Mr. Electric

Every day for a Service Professional (at least for the JM in the vans running calls - apprentices days look slightly different) involves getting your van rolling on time and reporting ready for dispatch. You are dispatched throughout the day based on work load and/or new calls coming in.
It’s very enjoyable if you like service work and solving problems
Every week lots of ongoing education happens that helps you develop more as an electrician, people person and team player.
I say this as an electrician who came to the company with 10 yrs previous residential service experience.
There’s always more to learn and grow in and this company works hard to facilitate and encourage that.
Everyone here at the Tulsa (and OKC) branch seek to help each other better ourselves and truly be the best.

Management is great. Not too harsh (very understanding and apt to teach) but also not too lenient or caught up in playing favorites with certain employees.

The hardest part of the job is probably the best part as well - the encouragement to constantly stretch yourself, learn more and become a better electrician than you were last week.

The most enjoyable part of the job is the camaraderie and company culture…and the good pay and bonuses for average to sometimes fairly easy labor!!

I want to start this review by saying that never in my life up until this point have I ever written a review for a company before. 
Mr. Electric Boise deserves to be recognized in a positive light especially in a time where most  people only take time to write negative reviews.
I feel i have had the opportunity in life to work for a variety of employers. None have ever even come close to Mr Electric Boise. 
I recently moved to Idaho in August and am expecting the arrival my first born. I cant even begin to convey not only the opportunities that this company has given to me but the growth it has brought me personally. This company has done nothing short of bending over backwards to advocate for me in regards to my entrance into the electrical union apprenticeship, as well as helping me develop a plan for health benefits for my little family. Im absolutely blown away at the comradery the team here has. The professionalism of this company is second to none and the first company I can say would be a pleasure to make a career. The management team here strives to set their service professionals up for success in every way shape and form.

Mr. Electric is not your common trades employee.  The drama, the negativity, the better than you mentality, the riff raff, the disrespect are virtually non existent at Mr. Electric.  They entire team from customer service to management are all made to feel as a crucial member of the team that makes this place run so cohesively.  There is positive reinforcement, continued training, and as corny as it sounds a sense of family and belonging here.   If you have a bad day, make a mistake, or dont make a certain goal you are not chastised and penalized, but rather coached on what could have been done better and how to avoid issues in the future.  It is a very laid back environment and if you do your work well you are acknowledged and rewarded.  I spent nearly 20 years looking for a place like this to work.  Employees are not faceless numbers, Management and support are available to you when needed, and you know your value and place here. 

It’s a difficult place to work. Multiple mandatory meetings a week that cuts into your work time. Required training videos with no compensation for doing it outside of work hours. You are not paid hours, you are paid commission. If you don’t sell any work then you get a 300 dollar check for the week. Management keeps upping the minimum sales for the week per tech. It started at 3000 and now it’s up to 10000 a week. No paid holidays. You also have to work on holidays. Job material gets taken out of your commission but you don’t own the material. Management has extremely unrealistic expectations of the technicians. If you deviate from the uniform at all they will send you home. ( like wearing shorts when it’s 90+ degrees outside) you are required to work from 7am to 5pm but then complain about the techs working to many hours. They want the techs to try to be a salesmen when they are at a potential job. Instead of just fixing the issue the customer needed. They want the tech to up sell a minimum of 2000 dollars per job.

Pros:
The benefits are tremendous from health care, to 401-k match, to great compensation as well as a terrific work environment and great employees. The pay is higher than what I would receive at other Electrical Companies and the leadership has a great vision on how to make each of us successful at what we do.

Cons: 
The team is very professional, which does come with more responsibility and a more stern policy on displaying a level of professionalism including a uniform, clean clothing, a nice clean vehicle (provided by the employer), etc. While I actually enjoy this since it makes me appreciate my job more, it is not for everyone since some people prefer to wear whatever, look however they want and present themselves in whatever manner they feel is appropriate (but that's also what makes us different).

This company is a great place to start a career or continue working in the electrical field. Typical day of work is running calls for service electrical work. I have learned more about smoke detectors and other small types of incorrect electrical wiring methods that I have for any other company. Management is awesome. The owner is always willing to help in anyway he can not just on the job but off the job as well. Workplace culture is great as well because of the manager the hardest part of the job is electrical is seasonal so sometimes, depending on the calls and finances for the customers it’s hard to get work sold, the most enjoyable part of the job is I’ve got really good benefits really good coworkers to back me up we are a team and the pay is really good with all of the extra benefits  that are available

Keeping in mind independently owned and operated is key. I have met owners of other locations and the owner I work for makes the work environment better by far. We are treated better than fair and sometimes it can feel like the responsibilities you have at work are less than the pay but they do ask you to complete your fair share. They do have an established system in place that you are expected to follow and it does lead to success. This reflects management well because by giving you the resources to succeed and clear instructions on your job responsibilities everyone knows what they are to do or who to contact if you have questions. The culture is amazingly backed by biblical morals and a true sense of teamwork. We do have fun in the process as well.

Most of my time at this job wasn't bad in fact it was pretty great for a time, I made great connections with a handful of really great people while I was there. The worst part was having to spend time in the office, the management was lacking and the dispatcher didn't know her job. The management and 2023 dispatcher showed extreme favoritism towards their more lacking electricians that would flatter them. Management would also ask you to participate in unrelated events outside of operating hours and then be upset if you decline or attempt to guilt you into it. They will treat you great one week and ask if they could clone you and the next after you've declined one of their events they shun you.

Working in the office is fast-paced and challenging in the best possible way! There is always something new to learn and do. The customers are generally very nice and the owners are incredibly supportive and promote a healthy work life balance because they genuinely care about their employees and view them as family. The compensation, including base pay, incentives, and benefits are top notch and everyone is rewarded for their hard work and effort. My time working at Mr. Electric has been the most rewarding I have ever experienced and I love my job. If you are considering Mr. Electric, take the plunge! You won't be disappointed. 

Onboarding was smooth, and I got to know the owner and a manager right off the bat. They are "people-focused" and seem to really enjoy what they do. I was introduced to everyone during the team meetings. I really enjoy working with the guys here. Even though, I work on my own in a van 80% of the time. I get to meet a lot of people, and no day looks exactly the same. Service work is pretty easy, with lots of windshield time or time just talking to the customers. The pay & benefits are great! It is based on performance BUT the training plan, resources, and help that I got really helped out. I have no complaints at all.
