Cole-Technologies-Group

There are a few genuinely great people at Cole who try hard to make things work—but they’re overshadowed by a toxic culture and poor leadership. Blame-shifting is common, especially toward lower-level employees. The environment is cliquey, and constructive ideas are often dismissed with a condescending tone.

A majority of management, especially in IT, lacks basic competence. IT security practices were very careless. Due to the lack of competence, I had to take on responsibilities far beyond my role, while the department director barely contributed and took all credit.

Cole has potential, but major changes are needed. Until leadership starts supporting their people and creating a healthier work culture, I can’t recommend working here. In my opinion, it might be too late for any major changes to be effective. 


Management treats hourly workers like migrant factory workers.  Management keeps close watch over hourly workers with strict time-clock rule adherence and the placement of in-house cameras, which is constantly viewed.     Uninspiring management culture starting from the top.   Employees are friendly and I made friends there.  I was under paid as an Office Engineer and stayed longer than I should.  My outgoing personality was misleading.  I was happy when I left.  After three years of my resignation, I had to express my opinion.  The location of the office is also an issue.   I pretended to be happy.

No career advancement as stated in interviewing process. No raises. Very poor management. Multiple departments with no clear directive, a company that spends more time pointing the finger than resolving the issues at hand. Ever heard the saying “ your just a number “ this company will have you feeling that way each and every day. No recognition of an employees hard work and dedication to work. Work not equally distributed. Too busy worrying where people are or are not parking than real issues on hand. Favoritism is a huge part of this company make sure you get in with the “right” group. 

Don’t count everyone out though there are people who will help and guide and work with you. 

Like most companies a good worker gets reward with more work a lazy worker gets the simplest job. No one gets the same treatment, in terms of compensation and the type of jobsites that you are sent, how you are treated it all depends on how you negotiate at the beginning and how bad do they need you when hired. Expenses are not paid, and if you get paid any is a bonus, which is taxable, the benefits are bad, medical insurance is expensive and worthless, they promise to match the 401K depending on if the company makes money, apparently, they never do.  

Not the worst place nor the best I have worked for.  No annual raises like almost all Special Inspection Agencies.  Only a raise if you tell them you are leaving or find another job.  Human resources department a disaster.  Have to pay entire medical bill for a specialist because health insurance is really only catastrophic insurance.  Plan on paying for half of your prescriptions.  Employee 
safety not practiced....you better buy your own equipment.   Only good thing is you are pretty much left alone.

I leant a lot about the construction company.  Engineers would upload their reports into the system where I would log in and retrieve them.  Type up the reports and make the necessary amendments.  The reports would then be signed by the supervisor and sent out the companies.

The employees are supportive and friendly.  My coworkers and supervisor thoroughly trained me to have a full understanding of my job. This place will hire new grads, unlike other companies who want someone with experience.

Beware: they pay entry level engineers extremely low (you earned your degree, you deserve better); the office manager is condescending and power hungry. Billing department gossips all day. PEs hide away in their office avoiding contact and responsibility. 

Great place to learn all about all aspects of all disciplines of Engineering.
Have learned everything from HVAC systems, Fire Protection, Plumbing, Insulation, Fire rated construction, etc

Good pay. Great support staff. Any problems are taking care of immediately. Question are answered and response time is quick. All in all I good company to work for.
