Typical day at work consisted for doing what I was instructed to do by my supervisor, not forman. the formans on the site all disagreed on the task at hand therefore i went over there head and asked my supervisor for prints and the correct procedure.

When in doubt ask supervisor for prints, tools, and they will come.

My coworkers at the begining of the job did not have there own tools, they were lost on all job tasks, and not experience in the trade. Toward the end of the job after supervision weeded threw the workforce, then there were dedicated hard workers transfered in that all worked togeather with a professional attitude.

hardest part of the job was the begining due to the poor craftsmanship which change for the positive toward the end of the job.

most enjoyable part of the job was the respect given by the supervisor to the hands and everybodys opnion was acknowledged.

i helped ding the electrical and framing of new building .  After completion, moved to warehouse, stocking, delivering, organizing.  Later moved into purchasing for the warehouse and job site requests.

Found out about money from selling wire/copper back, was staying in management possession, not going back into the business.

I was fired because i went to the CEO of the company and told of the money issue and the management where i worked lied and said i was not correct.  they also terminated my wife who worked there for no cause.

This company will do what they can to pull you in and try to keep you, which sounds like a good thing! Competitive pay and amazing benefits, who doesn't want that! However, the downside is it's basically Stockholm syndrome. The management is extremely toxic, abusive, sexist and overall just terrible. But most put up with it because again, pay and benefits. 

Don't get trapped here. It will do you no good. There are better places with just as good pay and benefits. Not worth your mental health, family life and physical health!

Stay away.

7:00 to 4;00 PM Five days a week some weekends and evenings.

 I learned about equipment and the devices needed to do electrical work. 
 
I worked with a very smart and driven group of people that where very professional.

Keeping everyone supplied with working tools and the right tools to do the job.  

Working hard, achieving goals, getting seeing  the customer satisfaction, when the work was completed.

Working on this project for Merit Electric provided me with the experience that I needed to put towards the required amount of hours needed to become a licensed electrician.  The organization of the project allowed me to grow as a helper and as a person.  Understanding how much of a part of a team that you are was important enough for management to make you feel included regardless of how much you contributed to the project.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Decent pay steady work if you’re good. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Project management and owners. A lot of negative feelings standing in two feet. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Family first. Pretty good overall if you can work past the aholes

no way I would do it again..TERRIBLE......

This company is located in Kentucky never met anyone from there they rely on snitch type of culture I wouldn’t recommend anyone to work for this outfit the treatment of employees is awful 

Best company I worked for in my 12 year career great benefits and compensation it’s going to be a tough job but it’s worth everything you’re willing to put into it. Only reason I left was I was getting married and starting a family couldn’t be away from my wife 3 months at a time.

Ok company, No communication with PM, Payroll will not call you back if you call. No company clothing, No company tools, Expect a lot of travel to different states with no advanced notice of where you may go.  Very hard to get required material needed for job
