What is the best part of working at the company?
Working for a company headquartered in another state meant that no one was looking over my shoulder.  As long as I got my work done. Never heard from anyone 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
There is NO finishing the job tomorrow. Once you start an install you don't leave till it's done. If it takes till midnight that's what's expected. Because you have another install the following day..all the company cared about was getting that final check. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
It was enjoyable for me because I liked the electrician I worked with. It was just the two of us day in and day out.. have worked with other employees that I didn't jive with and it can make for a long day. Especially if it's a 16 hour day

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
6 am loading the days install and off to pick up necessary supplies and fuel. Then off to the customers home which was normally an hour or two drive. The most challenging part was customers yards and where to place the generator as most of the time the place they wanted it wasn't to code and the sales people never tell them otherwise. After a long grueling day of running gas and electric cable.. then the drive back. Some runs were well over 100 ft and it's doesn't happen in the blink of an eye . You are hustling ..was like running a marathon every day..otherwise your not getting home till midnight..

Overall I learned a lot from this place.  The structure is a rigid, “my way or the highway” kind of place.  Middle management is good, but GM is only to be seen collecting the money and complaining about jobs taking too long, but doesn’t care to spend a day with a crew figuring out what they need to succeed.  

Time off requests are like pulling teeth.  If it’s “the busy season”, which is no different from the rest of the year, then you can expect not to get any time off.  

Small businesses succeed when the owners spend time with their employees, and have a positive attitude around them, no matter the circumstances surrounding the businesses successes or failures.  

This place has changed to a profit  driven, “you’re just a number and easily replaced” type of environment in just a couple months.  Really hope they learn to appreciate their employees, and value their time and effort soon, or they will continue the revolving door that they currently have.

From my average day at work, there’s enough things that unfamiliar with that. I’m not pondering trying to figure things out, but enough knew that I don’t get bored.
I have a background in operating machines, but I got specific training for generator troubleshooting
Thankfully, my managers are people who are easy to talk to and explain when I do have difficulties and help me resolve them
My coworkers are easy to interact with and chat with
As a generator technician who covers most of New York State, and sometimes I have to do jobs where I really would like to be what I ask. Questions of more experience techs  but can’t due to bad service coverage for my phone
Actually doing a job that caters to my natural skills and personality

This is by far one of the worst companies I have ever worked for in terms of work/family balance and understanding about sickness and health related issues. They pay well, but that's about all I can say about this company. There is almost no concern for employee safety, And employees are expected to work as many hours as required by management. I the years I was there I experienced multiple 17+hour days that included 4+ hour drives in each direction to and from the job site and was told that it's just part of the job. We were regularly expected to work 60+ hours a week when the owner demanded it, but at other times we're limited to 40 hours with no overtime allowed causing jobs to be rushed and done incorrectly and dangerously because we were expected to meet hour requirements. If you are inexperienced generator technician and are looking for a new job may I recommend that you go anywhere else than here

What is the best part of working at the company?
I really liked how I was lied to from the beginning. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Oh there were many things that were very stressful but the most stressful thing was the lack of communication 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
There was no culture to speak of but the environment was always changing and challenging.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Lots of driving and lots of moving.

Working at Hurricane was utterly miserable. Expectations are set far too high for employees. a 16 and 17 hour work day is not uncommon. Management and ownership communicates poorly, is very selfish, and completely dishonest. Morals and honesty are deplorable to leadership. The employee turnover is astounding. All in all Hurricane Home Solutions is an awful company to work for.

Hmmm, typical work day.. show up, do my job and have a little fun while doing it. Fun people to work with and a fun job to do.. it’s a job that I enjoy coming to and look forward to after the weekend..

Company is not a good company to work for owner is greedy. If you want any type of family good luck hours are long. Communication is some of the worst. One of the worst company’s I have worked for. Management and owners are unreasonable. 

The manager had favorites OBVIOUS favorites, everyday it was made more and more obvious. No recognition for a job well done. Daily nightmare
