Between the benefits, work incentives and the people you work with this place is truly a blessing in my life! My typical day as a porter is I start my job at 6:30 am and do a morning walkthrough where I turn on all the lights in the building, fill up fridges with sodas, get the news papers and make sure there are no visible problems with the building. Then typically I go outside and pickup trash and empty the cigarette cans and throw it all in the dumpster. By that time I typically will have breakfast to go and get for a company meeting or training. After setting up breakfast I do a walkthrough of the building straightening up the conference rooms and making sure the bathrooms are stocked full of supplies as well as making sure there are no leaks. Then I continue my walks helping out whoever might need me and awaiting a phone call from my boss letting me know that he has something for me to do. Then I typically get lunch for the company meetings, new hires and or trainings at about 11/11:30. After setting up the lunches in the conference rooms i get to go to lunch for an hour. After I get back from my break I continue my duties as a porter until it is time for me to go. I’ve learned so many things from this job including construction, plumbing, how to drive a large truck, or to operate a forklift and so many more things! I truly enjoy my management my boss can be a bit cranky sometimes but I truly understand and he’s extremely hardworking so he expects the same from me as well. My supervisors are amazing men, they are really kind and great people they prefer to be laissez faire when it comes to managing their employees. The culture of prime controls is kind of like a big family, we have tons of different cultures amongst everyone that works here but one thing everyone has in common is that you are treated like family and respected! The best part of my job is definitely helping others for sure it’s something I do often and it helps me make work relationships with my coworkers and makes them appreciate me! 

I came in as an experienced electrician, the work atmosphere was great but at some point I  got discouraged due to co-workers feeling intimidated,  so any opportunity to go behind your back and point out the smallest mistake they would do it, instead of trying to help,  I was under the impression that we we're a team,  then you have leadership who help there buddies get hired on so their buddies influence leadership to do whatever they want them to do if they don't like you. 
I think the company would be a better company if everyone would really act as a team instead of every one only thinking of themselves,  when a mistake is made every one plays the blame game , "who can we blame this on,". Any mistakes I've ever made is because I was staying busy and I didn't do anything others haven't done a thousand times. Overall I appreciate the opportunity and the experience in the control electrical aspect of this trade.

I loved my time at Prime Controls, this company cares about their employees. The manager treated us like professionals and adults, there was no "micro management" at all, if a project was given to you, he expected it completed within the time-frame he gave. He did not hound you for updates, as a professional you would just provide updates to keep him in the loop as well as your other team members.  I worked with a great team and we all helped each other when we needed it and it was great to finally work with a team who shared their knowledge and we all got a long great. I gained a lot of new knowledge during my time there and I enjoyed the team and management greatly.

No day seems typical and each day brings new challenges.
The team is blessed with high energy, get it done associates, that aren't afraid of whatever technical support issue they may be addressing. Overall management is adjusting to the steady growth the company has been experiencing and seems focused on the areas of the business that should continue this growth. Challenges include staying up to date on existing and emerging technologies, while continuing to support the legacy systems that the company has been built on. In summary, a good company with caring management and great individuals.

Good benefits;  including annual employee appreciation events, free Healthcare if working full-time and ability to work from home if needed. It's a family oriented business. So, if you're not related to anyone, you're not likely to get promotions or recognition. Too much rumor/trolling if you demonstrate better skills than others which can lead to a hostile work environment.
