Performance Contractors

A typical work day is a self driven time sensitive day. I have learned many things about the industry as a whole i.e. industry standards and requirements. I have learned how to operate AutoCAD at a very high level with minimal errors. I have also learned how to navigate relationships with clients as well as customers. Performance is a very laid back position with a high requirement of self motivation. The hardest part of the job for me is that there is a very unclear path to advancement within the company and noncompetitive pay.  The most enjoyable part of the job is the management believes in employees being self driven so you do not have management breathing down your neck as long as you do what you are supposed to be doing, and the workplace is a fun place full of comradery between employees as well as management. I have enjoyed the position as a whole but I am looking to further myself in this field and do not have the opportunity to do so at this company so I am looking elsewhere for the opportunity to do so. 

I would get to work early to kept log of employee entering and leaving the contract gate. Then I would presented morning safety meeting before work to all of our employees and subcontractors. At
the end of the meeting I would gather all of the new hires and orientate them about the Plant & Company safety rules, policys and
proceedures. Next I would hold a classroom & hands on training on equipment (ei.. JLG, Sissorlift), Confined Space Training, and Matabo Training. Next, I would conduct daily Safety Audits threw out the job site.Next, I would figure out what our daily job Force Report for the day. By mid day we would attended daily Management meetings with 3rd Party, Site Manager & Plant Mangers to go over any prodction or safety issues for that day. I would administer minor
First Aid to employees on site. We would then do a weekly account of our safety report to see where we need to address our finding for the week so we can better those areas. We would then talk with Site Managment to administer a daily and/or weekly safety incentive of our emplyees and subcontractors.

PCI is a multi-field company, and I was assigned to a group in scaffolding for an industrial park. Right away, it was noticeable our contracting group was the least equipped with materials and equipment.

The other groups had vehicles for moving around, small buildings, and even suits for weather conditions. We didn't have any of that, for the exception of a somewhat deteriorated vehicle. The most we had was a mini-scaffold-style bench with a roof where we used to place our lunch bags.

While PCI may not be a company that gives the most resources to its workers, it doesn't go above its head; it doesn't act greedy, and it treats its workers equally and is a good place for workers from any other industrial field to come and visit to make some money, then leave later on (this is what most workers do, only staying here until their primary job is available, or any other similar "on hold" reason).

I worked for this company for a few years I am very ambitious hardworking and sharp, the foremen were glad to have me on they’re crews and could depend on me some of them would let me lead a build or tear down. Upper management knew me as a reliable hard worker but that only seems to go so far because I tried to move up and become a foreman myself and it just wasn’t in their plans to give me a chance to prove myself, they promoted another guy that started when I did and he doesn’t have any skills or abilities that I don’t. There is another coworker that started after me and hasn’t been doing it as long as me that also got promoted and I can work quicker and more efficiently then him and know more then him. They choose they’re favorites they’re friends or family they don’t have to do anything to earn it that I didn’t they were just a favorite if you are not then they don’t listen to you or care to give you a chance or opportunity to move up in the company.

During a work day we usually take great measure to ensure focus on  safety, I then use planning skills and forethought to properly prepare for the tasks at hand whether it be building and setting forms or tying re-bar. I then take my materials and safely produce while taking moments in between to conduct last minute risk assessments so as to mitigate the inherent risks involved with plant operations. In essence this is the hardest part of the job as we must make haste with production in mind, yet we must also never lose sight of safety as it is everyone's responsibility.I take enjoyment in the knowledge that I have the chance for advancement through the ABC programs college curriculum. My coworkers are professionals in the truest sense very approachable and very knowledgeable, they often take pride in who can pass on the most lessons to the new guys, all in all not a bad place to start.

What is the best part of working at the company?
They keep their employees safe, knowledgeable, and they treat you like family. They appreciate their employees by giving away things. They feed you lunch. Also, they let you vote for your holiday time off!

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Making sure you work safely and the people around you are doing the same. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
The work environment is always safety first so that you can return home to your family. The  majority of the workers are friendly and knowledgeable about the job and don't mind sharing what they know and has experienced in the past. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
In the morning we all have safety meetings where the managers share a wealth of information. Then we go to our individual group meetings. After that we do our work that we are assigned to do.  Go home when it's time. Simple and easy.

If you are looking to get your foot in the door, this is a great place to start.

This is a very unique company with a small IT team where everyone knows everyone. I passed by our IT Director to get the keys to open the helpdesk office every morning. At larger companies, that kind of thing does not happen. If you are personable, you have the opportunity to shake hands with a lot of prominent people from day one. 

T1 support will be doing the jobs of Systems support roles, you will be a jack of all trades.

You will be learning outdated software, You will be supporting things that you have not been trained on. If you are going to be successful in this field, that is a significant part of the job. 

Show up, Do your best, and spend your downtime learning something new. This could be an excellent opportunity for anyone who is eager and curious enough to present themselves as someone who is willing to learn the desk.

Typical days were up and down take the good with the bad, some days worse than others but mostly good.

Always learning something, nothing inparticular just tricks of the trade really. Sometimes my trade sometimes others, all good to know.

Probably the best company I've worked for as far as management, even the safety crew were good people. Proud to call them all friends.

My crew was a good bunch, we worked well together as well as knowing how each other worked and what to expect from each other keeping accidents to nearly zero with the exception of a few first aids.

The hardest part of any job is always getting there, past that it was mostly easy going. 

The best part of the job was good co-workers and management that worked with us as best as they could.

I worked for this company for over 15 years and I was treated poorly and like I didn't matter. I worked very hard every day and I even started to go to school to help me move up in the company. I was told I would be more valuable to the company if I did that. I was given a job 5 hours away from home and was told I would be there till the end of the project in 2021. I moved my entire family and signed a 2 year lease. I have been at this site for 1 year and was just laid off the week before Thanksgiving! none of the managers were there to do the lay off and it had to be done by one of my coworkers. I didn't even get a reason as to why I was being laid off besides " I'm so sorry I have to do this and its not coming from me. I tried to have them keep you and even tried to get you sent somewhere else but they have not returned my call. I'm so sorry. you of all people do not deserve this" 

This is a horrible company to work for.
