It demands a sharp eye for detail, proactive communication, and swift problem-solving under time constraints. Despite the stress, I find that this challenge pushes me to stay at the top of my game and deliver results that meet the highest expectations.”

What is the best part of working at the company?
Gaylor Electric is extremely big on safety. They're very supportive towards helping their employees become quality Electricans. The Elkhart Field Office specifically, they have an amazing culture and standard for quality. There's a strong emphasis on both accountability and pride being put into their work. The journey men are all very knowledgeable, approachable, and supportive. They. truly work as a team, but allow their apprenitice the room to grow and earn opportunities to lead. Gaylor Electric is a good place to work, especially for apprenitice because they do all types of electrical jobs, whereupon, you can gain higher levels of experience immediately.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
As apprenitice, I felt the apprenitice wages were not to the standard of the company. Unfortunately, I wasn't the only person to feel that way. The Elkhart Field Office did everything they could to help us apprenitice, but financially it wasn't enough to keep many of us apprenitice out of personal financial debt across our four year appreniticeship. But I've come to learn how that's just the nature of the in becoming an Electrican. It gets greater later.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
The greatest  environment an Electrican can be in.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
There's not a day where nothing new isn't learned, nor accomplished.

Had high hopes until they cut me and another guys pay 2$ less the first day of orientation.Shorted me 2 months worth of per diem pay, very poor communication company wide, trucks broke every day and couldnt complete job. No awareness or care in the world for their employees safety. Until something happened. They talk a big game and pretend to care just enough to keep you coming back the next day. There are constantly people leaving the company from upper management to the grunts on a crew. Had an inside electrician trying to oversee their "line side" of utility division, had no clue how to do anything let alone lead 3 different crews of guys working on 1000's of volts of electricity. In the 6 months I worked there had 4 incidents alone with phase to ground issues where someone didnt care or wasnt paying attention.Favoritism is another huge issue. They started a job behind schedule 2 months and pressured that crew into working 7 days a week and expected you there on time everyday even when working 17-18 hr days. I could go on for days about this place. Bottom line, RUN!

Working here offers a rewarding and dynamic experience for IT professionals. The company fosters a collaborative and supportive work environment where team members are encouraged to grow their skills and take on new challenges. From day one, employees are welcomed into a culture of respect, clear communication, and mutual appreciation. Leadership is approachable and genuinely invested in professional development, making it a great place to build a long-term career. The role itself involves providing hands-on technical support, troubleshooting hardware and software issues, assisting with IT onboarding, and contributing to technology-driven improvements across the company. With opportunities for learning, advancement, and certification, Gaylor Electric ensures its team members are equipped for success. Competitive benefits, a strong team culture, and a focus on innovation make this an excellent role for anyone looking to grow within a forward-thinking electrical contracting company.

Unfortunately, I have nothing good to say about this company.  Top level management is unprofessional, and discusses lower level managers and foreman with others workers. Top level managers want complete control but are never at work.  They make decisions and change procedures without coordinating with other managers or departments, but they do make sure to tell the people in their close "chosen" circle.  It's as if they are running their own separate job and letting everyone else wonder what has changed and why.  There is zero communication and no direction.  Onboarding person discusses co-workers personal business and other workers salaries with anyone that will listen, and is unnecessarily rude to trades workers.  Majority of work was perfomed by a few, while the majority do very little, simply because they are friends with the top level manager.   This company believes in relationships and deals, and congratulating themselves, more than doing an honest days work.

After completing 3 week tower training with Faith Technologies I was sent to a couple different electrical job sites all while waiting to hear on when we would start tower work but eventually found out they were no longer pursuing tower work at the time. A typical day would consist of starting at 7am working till 1130 for lunch then working till 330 or 530. I learned many various new helpful things that will help me significantly in life and am glad I took this opportunity. Management of the company was helpful and organized, and my coworkers were also very helpful with everything on and off the job site. The hardest part of the job was being away from my fiance and family for 3-4 weeks at a time and also having to pay out of my own pocket for trips back home. The most enjoyable part of the job was being able to see all the different states and areas while meeting new people along the way.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Meeting deadlines. Also keeping my team busy & focused.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Dress appropriately, wear proper safety clothing/gear, follow all rules, no shortcuts, keep your area organized & cleaned up. Be aware of other crews and your surroundings. Then complete tasks that are prioritized.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Get there 20-30 minutes early just in case there’s traffic on the way so I still get to work on time. If I am early I start to make a list of that days priorities. Next week go over what material we have and are going to need. Then give a run down on who does what, where, & how. Figure out what will be next & make sure there’s material. Etc…

I was able to stay busy with work and I learned to take one day at a time.  Management showed promise at first and then true colors started to show.  No one was ever on the same page and you couldn't keep up with the daily changes. There were some nice people there, but you have some who are fake when they are around you.  The most enjoyable part was the few friends I did make.  The hardest part was the fact that management is not forthcoming  when you first get there and then as time goes by, they throw unreasonable expectations at you that you were never informed about or prepared for.  Some aspects of the job, I was never completely trained on so I was unable to do my job the correct way and they treat a few select people with kit gloves.  It turned out not being the place they made it out to be.

Review specifications to ascertain if there exists the possibility of value engineering. Prepare and update the project schedule and, bill percent complete on a monthly basis.

There are better companies out there. It is a good company if you fit into a click. Company has non compete with many other companies, can cause an employee to not be able to find another job. Low pay, lack of communication, no work life balance for management level,  benefits are not competitive  ,  5 payed days off a year for first year for hourly, 12 for salary. Management is allowed to operate like high school clicks.
