Metric-Engineering

Work-life balance
Work-life balance at Metric Engineering is terrible. They lied to me about having assignments available IMMEDIATELY upon arrival in Louisiana. I traveled on my own dime for three days only to find out that they were overstaffed for the area they specifically hired me to work at.

Pay & benefits
My pay and benefits at Metric Engineering are poor. They only compensate $0.44 mile if you actually get an assignment!

Job security and advancement
In terms of job security at Metric Engineering, I think NONE. Good luck actually getting some work in a timely fashion.

Management
In general, managers at Metric Engineering are clowns.

Culture
Collaboration with my colleagues at Metric Engineering is poor.

Overall
My experience working at Metric Engineering makes me ANGRY and ready to sue.

What is the best part of working at the company?
The level of training, I recurve and safety training helped in my ability to perform my duties with confidence and pride. Whilst, being safe.

Not being provided housing or perfume towards temporary housing while working projects.

The overall atmosphere was relaxed but mindful of your expectations to perform our duties while remaining professional. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Some days may seen longer than others depending on weather, location and amount of debris. Also, depending on where you're working....waterways, residential ROW...I enjoyed everyday,  Met new people and saw si many new places...Ft. Meyers, Colorida.

There is room for growth in most capacities, company size is conducive to learning by working side-by-side with higher level folks (rather than generic "I'm just a number" training), company works on some exciting, cutting edge civil projects, has a respected name in the industry, has offices statewide, competitive benefits package and competitive pay.

People are overall great to work with and there is a lot to learn if you are in the transportation industry, as Metric has multiple complementary service lines such as traffic operations, ITS, roadway design, planning & PD&E, environmental, structural & drainage design, operations and integration (Technology sector), etc.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Disorganized and mgrs. are petty and biased. Job is unsafe. Managers are always threatening termination and they allow certain people to be lazy.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Going to the morning meetings where they didn't know what to talk so they just talked about same thing every morning.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Unsafe, unfriendly and the company is very unaccomadating. You can never reach a manager when you run into a problem.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Long and unsafe. Never know from minute to minute what to expect because they change the protocols at a whim. I actually loss money working there.

A typical day was a constant process orientated job, met with applicants from the city of Galveston, processed paperwork, and communicated with all consulting companies involved for realtor meetings, inspections, paperwork processing, contracts, and closings. 
My management was very hands off, but I had to ensure the process was managed and all details were met and everything had to have follow through due to time constraints and closing dates on homes
The most difficult part of the yet the most rewarding was as each piece of the process took place it had to be implemented across the board for each applicant - each portion of the process had to be created and implemented

Did monitoring of the storm debris pickup after Hurricane Michael work for several supervisors  all had their own way of doing things. But overall great place to work, it's storm work, it's long hours no days off but you know this going in. The money can be really good it's nothing the first few months after a storm to get 84 plus hours a week all hours over 40 are paid at time-and-a-half. Makes for a really nice paycheck, yeah you work long hours but the job is not hard and it only lasts a few months. Metric has been one of the better monitoring companies I have work for

While working as a load monitor with Metric for almost 7 months I made more money than I had at any time in my life.  The work was not hard, but usually consisted of 80 to 90 hours a week.  I made few mistakes and eventually got promoted to work with the state roads.  I had hoped to become a lead or supervisor but never got a chance to be promoted.  I have worked in supervisory positions for several jobs.  I am a Christian and believe in honesty, integrity and doing things as instructed.  

I loved working for this company! All of my supervisors were awesome and appreciative of our work. If I could get my husband to go with me I would follow them all over the country to work with them in a heartbeat ❤️ It's great pay, long hours, working 7 days a week and very little time to spend with family and friends. But when you have bills to catch up on, everything else is put on the back burner for a while. But it was well worth it. I made alot of friends and staying in touch with many of them.

I would work with them again in a heartbeat if given the opportunity.  I was only hired for a temporary job.  A typical day was working hard, but still taking the time to laugh here & there.  I learned a lot about the type of work companies like that do, and it is amazing.  Management and workplace culture was like nothing I've ever seen, in the best way possible.  The hardest part of the job, just making sure you're seeing the correct numbers after having already been sitting in front of the computer for 14+ hours.  The most enjoyable would have to be the people.

I worked 6 days a week typically 12-13 hours a day to run the budgets, project scheduling, contract negotiations, Salary adjustments/approvals for South, Central and North Florida. In addition, I was in charge of invoicing the FDOT which included the subcontractors invoices to Metric. We constructed proposals for bidding on new projects which was usually a week of 15 hours a day. I received no OT pay for this additional hours.
