Clifford Power Systems

I have worked for Clifford Power Systems for 2 years, and genuinely enjoy my job. Leadership has a strong focus on company culture and works hard on maintaining/improving it. 
Any dislikes are based on typical issues that come with the territory - sometimes there is a breakdown in communication, lack of follow through due to other things taking priority, and inevitable restructuring that has to happen in order for the company to change and grow. These are all issues that come up with most companies and are unavoidable, especially when there are multiple locations and many factors effecting the market. 
The company does have many fun events - employee appreciation breakfasts/lunches, holiday related events, participation in local events, and strives to make this a fun place to work. 
Overall, Clifford Power is a great company to work for, feels very family oriented and management has an open door policy and is always available when needed. As a working parent, I don't feel the stress of having to choose between where I'm needed, which was an issue with my previous employer.

The work and different equipment that you get hands-on with acts as valuable experience for those seriously looking to making power generation a career, but management at this specific location was very spotty and sometimes lacking. There was not enough hours to go around, and the most senior technicians were taken care of while those that were newer got menial work. The position was advertised in the interview as 40+ hours average a week, but I only got 40+ for a period of two or three weeks before it got slashed.

On another note, it was mentioned often to keep non-chargeable hours down, but when there is not enough work for the techs, it is essentially the same as saying that if there is no scheduled work, go home because sitting at the office means getting paid for the inability to schedule enough work.

Finally, the rumor and gossip mill here was full-on alive. Be careful what you said in passing or in jest because it would be twisted or even misrepresented.

Clifford Power is a great company to work for! Co-workers are very dedicated to doing the right thing and I appreciate working with high performers. There is not a lot of micro-management and people that are most successful are those self-motivated with a strong work ethic. The owners of the company are dedicated to their staff, ethical and are community service focused which sets the foundation for the company culture. We are in a strong growth mode so there are significant opportunities for individuals that are willing to work hard and apply themselves. There are many fun company activities and a common theme is 'when we meet we eat!'  My co-workers are very supportive of each other and extremely good at what they do. One thing I particularly appreciate is the commitment to work/family life balance and unless one is on call, it is rare for people to work extended hours.

In the mornings I receive a job dispatch ticket on where to go and what service needs to be performed on the generator(s). Working for Clifford Power I have learned how to troubleshoot and make repairs to various makes and models of generators in industrial, commercial and residential applications. I attended air-cooled and commercial certification training in Tulsa Oklahoma where I became a certified General generator technician. My co-workers are a great group of people to work with, always willing to lend a helping hand. Whether giving kudos or bringing up safety concerns during service meetings its always a positive work environment. The part I enjoy most about this job is going to different locations all throughout the state of Missouri and some out of state work.

Engaged, Empowered, Excellent, Fun, Passionate, Responsible, Safe, Innovative

As a Clifford employee, these are the core values that we strive for each day that we show up to the office, and it's what makes this a collaborative and rewarding environment. To put it simply, we work as a team to ensure continuous power for our customers, and I place a heavy emphasis on the word "team." I've been employed with Clifford for 17 years and have held several positions during this time. When someone asks what makes this a great place to work, my response is always the same: our people. In my time here, this has always been a family environment with a strong belief in the importance of work/life balance.

Service Technician typical day involves receiving service assignment, travel to site, completion of job, and return to service office to prep for next day. Company believes in providing high level service, training, paying employees well, providing excellent benefits, and good service equipment (service trucks, cabling, rental equipment, etc.) Managers will stop and ask how your day is going, are easy to talk to, always have open doors, and interact with dignity, always cordial. Co-workers are well trained and knowledgeable, and more than willing to share knowledge or lend a hand when needed. Most enjoyable part of the job was doing something a little different every day, and making a positive difference for the customer. The hardest part of the job was leaving.

What is the best part of working at the company?
The leadership team cares about the people that work there.  The culture varies some by branch, but I loved working at the Oklahoma City branch.  That team is first class and a lot of fun.  Good people throughout the organization.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
They are growing quickly and systems have lagged behind making some tasks more difficult than they need to be. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Great place to work.  You are well taken care of if you take care of your part.  

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Seek and destroy!  Cultivate new customers, nourish existing relationships and find new opportunities.

This is a really good company to work for. They have a family first attitude. There is not a typical day at work in this company since it is a power generation company. I get to work with different types of units on a daily basis. I have learned how to use my skills to assist in several areas of the company form parts, service, assisting techs in the field with different situations, to new equipment. The management is more of a solutions team and is designed as a Leadership team. they really work together to better the company. the customers are truly enjoyable and some have become like family.

 I’ve been working for the San Antonio branch over a year and have loved it for the whole ride. I think the happiness of employees starts from the top, down. Management at my branch is the best I’ve ever worked for. The leadership team is very considerate of what happens outside of the work place to keep Clifford employees happy. As a whole, if you voice a concern at Clifford, you can bet it’ll be addressed in a timely manner. All in all, Clifford is an amazing place to be a part of

What started as a really good job a few years back has declined over the last year and a half. Company has opened new locations in recent years but does not allow a full staff in each location, and puts that additional workload on existing employees to cover several locations. This adds a tremendous amount of stress from being pulled in too many different directions. And your pay is not raised at all for the additional workload / stress.
