EMCOR

My focus was on sales of facility management services and professional engineering services for buildings and properties.  I joined many organizations to network and called on facility managers or owners to determine interest in our services. I would then respond to RFP's coordinating with the technical engineers and managers in my company.

When I took over account management of our largest accounts, I called on all levels of the client's staff from senior vice presidents to property managers.  My major client had more than 30 million square feet of office space and several hundred residential buildings, so there were many levels of buyers with whom I worked.   
 
I learned so much about building systems, building engineering, building maintenance, energy management, landscape management.  I was able to produce marketing materials on these topics including monthly bulletins to inform property managers how to make choices on these topics.  

Management was, for many years, serious about helping employees to succeed.  It was a bit too male centered since least 90% of employees and 98% of upper management being men.  Nevertheless there were some really smart, really capable people there.  When EMCOR purchased the company, management suffered. There were shakeups at the top; there was confusion on messaging and many local people were being replaced by headquarters staff.  This was not handled very well, and seemingly, replacement managers were inept in dealing with the workforce. 

My co-workers were among the best in the industry and for the most part, willing to engage in sales and marketing at my direction.  

The hardest part of my job was identification of potential clients and interesting the client in our services.  Lots of networking and a certain amount of cold calling is always the tough part of any sales job.   

The most enjoyable part of the job was making presentations, and closing the deal!

If you are a licensed journeyman you can find much better companies to work for. Their pay is low and the medical benefits are the most expensive Ive seen. They offered no sick time. So if you are out sick they require you to use any vacation time you may have then require you to provide a doctors note. After taking a pay cut (due to medical benefit costs)when my group was taken over by Viox Services I asked for a raise. My manager replied stating I would have to take on more work even though he agreed I was the lowest paid tradesman on site. He also stated that what I was asking for was a significant raise and he probably wouldnt be able to get it for me. I explained to him that I was aware they just hired a guy to perform the same work as me at $6 more an hour. And that it turned out he couldnt perform at the same level as me and that Viox decided to part ways with him. After being declined by my manager for the raise multiple times I decided to post my resume and explore my options. Within a few months after alot of interest from other employers I had an offer on the table for exactly what I requested from Viox. The same dollar amount that my manager at Viox argued was above the average for my trade and the area Im working in. So I turned in my two week notice letting my manager know that I was doing what was best for my family and it was not personal. A few days later they suddenly believe they can pay me the hourly rate Im looking for and put the offer on the table. At that point it was too late. I had an offer on the table that included just as good a pay rate as they were now offering plus more vacation time, cheaper medical benefits, and included sick time. After politely turning down Viox Services offer my manager acted very immaturely and didnt speak to me the final two weeks of my service there.

First off these Dover, NJ EMCOR jobs that are advertised are not actually EMCOR, it is an EMCOR subsidiary called Viox Services, which is a maintenance contract company who is presently at Alcoa-Howmet since August 2011 located in Rockaway NJ on Roy Street , their mailing address is Dover but the job is actually in Rockaway. Second, Viox Services have the worse benefits package and policies I ever saw. No sick days or personal days, no paid holidays for the first 6 months you work for them, lousy vacation time, and the worse medical benefits package I ever saw in my life which will cost an employee with a family $750 a month out of their own pocket if they want medical benefits for them and their family. And if that’s not bad enough, they expect you to be on call 24/7 but they don’t pay a shift differential or more then time an a half for overtime. So in other words if you work 7 days a week you only get time and a half for the entire week including Sunday. Their answer to that is, “There is no law we pay more then time and a half over 40 hours, so we don’t”. And third, Alcoa-Howmet has horrible working conditions and their management rules over Viox Services management so what Alcoa say’s Viox does even if it means screwing over good employees. For example, Viox terminated 6 mechanics plus two mechanics left on their own within just the first 8 months they are at Alcoa, so what does that tell you? And it gets worse but there is too much to list so I will just say this..... do yourself a favor, don’t apply for any Dover NJ EMCOR job you see. Trust me you will regret it.

#1 you get what you put into a place. If you trash people now, we don't need (YOU).  If you notice most reviews on most places people sometimes one person ruins an entire crew. We have an excellent young manager putting excellent values into motion. Everyone I work with is top notch and takes there job personal. Our apprentice's are encouraged/ trained right along with techs in continuous education @ factory backed training centers. When I have an apprentice with me I don't treat them as "kid to lugg my tools around" never believed in that ideology and others here don't either. We laugh all day and dive into the next issue. 
  Sadly a "bad workplace" starts @ the top. I hope managers in other places read this. #1 do you tell your techs "Thank you"? How about the apprentice's? They matter too. #2 Just what kind of manager are you? Do you "talk about workers to your supervisors", we all know there are two types of talk. Constructive "talk"understanding that some guys are @ times difficult, aren't we all depending on life etc. "BUT" if your a manager or a tech / worker etc that is a trasher then "YOU" are destroying your workplace your environment your future. 
  NEMSI Trumbull as we call it tolerates none of this. If you don't agree look at the "OUTSIDE" of our door and stay on that side we don't need you. If you want to learn, work hard truly enjoy the trade and want to truly dive in and want a company that really is the real deal this is it. There is no better place.

