MYR Group Inc.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Would you like to work where:
1.	Referring to your Supervisor, an Executive can say to you:
“I dumped that b*t*h after two weeks.”
“[They’re] delusional.”
“[They} can’t manage.”
…but that Supervisor is not required to undergo corrective action? And,
2.	You can be told by that Executive that you will be supported and that Executive says they will intercede on your behalf so you are fairly treated, but an hour later you are asked to remain silent about the conversation wherein you heard those quotes above?
3.	A coworker can say about your Supervisor “Everyone knows [They] cannot manage.”
4.	Other employees with whom you have discussed your situation (including within HR) concur that [They; Supervisor] are difficult to converse with, incomprehensible and often conversationally non-sequiturial, and likely difficult to work with.
5.	Directions received are often unclear, incoherent, and frequently lacking a true focus. ????
…then this is the place for you!

Beware the hiring process.
Be careful how you choose the person to whom you will report.


What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Wondering whether or not you are really being valued and heard as a contributor who has ideas and can be creative in completing tasks and achieving goals.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Like most companies: cubes and cliques, favorites and pets, and some friends.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Dizzying amid skepticism and speculation about the future.

What is the best part of working at the company?
My fellow co-workers, benefits and perks.  MYR is very generous to it's employee's in lots of different ways. The company is stable and profitable which creates a sense of security that is rare in the work world these days.  Executive management are very nice, hard working approcable people.  I love that the CEO came all the way up through the trade ranks, I have a lot of respect for that.  

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The usual things, like lag times in communication that make my job a little challenging at times. Some of the software is challenging to work with,  but that is usually just a learning curve on my part.  

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
I have found it to be a friendly and co-operative environment.  The company is spread out over the US and Canada, however in my role I have gotten to know many people.  You get what you give, in life and at work, if you make the effort it will be reciprocated. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Managing communication from all corners of the company in my particlar role. Trouble shooting issues. Ordering supplies, organizing events, processing invoices and cost transfers.

Working for MYR is not what it could be. The company is huge and has such great potential. But direct management is usually a combination of Micromanager and Bulldozer. You will be experiencing emotional abuse and the politics are off the chart here. There is next to no training even when it’s promised and when you get your W2 don’t be surprised if it’s several grand under what your original offer letter said it would be.
You will be given more tasks by people who can’t do them, so of course they can’t help you with them, and you will be questioned on everything even if you were directly told to do it. It’s a company where you will have to document everything told to you so that when you’re being chewed out later you have some proof for HR. 
The people on your level are usually amazing, and you can trauma bond quickly with them. Depending on your position you might have work/life balance but it all depends.
The company parties are nice, the health insurance is great. But there is so much room for improvement with fixing poor management, and paying the people who are doing the actual work much more.

I would not recommend this company. The company needs a lot of work, they are in the stone ages. There are people in positions where they don’t belong. This was the worst job that I have ever had. You get treated with disrespect and criticized for doing something when you never knew the correct approach. Other coworkers are treated differently, you can go above and beyond and it won’t matter. The boss also likes to micro manage. The benefits are great, the company has a lot of potential, they just need the right people in the right positions. 

MYR Group is a parent company for a set of electrical contractor companies.  The organization has grown through both acquisition and organically.   Corporate has no appetite to standardize on processes across the business units, which leads to massive inefficiencies.  The company cannot decide who it is or what it wants other than more business.  The IT Department is fragmented, under-funded, and poorly led.  This organization does not communicate; not top-down, not bottom-up, and not middle-out.

Accounts Payable Assistant was the title that they posted online.  But the actual job title was file clerk.  They kept promising that I would be trained on the accounts payable but continued to have me file to no end.  They say that it was to learn the job numbers I learned the system of the job numbers with in my first two days and continued to ask for more work.  I had them caught up on the filing to be told that I wasn't a fit "personally" for the team.  

If you're looking for a true accounts payable position this is not the one to accept or interview for.

Don't let the salary and benefits fool you. They are good, but the trade-off is NOT worth it. Please steer clear of this company, especially if you're looking for advancement or longevity at your place of business. The best thing MYR Group could do, would be to look at the Phoenix Arizona branch very closely, and then clean house. They would be surprised at the increased productivity and profit margins if they did so. Plus, turnover would drop tremendously. Employee morale and satisfaction, is very low here.

I enjoyed my time with this company and had a great team. I came in to a AR mess that earned me a very specific task. WMR billing was at zero completion when the projects were practically complete if not already closed. I was able to complete this goal but felt the role was limited to fixing a prior PM's mishaps so choose to pursue other avenues once WMS billing was 100percent complete 

Working for such a large company you are never made to feel you are disconnected. I worked in an office thousands of miles from the corporate head quarters. But I never felt out of touch and always had the support needed. My direct supervisors and co-workers were professional and caring. The work was something I loved and would do again if any new projects became available.
Can't say enough about what a great place they are to work for.
