M. J. ELECTRIC

MJ electric LLC seems like a good place to work for when applying, they definitely know how to put lipstick on a pig. Was promised a set amount of money hourly when I agreed to take a position, however when I showed up for work they told me that they hadn't agreed on that amount and were going to pay me a different amount instead because that's the industry standard. I would have been okay with that if it had been more money than originally agreed on, but of course it wasn't. Was also promised to be working in a particular area of the state only to have that thrown out the window as well, was given almost no training in the field when I was given a service truck. Soon learned that work life balance is non existent, you are looked down upon from management if you want to get more training or certifications, dont expect a call from your manager checking in, do not apply for a job at their Minnesota shop Location. Benefits are great but the pay isn't. Get to work on and out of nice equipment but the pay is still not up to date with many other places. Was offered a better pay rate at a smaller family owned company that seems to actually care about home-work life balance and training employees properly, and follows their promises. 

One of the best employers in such a small community based off of monetary compensations, benefits, and perks. Unfortunately, the elder generation is leaving an ugly blemish on this company though. Comparable to the the issue with the local community and its inability to grow, there is a generation that has been at this company too long; and instead of making way for people who can help this company to continue to grow and excel the way it has in the past; this generation's sense of entitlement is squeezing out all they can for their own personal gain. In all serious; in the next ten years, the profit margin of this company will increase 30% if not more based solely on people retiring that or exploiting company resources for their own personal gain. If you do find yourself working for this company; the smartest thing you could do is not show any form of individualism, and find a vp with a corner office and glue your lips to their *ss. There are "haves" and "have-nots", if you are in the latter, then do your best to make friends with the "haves" and make their happiness your biggest priority.

I was in charge of organising the file room for the whole office. I assisted my office manager and billing specialist with some of their duties like entering and editing data in the employe database and entering and summing up billing amounts using Excell. Creating files and organizing documents in the folders, making copies and scanning documents, delivering incoming mail and pay checks to employees.
I learned how to be more accurate in data entry and also learned basic knowlege of excel, access and MS outlook, learned how to be detail oriented and more organized in my filing skills.
My co-workers good to work with, they hard their moments when the days were stessful but so did I.
Hardest part of my job was when the work was not that much work and the day was slow.
The most enjoyable part was learning something new and the flexible hours.

Great place to work, unfortunately the job I was hired for got shut down but I really liked my job, boss & other employees. I'm sad to say goodbye. I even offered to move to Michigan where they are located if I could work directly for my direct boss now.

MJ Electric was an outstanding company to work for. The company is extremely supportive in its employees. I learned something new everyday I was in the office or on the road. The management is constantly pushing for excellence and is very open to new ideas to not only boost morale but also production. MJ Electric has the ability to hire fantasic employees that bring their own characteristics to the table and blend them into everything we do on a daily basis. The hardest part for me was to decide it was time to try something else and move on from MJ Electric. I will always remember my time at MJ Electric as one of the best places I have ever worked.

Its a great job, great company that is safely oriented to run at top efficiency. Don't be surprised to see the top boss roll up his sleeves to lend a hand to a problem out in the work zone, to get down and dirty with the rest of his employees. If you love the outdoors, to see the world around you, then this is the job for you. Its one of reasons why I loved this job. To work outdoors, to feel the sun on my face, the wind in my hair, to enjoy myself at a job while making a great living. So yes, i would recommend this job to all who aren't afraid of a little work, it is a hands on job, you will get dirty,  wet, but that's what work is. 

Worked for MJ Electric for 11 years. They were great for the first 8 years I worked for them. I got to travel all over the country doing a variety of installs for many big clients including Hess, Skanska, and Rolls Royce.  The pay was great, and my co - workers where great to work for. 

However, in the last two years the father company "Quanta Services" has become quite a large conglomerate. I'm sorry to say that the family values and morals that this company was started on are no longer there. I decided to resign this past fall for bigger and better challenges with out the need to travel far from home.

It can be a good place, on the iowa side they will toy with you if they dont like you though I found out. Workplace culture is great if your in, if your not part of the club, well  your on your  own. The work and atmosphere would be great if you didn't have a bunch of these types there. You could really move through the company, but your time at home is not doing as extensive or you will hostility.

Be able to work independently and problem solve. Very fast paced. Have to always be learning and adapting. Have to be able to take criticism. Need to have thick skin. Very labor intensive. Also mentally stressful. Be willing to travel. Work from 3 days a week to 7 days a week. Unknowing of where you will be for your next job. Not a lot of time at home. Always at hotels with coworkers. Sometimes can get into rhythms which makes for an easy day.

The job was amazing I was a heavy equipment operator for MJ I operated their trencher for the installation of wind turbines, I also operated back hoe, excavator, dozer , high speed dozer skid steer as well as some farm tractors to haul our real carts, it is an excellent trade for as long as you can handle the hotel life