Often running a team that does not have enough people to cover the workload, was advised to just require my salary employees to work longer shifts and to dedicate weekends instead of them hiring anyone else to assist with the workload. Team was expected to be a call center but also manage work orders anywhere from 150 to 200 each And these had to be updated every single day. They were also expected to make 20 outbound calls minimum a day. answer hundreds of emails. No formal training. No one knows how to do anything and often you find yourself trying to innovate how things will work for your account. Upper management is supposed to act like they have all the answers but they do not because if you ask them for guidance, they do not know how to help you. Senior upper management does not even know how any of the processes work and they do not understand how the individuals actually doing the work do their jobs. Senior upper management takes 200 work orders a day is acceptable and that anyone should be able to do it but realistically, it is because they have never done the work themselves so they do not know what it actually entails 

I have never quit and walked off of a job before, but after being here for almost 2 years I was to that point. I gracefully put in a two week notice only because I liked my team. 
I would never work here again. 

I really like working at this company. Well, New England Mechanical at least. In my branch, all the technicians get along great, I feel that my bosses/supervisors all treat me fairly and will listen or help when I have a problem. I also never get yelled at for anything, no one calls me all day telling me to hurry up, and if I need to leave early or come in late for anything, I never have to provide a reason, I just tell them that I'll be out early and all I get is a, "Okay, no problem! See you tomorrow!" I've worked for other companies and all I've ever gotten was a paycheck and a hard time. This company is great. The only issues I have is that the hourly pay, at least for me, is a bit lower than industry average. The benefits, lax atmosphere, good bosses/coworkers help even the playing field though. The other issue is how crazy the company has gotten on safety. I used to hang off rooftops with just an extension cord around my waist at my other companies, so trust me, I appreciate that the company has our backs with being safe. But it's too safe. Like I feel like I have to wear a faceshield during lunch in case mustard squirts out of my sandwich and a harness while I'm going to the bathroom in case I slip off the toilet. It's a bit much. 

All in all, love the company and want to work here for my whole career.

This is by far the WORST company I have ever worked for. There's a constant revolving door with people leaving and new faces. Most new hires don't stay longer than 6 months. Even the most recent program manager left after just 3 days! Management is extremely cutthroat and constantly playing the blame game and will blast you in emails to all the managers and even some customers as well! Highly unprofessional and hostile work environment. This used to be a fantastic place to work, but not anymore and I'm currently looking because of this. The benefits are utterly useless. And I had also saw in another review that they offer company functions. No. No they don't. Those functions are paid for by the employees. They will lie and cheat you any way they can. We recently got some incentive bebefits that they played off like they offered them out of the kindness of their hearts, but I had found out that because it's a government facility, those benefits were required to give under federal law, not out of the goodness of Emcors hearts. Furthermore, they enable lazy and incompetent technicians and chastise those that actually want to work and do the job right and rarely provide any actual training for certificates in many fields. Even when you ask for training that pertains to your job. Keep looking for another place. Abandon all hope, ye who enter here...

The job itself isn't too difficult. You do a variety of repairs from electrical, plumbing, carpentry, painting, and so on. Pretty much anything in and to a certain degree outside a building you see, you might fix. Although each day is different, there is a lot of the same things, clogged toilets, burnt out bulbs, inspections. You spend more time filling out forms, taking pictures, driving, than you do actually fixing. Then no matter what you do, it's wrong. No support from management, company doesn't care about the mobile mechanics even though they are the reason the company makes money. PTO accumulation isn't the same as most companies. They want you to go above and beyond but then will complain because you didn't do some new policy that they never told you about. You barely see your co-workers but support from leads and co-workers is pretty good. It all depends on the time of day, the wind, and where the sun is, on if you will get yelled at about some trivial thing. They NEVER compliment or praise anyone except upper management. This is a good place to get some skills but not a long term place. In the few years I have worked here around 20 people have come and gone as mobile techs.  

Dont know what to say really. Seemed liked a great company to work for. Left my previous job to try and advance my career cause I was told from the president of the company that nothing but great opportunity would happen for me. Liked my past job and wasn't really even looking. Just hoping to land something that offered better benefits. Lasted about 4 months with Emcor and was supposedly laid off due to cutbacks from the company I worked for. Dont know how much of that is true from talking to some people within Emcor. No notice just laid off in an instant and couldn't even be offered another position somewhere else. So yeah now I'm jobless and I have kids,  a mortgage, and my bills. Just please be aware before applying to this company. You can and will be expendable without notice. Especially if they pay you well. They dont care about experience. Lets just say if they can find someone who will work for less pay they will without any regret. From my time there there's been 3 cutbacks or downsizing. All this from a fortune 500 company! To make matters worse the president/CEO of Emcor wouldn't even pay me for my vacation that he promised me as part of my offer to come aboard. SMH just a sad situation for anyone to go through..

Terrible company to work for. If you're face doesn't fit you've got no chance of keeping you're job, let alone any prospect of advancement. It's a textbook case of 'not what you know, but who you know.' people get positions not through knowledge, but through knowing someone else who works there. I was never given a single main reason for being finished, rather several individual reasons. Backstabbing and back scratching is pandemic. Bullying is rife, from the everyday floor worker to the top ranks of the company. One rule for some, other rules for others. Certain workers I worked with used to slag the supervisor off, but when he made them supervisors etc they seemed to view him as a God amongst men! Incidents and accidents are not taken seriously. Many workers there are patronising,  with people in their twenties and thirties talking to people older than them in a disrespectful manner. There are posters around the site with EMCOR with smiling workers and little slogans everywhere, however the reality is very different. One of them says 'look out for me, i'll look out for you.' What it should say is 'look out for me, i'll stab you in the back!'
Overall this is a terrible company that I wouldn't recommend.
