What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Most days are interesting if you know your trade !

STAY AWAY!! They will put you on a job for a couple days the leave you without work for weeks at a time. I have been employed about 3 months and the most I worked was 8 days on a job. They will tell you that you will have a job the next day, then completely ignore your text and calls for days on end. They will pretend they care about you but they do not. They have no respect for your time or wellbeing. CTS is the worst temp agency out there.

Management is HORRIBLE. They’ll put you on a job without letting the foreman know or else they’ll tell the foreman you work for them but not tell you where to go. Communication in this office is horrible. You can’t have any family members pass away without HR jumping down your back for missing a day. Honestly this place is a joke. It’s pathetic. They promise 40+ hours a week, but then you only receive 25 for working 5 days. It makes absolutely no sense. 

I have been an Electrician for 22 years and always said I would never work for a temp service.  But these guys changed my mind. I have nothing but positive things to say about my experience. They paid me fairly, and keep me busy.  I've learned over the years that is whats most important in the construction trades.  If I ever have a problem, the folks at the office are there to help me.  And the Christmas party was great.  I have never worked for a company that did that much for their employees during the holidays

You got the skills to pay the bills you will always have work they will look out for you get you on the job asap. As a Electrician we are always learning somthing new be mindful about it take pride in your work make it your own, you do that this company will have you working. People are very nice in the Office any situation your in they treat you like your family try their best to help you out very Friendly & Family Oriented.
