Office VS Field Techs

You’ve Been Warned


What is a typical day like for you at the company?
As a startup technician, 

Extremely lonely.  You are dumped on a construction site where you encounter delays due to power issues, elevator issues. You are expected to complete the Havtech Salesperson’s startup without any OT or extra help and to have paperwork on time.

The bag of goods I was sold to join this organization is astounding. They put a lot of polish into their outward appearance, but once you get behind the scenes, it's pretty ugly.

The leadership team is extremely an openly judgmental of others and more worried about their self-image than actually making an impact on this organization.

Many employees do not like the work they are doing and believe nothing positive will change here. Also, not as many have quit because they can get away with doing very little, myself included.

Don't believe the hype and don't fall for the glitter and glam of this organization, it is highly dysfunctional and disorganized. Turn back.

Most of the employees are cool. In general they seem friendly and helpful.

But they start you off with a pretty low salary. The raises are very small. There is hardly any room to advance. Everyone who leaves does it for the same exact reason. They realized they would never make much more money.

They allow some people to work from home every day but some people have to go into the office partially. There doesn't seem to be a reason for this either. Living in the area is way too expensive. Especially considering how low they pay. Letting people work wherever they want could at least off set this a little bit.

Small amount of vacation days. Barely any days rollover. You don't get more until you've been there for years.

In my many years of working, I have never seen a worse manager than the one at this location. Not saying that I am faultless, but I was taught if you are not making mistakes, you are not working. But not here. If you were not PERFECT and NEVER made a mistake, management would install a different set of rules that only you had to follow - which was not only stressful but did not promote a good working environment. Good managers motivate workers to do their best - that is something you will not find here. What was even worse is management posted my job while I was still coming to work every day and had me training another person for a different location - Actions of this nature are unprofessional and disrespectful.

Always expecting surprises either what you learned or what to expect from different behaviors. I have learned different characteristics of clients what and what not to expect. the people in management were pretty detailed orientated. There were different races in the facility in which they were able to get along with each other. The hardest part of the job was the behaviors and de-esculating them. The most enjoyable part of the job was binding with the clients and seeing the smile on their faces it's a good feeling to know that you are appreciated.

You never know what you’re gonna walk into when you go into the office. The HR people are very unprofessional and discussed your personal stuff with other employees. The owners and upper management have no clue on what they’re doing as long as you’re a snatch you would move up the company, they do things without any reason or explanation to the employees all they care about is upper management and they get the money in their pockets 

My day is the never the same.
My boss has and continues to teach me the technical side of the business.
I work for a great company and great people.
Working in a team isn't a problem - everyone is so helpful.
My job can be very challenging, but it helps me grow and advance my skill set.
The mos enjoyable part of my job is that I am constantly learning new things because I have such a great boss.

Havtech was a great company to intern for, I couldn't of asked for any better experiences. I served as a pre-sales application engineer intern where they allowed me to partake in all aspect of estimating that dealt with VAV, VRV, and GRD's. I would recommend this company to any individual looking for an internship.

The people are very friendly. Management doesn't micromanage. Work culture is very relaxed. Company usually does fun team building events. The office is a very nice well kept building.

Only complaint is that it seems like sales is the only way to make real money here. I know many non sales people who left because they could get much more money other places.

Overall a decent company, great benefits, and there are some really great people that work there.  If you are not an engineer / not interested in becoming one, do not stay longer than a year or two.  Hard work is not valued, so going the extra mile really won't get you anywhere
