FISK ELECTRIC

The work environment from project to project might be rough going or smooth sailing, depending on the client Fisk is contracting for. What remains consistent is Fisk Electric. In my experience, the management team and office staff are always there to help navigate those difficult projects.

The operations manager and VP have an outstanding work ethic and expect the same out of both the field and office staff. Though at times I have witnessed stern lectures and heated discussions, what matters is their ability to navigate them with clear direction and logical reasoning.

One other aspect that makes Fisk stand out from other contractors are their focus on family and its importance. Though it does include work family, they are overly considerate and understanding to the needs of the employees and their own family matters.

Lastly, they have a yearly Christmas party that, I believe, shows the unfounded generosity of the VP and OPS MNGR. I'm not aware if other Fisk locations do this or not, but I do know that they are joyful putting these on. Not only do they raffle off an aggregious amount of gifts to the employees, they also make sure their kids in attendance get a cool toy as well.

A typical day was working at my desk generating BOM's with computer input, emailing or calling for quotes from vendors and subs.

I learned how to use a computer and things such as medium voltage work, heavy civil work.

Management was ok.

Hardest part of my job was always being in full speed ahead, multi-tasking. Got yelled at a lot.

My coworkers were great the first eight years. After being bought out by another company, I kept to myself. Did not care to be around other co workers that were on ego trip.

Most enjoyable was when you  were told you do excellent work, the Christmas parties, free lunch a lot of times.

I enjoyed working at Fisk Electric tremendously, getting up and going to work was always a pleasure during my duration there.  I was sadly let go during their buy out.  Fisk used to be a fun and happy place to go, it was more like working with family. Most everyone was helpful and caring, always looking out for the other person and we all cared about the company as a whole.  My daughter still works at Fisk till this day and so many people were let go or resigned.  Fisk as I understand is still a great place to work but all of the old timers have now been replace by the new generration of Fisk (as they say). I enjoyed all my duties at Fisk from A/P to helping in all areas, even the mail room.

Terrible AV department, unprofessional, no integrity, disorganized, constant mistakes caused by indifference and indecision, inexperienced project managers, unethical business practices. These people cut their employees pay and will not even tell them about it. They will send data guys to do AV work, leave the AV guys at home, and rarely give a full 40 hour work week. The union does not have an AV pay scale, so they will pay AV techs as a data tech and the union will not help in anyway. Ex-cons are currently running the AV department. Use your skills somewhere else, this department won't last long and are not worth working for.

Union shop that's a
Worthless Rat Shop. 
Huge favoritism towards worthless workers. 
They keep an move these workers around.job to job.
Then wonder why they have huge amount of lose ends an work that's not completed. Lose money on jobs.
Because they babysit worthless in house workers. 
Management is complete failer. To let this continue when they know.
HR is worthless. Because they are not Union workers.
Bought an sold so many times. Just use Fisk name.
It's a Tutor Perini company.

Great company. Worked more with Fisk than any employer. Enjoyable work environment and experience. I always showed up early and left late, because I loved the work I did at Fisk and how they responded to my hard work during my time there. Management was very down to earth, understanding, and made me feel at home while I was employed. The commute was the hardest part of the job, being outside the city mostly. The challenges on a day to day basis is what I enjoyed the most.

What is the best part of working at the company?
None
 Upper management doesn't care about the  employees  compensation  or a fear work environment. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Not a  good place to work  for

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Not good  .employees are not valued as they should. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Stressfully.  Specially  the pm's  not allowing the foreman to do his job as it should be in a few words  too much micromanagment.

Typical day would get the work order, set up off a blue print and run cable to a patch panel, there we would terminate. My coworkers were very particular how a job would go. We were on a construction site so we would have to wear PPE and a lot of safety training. We would have morning meetings every day before our day got started so we could go over everyones duties they have to perform.

I enjoyed everyday I went to work, the company always kept me involved in new projects. So my time there was never repetitive or dull. I learned most of my electrical knowledge and how things work through the company. From on the job training to actually performing task on my own as soon as my license was obtained. The most enjoyable part of the job was completing huhge projects and task in a timely manner.

Fisk is a family oriented company. It is very flexible to your needs, they take care of all of their employees and regularly show their appreciation. The executive team and company officers are acceptional and make you feel very welcome and wanted. Their employees happiness and customer satisfaction is TOP priority! I fell in love with this company the day I started working for them and I will always recommend them to new customers and employees.
