EST Companies

This is a small company that has very little communication between leadership and employees, lack of team meetings or inclusion in company decisions. You will not feel part of the bigger picture and there is a lack of action to make employees feel part of the organization as a whole, closed-minded leadership that doesn't listen to employee ideas/suggestions, unwillingness to find ways to remain progressive based on current trends or employee needs, inappropriate and unkind management who speak unprofessionally and at times yell at employees and are insulting when talking about employees, employee well being is placed much lower on importance level compared to customer service and hours worked. Policies are interpreted at will and there is favoritism. If you just want a job and a paycheck, where you mostly work alone and not as a team, and you don't want to feel truly part of a company where your skills are honed your voice is heard, where you don't want to gain training to grow in your job, this company is fine for you.

A typical day at work starts arriving at the office between 6 & 7 am; checking in with everyone I work with and catching up on any emails that came in while I was out of office or preparing for an early meeting. Working on reports, hosting interviews, planning services, site visits, and answering questions from my team or coworkers as they arise. Usually, I will step out of the office for lunch around mid-day, but sometimes, will opt to eat in my office. After lunch, make sure deliverables for that day are taken care of, and some prep for the next day is completed, maybe coordinating with my supervisors or their technicians on any difficulties they faced throughout the day. I have learned a great deal about time management, workflow optimization, how to conduct a proper interview and what it takes to help grow people within their roles. The management and culture here go hand in hand, it is a team focused environment, where everyone, at every level is willing to lend a hand at any time. 

I have been with EST for 3 years and have had a very positive experience. The atmosphere is fast paced at times but controlled and well managed. Employees are encouraged to be self-reliant however, support is always available when needed. 
EST offers a good benefits package including matching 401K which is rare in such a small company. 
I have been part of some large scale installation and commissioning projects on military sites and general industry locations. Each project is unique and very interesting. I learn from my coworkers every day and we have become good friends and teammates. 

EST is a very good company to work for.  I recently returned from the Annual Company Event that was in Phoenix, Arizona.  The company flew in all the employees and their families for a long weekend which was so enjoyable.  The company is growing and has offices in several places across the country.  It is family owned and the owners really care about the employees and the customers.  With growth has come growing pains; however, they truly work to improve how they operate.  EST also worked hard during COVID and its ensuing challenges to keep everyone employed, safe and healthy.  If you like to work hard, enjoy a challenge, and want opportunity this a great place to work. 

My experience onboarding and getting up to speed at this company has been rewarding and full of growth. They are detailed  in their selection process, and I see why. 

There is a strong sense of culture, and I genuinely look forward to each week working with the team. There are challenges as with any company, but I think the communication and support are there to make them short-term issues. 

This company is clearly in a period of expansion, and while some areas currently lack structure and established systems, there are encouraging signs of meaningful change ahead. Job security feels strong due to the ongoing growth and demand, and the workplace culture comes across as grounded and genuine. The owners seem to lead with integrity, and there’s real potential for hands-on learning and support. This is the impression I’ve gathered so far—and it’s a positive one.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Numerous growth opportunities from the get go. Small company looking to expand into new territories; lots of room to learn different roles and processes within the organization. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Working remotely offers a different challenge when learning new things

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Culture is very friendly and welcoming.

Day to day service is straightforward and not technically difficult. Install projects can be a bit more challenging depending on the project coordinator you end up with. 

All said, not a bad job. 

The more you know, the more they'll expect from you without monetary compensation for the increased workload. 

Management is constantly changing and is disconnected from what the service technicians actually do. Benefits are good, could be better. Lack of balance between work and personal time. Some technicians travel extensively, some are home most weekends, it just depends on where you live and what you know. Those who work hard are rewarded the same as those who just skate by.
