled like opportunities to improve. They are turned into finger-pointing, intimidation, and public embarrassment. You can give years of loyalty and effort, but the second you are no longer useful or you question something, you find out how little that loyalty meant.

Very VERY toxic and top-heavy. Employees are expected to take pressure, disrespect, and poor communication while leadership avoids real accountability. There is a strong “do what you’re told and don’t speak up” feeling. Concerns are often treated like personal attacks instead of legitimate issues.

The company talks about loyalty and family, but it does not feel that way when employees are treated as replaceable. The culture rewards people for staying quiet, not for being honest or improving the business.

Contract ended with another job so applied with Barts and got hired. My hours were 4pm-1230am. Not even a week later I had a guy I previously worked with during another contract (he ended up getting fired from the other employer) be put in charge of us all...He was lazy, complained about everything, and didnt know what he was doing which is why he was fired from the last job. We only got a 30min dinner break-no other breaks were given, even during our 10hr days, I was 2mins late after a break and got yelled at. I got yelled at because i took off my hat/glasses when I used the bathroom. They dont care about their employees and treat them like dirt. All they care about is working non stop!

This could be a good company to work for, if you kiss the right ***. I worked for those company for a little over 2 years. They talk a good game but when its time, they don't really care. A lot of jobs are out of town or at least an hour away from where you live. The owner has people come out and work on his personal multi million. There is no advancement in the company unless your now of their favorites and the pay is a joke compared to a lot of other places and there are hardly any pay raises dollar house. ThThey talk about bonuses

Favoritism system in place and strangely encouraged, refusal to transfer of employee upon request, poor management of site and employees and work load, incorrect information to do our job, ignored when asked a question or told it's fine go ahead, only to berate and demand answers when work was incorrect because of their previous attitude to it,troublesome or lazy employees they are good friends with get to  do nothing screw over the team, and make it everyone else's problem but the lazy team lead due to favoritism. I highly do bot recommend this company 

I started at Bart’s not knowing anything about electrical work. They have helped me every step of the way. More than anything else, they build people. It’s not perfect, but it’s a great place to work. Very good pay, bonuses, company parties, health insurance, huge 401k match, 4 years of apprentice school, vacation. They care about me. The bad reviews are people who were fired for good reason. If you talk to the people who work hard, they will tell you Bart’s is one of the best. I love it here and I’m not the only one. If you are lazy, or selfish, or come in late all the time, then you won’t like it here. We all expect a lot at Bart’s.

What is the best part of working at the company?
They lie to you everyday.  Promise everything to you but never deliver.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
They never have enough help or experience people. No help from your project manager.  You're second year they want you running projects.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Stressed and toxic. Very controlling. You have to call in to task an time to tell management what you did that day. They trust know one.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
You work your long hard for being under paid.

This company has really gone down hill. They no longer take care of their employees. Everyone seems to dislike working here any more. You can tell because nobody that has been there for very long have quit because they are tired of all of their bs. I would never recommend working for Bart's. They will tell you what you want to hear and then turn around and stab you in the back. They have no wirk in the Kansas city area. And all of there Forman will throw you under the bus just to make them selves look good.

They make Promises to get you there and then they back out of them.  I had to contact the office multiple times and every time they told me they would work on it and at the end they finally told me that they wouldn't keep there word and they wouldn't fire me either that way I couldn't collect unemployment.  If you have the option I would avoid this company PERIOD!!!!. In the short time I was there I witnessed more safety issues on a almost daily basis with there other apprentices then I've ever seen elsewhere 

Bart’s is a great place to work, they care about each other, if someone has a personal problem they pass the hat to help. They include the entire family buy Christmas gifts for every persons children we get Christmas cash that I use to buy Christmas with. The leaders care about the team. They truly build each other, I will retire with this company 4 weeks vacation 100% match on 401k, health insurance life insurance.  They treat people the way they want treated.
