Dycom Industries, Inc

Dycom has amazing personalities. I've never seen anyone raise a voice at dycom. Everyone treats everyone with civility at dycom. 

With that being said, Dycom is a terrible place to work. The management is terrible. Upon being hired by the company, I noticed there's  There's an stench of overtime permeating. Breaks aren't really respected and viewed as an inconvenience. No one tells or berates you at Dycom. They find other ways to make you feel insignificant as an employee while at the same time making you feel like your work is super important and cannot wait. Even though the management mismanagement are making your work late, and causing overtime in the first place.

Pros : you get to work in an environment that you will learn a lot. It can shape you as a professional from the good habits.

Cons:
workplace politics, miscommunication or no communication. Micromanagement at the same time mismanagement. That's incredible. How can a place micromanage yet have a mismanagement issue? ?? That's dycom culture for you. It's all over the place. 

Dycom employs people you can see yourself hanging out with. Outside of work the people appear to be good people. But dycom is like the kid who's a nice kid in the classroom but the kid who doesn't participate in the group project. 


You work for almost 50 hours a week and get paid peanuts, you are only allowed to be off 2 days a week even with holidays...So if your usual schedule Has a Wednesday and Saturday off and a upcoming holiday is on a work day...they would want you to give up the following Wednesday or Saturday to make up that holiday.   So if you get Labor Day (Monday) off then they will have you work either that Wednesday or Saturday which is trash....They call you at 7:00 am every morning but you don’t officially clockin until 7:30 but don’t get paid until you complete your first job. The benefits are expensive and don’t cover much. You do a lot of work that you don’t get paid for like spending time at the which is hours you not getting paid for. You are basically doing cable at minimum wage and it’s not worth it....You don’t get paid for drops in trouble calls and they nickel and dime you for how you close it out. I wouldn’t recommend it for anybody 

The opportunity to work remotely is a perk. Teammates were hardworking and willing to help with issues/tickets as they arose. You’ll have the chance to learn a vast amount due to the scope of work.
Burn out is a real thing here due to the constant after hours weekday work. The on call schedule is horrific. Prepare to be called all night long and report to work the next day with little to no sleep. You will be working 60-70 hours on average while on call (not including surprise weekend work). The inability to communicate and schedule weekend work in advance is a reoccurring theme. Management’s expectation is for you to work all of these hours with no comp time or additional pay. Good luck scheduling meetings with coworkers due to the insane and chaotic pace of work. Retention is an issue due to a third of the group leaving in the past year.

Finance management team from higher ups to lowly managers treat you like dirt!  You get major attitude from them!  Expect to work long hours and be expected to meet unrealistic deadlines.  Company plays favorites and could care less about you!  There is absolutely no loyalty!  They won't hesitate to axe you on the spot even though you were a high performer and got excellent reviews!  CEO and management constantly waste your time and efforts by changing their minds on project paths on a daily basis.   Pay not bad but I'd stay away!  Life is too short for their bull!

Dycom Industries is a really great company to work for. Dycom has a very supportive environment where everyone is valued for the work they complete and they are constantly making sure that their employees are given the proper training to be successful. Depending on your position within the company, Dycom allows you to work in person or remote. Dycom also provides many healthcare, insurance, and 401k benefits to all employees who work there. As an IT Support intern, I was given so many great opportunities and both my manager and supervisor were supportive of me and my success. The IT Support team was also really supportive and would always help out if I ever had any questions or concerns while I was working.

Best practices have been ignored and any attempt to suggest improvements have been met with defensiveness and derision. Any opportunity to grow and advance has been squashed in this toxic culture. inflated egos, office politics and administrative incompetence would prove to be bigger obstacles. These dynamics are not conducive to process-improvement, innovation, and productivity. Personnel are going cowboy without so much as a communication between team members and I have never been more ineffectively micromanaged in my entire career.

I was a remote employee, but that was largely part of the pandemic. The position was not remote before that. I was a permitting agent obtaining right-of-way use permits for one of their contracts, specifically with AT&T. My team was great. I really liked my boss and the team had a very healthy report. The issue was job security. Almost everyone working on that contract was laid off when it was nearing its end, from people like us to the construction project managers, workers, and even a couple of executives.

I’m Knowledgeable and resourceful since 2013 with the company. I help with denials for workers compensation claims and handling experience. I’m  Highly motivated to RUN investigations into legitimate claims for employees whom were hurt in the job. With an excellent record of success in winning settlements and reduction of claim payouts, I’m  disgusted with what I have to do for work and ruining familys lives. I hate doing this work and myself.Has a solid background in investigation and settlement of high exposure and complex claims.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Dycom is the umbrella corporation, and their Human Resources Department was very easy to get a hold of and was always quick to return an email.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
No matter where one works there will always be stressful moments. If your on a great team, your team members will help with the deadline stresses.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Depends on who you work for under the umbrella.

They lied about a big expansion to have me train my replacement.  Released me while on short term disability. Even better i worked from home to complete the big end of year push only to be told i had to move to short term disability the Monday after I cleared up that years work and our contract holder was super happy.  I was the only manager of 3 on this contract that completed the work.
