PACIFIC RIM MECHANICAL

I have been working out of the Santa Ana shop now for 2 1/2 years. And honestly it has been by far the best shop I have worked for in the past 9 years. I have worked for Cut throats employers and this is not one of them. The pay depends on experience and yours certainly as it should be. When you do make a mistake just own up to it and nothing bad happens, they will send you to class on your weak spots to build you up. This truly is a great Service company. Our current Oncall even during the summer is once every 17weeks. Once dispatch is closed @ 4:30pm your off you won't get called to take another call unless the oncall guy is swamped which is rare. I have only gotten the call twice in over 2 years. You start early and can be off early as long as your on top of your accounts your golden. If you are on call and swamped I have yet to be told no by anyone when asking for help with one of there accounts. Communication is number 1 with this job and that's what drives our success. When we make mistakes we own up to them and that's why we have had a large base of our accounts 20+years. You may hear from your field supervisor once a week if you haven't spoke with him just to see how everything is going. When you need time off they don't question it, even when it's only hours notice. They always say family comes first. And management means it. Keep your employees safe and happy and we stick around. They make a point to weed out the bad techs in the first 60 days, as long as you do your jobs and get along with everyone your gunna stick around if you are a tool and think your hot $h#%, and are not humble you will be gone quick. Management cares about the guys opinions. I personally plan on retiring here.

The workload is amazing, great customer base. Great name an ability to complete any mechanical task.
I learned throughout the years to be a true team leader and develop a great team atmosphere. 
Management is working the kinks out. A lot of new systems that are constant changing. Too many processes and procedures that may or may not be applied on a daily basis, at their connivence. 
Honest opinion in regards to culture is, there really isn't not much to speak of since the previous president retired. If they could find their way back to the way it used to be. About the people. To many departments with independent thinking and ways. Needs company ONENESS again. 
The best part of working at Pacific Rim is the vast knowledge base with the employees, the ability to ask for help and receive it.

This company has its advantages and disadvantages like all companies. The company started taking a turn for the worse when our OC dispatcher changed. As a tech your Dispatcher is your life line. We had a great one now we have one that is a bully at times. The company is growing a lil too fast there not hiring Quality techs anymore. Just bottom of the barrel hacks and its starting too show in the call back rate. Everyone knows once the quality leaves the company has issues. I loved the company up until the last three months now its time to leave. So thats the only Negatives Company keeps you 40 plus hour year Round. you get a new Van every 80,000mi. Supervisors keep low stress.

Working at Pacific Rim Mechanical was always exciting. 

I had the opportunity to be exposed to many different types of equipment which gave me the ability to increase my knowledge. 

While employed there I was also given numerous opportunities to fill different positions, learn new skills and receive training from my team members as well as paid courses.

The employees and management are both knowledgeable and willing to go out of there way to help and teach.

The hardest part of the job was the large amount of diverse equipment that one may see on any given day.

The most enjoyable part of the job was the team that I had the pleasure of working with every day.

I worked for Pacific Rim, but was subcontracted to Agensys in Santa Monica.  Agensys was awesome.  I loved the work environment.  Everything had order, you got lots of support from your co-workers and the management was effective, practical and they asked for your input.  They really cared about their people and do the best to help them grow.  You can also cross-train in other departments and go a different route if you feel that you are more competent in that area.  They provide you with the training necessary to do your job and more.  They really take care of you as an employee, so you can perform better.

A very well respected company in San Diego, Orange County, & Los Angeles, competitive pay, lots of new work in the medical lab business, a great service department. Pacific Rim also has several trades in the new construction division. This includes Pipefitting, Plumbing, Sheetmetal, insulation, Process Pipefitting, Controls, Commisioning, Detailing. They also have a very strong management team of Project Managers, Mechanical Engineers. Pacific Rim is a great place to start a career. 23 out of my 28 years in the Pipefitting trade ( new construction)have been with this great company 

I worked as a sheet metal installer for a few companies in the past and Pacific Rim Mechanical is one of the company that I felt I was going to work here until my retirement, but circumstances that lead me to relocate myself to another state. This company treated every employees more than fair comparing to other company that I been through. I miss working here already. The company provide good benefits, Safty practices, good pay, and nice tool room employees. I met a lots of nice people there whom working around me and some become good friends. I have no complaint about this company, but nice thing to say.

While I was in the field it seemed that you couldn't know to much. I knew how to do the job but the department superintendent had his puppets and there was and still is no breaking that. I transferred to safety and life seemed to get a lot better in all aspect. I was able to learn that the company really cared about its employees. There were some issues in that department as well, but I will not discuss.

Technicians work 9 - 80s. Thats 9 hr days mon-fri and every second week friday off. Three day weekends! Management leaves you alone as long as your clients are properly taken care of. Pac rim provides the bigger equipment and checks out certain tools but your primary hand tools you have to procure yourself. They do offer a tool program where you can pay over time for tools that Pac rim purchases on your behalf. They insure your personal tools against loss and wear.
