Primoris Services Corporation

Primoris is a wonderful workplace to be apart of. The work culture and environment are fantastic. Everyone is supportive on day-to-day tasks as the work we do is quite collaborative. PSC has great hiring practices and look for what makes a person stand out and they do their best to match you to a role that both challenges you and allows you to learn and grow. The transparency between different departments is also helpful as everyone has an open door policy and is willing to help others understand the processes of that department. This allows our estimating team to understand what other departments need from us to streamline their work which allows us to provide the well put together proposals to our clients. 

I've personally learned about the construction industry more in my time with Primoris than any other company in my professional career. It is a competitive, fast-paced, deadline based working environment, but this allowed for me to be exposed to many different types of industrial projects in a short amount of time providing more clarity on industrial construction practices for both maintenance, new construction, and brown field projects.

As Primoris grows there is so much opportunity for growth and learning. Since the company is growing rapidly Primoris is often asking individuals about their goals and future career paths. Having regular reviews allows for a person to understand what needs to be worked on, how they can be supported, and where they want to amount to within their Career. They provide resources open to all individuals and often offer opportunities to collaborate with different departments so that individual can recognize their strengths and be open to new and different opportunities.


Work-life balance
There is no work life balance. You have to work when you are told. No exceptions or you will be fired

Pay & benefits
you do get health insurance and a pension, but they take $5.75 per hour out of your paycheck for it, and it is not optional, you have to have the insurance.

Job security and advancement
no job security. You will be fired for not showing up if you have a funeral. No advancement in the company.

Management
The company plays favorites. And you better not complainin about anything, including not having enough hours. If you complain your hours get cut more. You also have to be a driver to get the most hours.

Culture
Apply with caution. Do not apply if you have a family, if you cant hold your blatter (bc sometimes you work 10 hours without a bathroom break, and you never get a lunch), you can only work certain hours, you need days off, you can't work weekends, you don't have a fed med card, you can't stand cold or hot weather.

Overall
Apply with caution. You are on call 24/7. They do not tell you this when you start the job but its true. Do not apply if you have a family, if you cant hold your blatter (bc sometimes you work 10 hours without a bathroom break, and you never get a lunch), if you can only work certain hours, you need days off, you can't work weekends, you don't have a fed med card, you can't stand cold or hot weather. This job is NOT sweet because of the $19.25 pay. $5.75 per hour is takin from your paycheck for the insurance package, and this is not optional, you have to take it. You do not, and will not get paid PTO or sick days. You may work 8 hours in one week, and you may work 70 hours in one week. You never know. Please think before you apply.

This place is has the worst management. More than half of the time they are not available. When I stared I was never trained. I had to learn through people and what they knew. The bosses show favoritism to the weak employees since they will do whatever it takes to be employed. I got the vibe that they do not care for Hispanics. Majority of the culture is white. You really have to know someone in order to keep your job and be noticed. They take your job from you and hand you something else. You are always on your toes not knowing if you will have a job the coming day. Management skills are awful. They keep everything a secret from their employees. One female manager has her favorites and will tell them everything that is going on with the company since she is not confidential. Many employees do not have a high school diploma or even degree and make more money than those who do. The office environment is very hostile. Several employees look down on you and don't make you feel welcome. Several are able to work from home on a daily basis and when others ask for a day off it is frowned upon. You have to kiss butt in order to make it in this company. I thought this would have been a great place to work and succeed, I was proved wrong. Think twice before you even consider working here unless you want to be underpaid and be blamed for stuff done by others.

I started off as an Electrician Laborer with an Electrical Engineering degree, January 2023. Pay was in the low 20s, but I earned my keep everyday. I was taught how to terminate MV, DC (among other tasks), and was never treated disrespectfully. The culture is one of the best out there in terms of teamwork and training. 

You'll heard drama here and there about your coworkers but keep in mind it's none of our business. You're there to make money and make yourself a useful worker, and an integral part of a successful team. Stay away from all of that and you'll find that everyone will either appreciate you for doing so or will at least not have any negative opinions about you. 

What my superiors appreciated from me was that I was never complaining about my tasks and was always enthusiastic about my work.  I'm now a field Engineer getting paid double what I was in the field, and I can honestly say I was blessed to be integrated with an incredible team.

Work hard, don't b*tch and moan,  follow the tennets, and build the right relationships within your team. 

There is plenty of opportunity for growth here. 

This is my first review ever. I joined PRE in 2019 and it was a great small company of 50 employees with lots of cultural habits. When they grew up to a larger company with over 200 employees their cultural habits had changed and became worse and worse every year. And their managerial habits got very bad as well, like micromanaging greatly appreciated in that company. I do not want to say they have achieved a bottom yet, but if they will continue like that they will be at the bottom very soon. Their upper management is nothing more then a sack of bullies and liars. They are making tons of money, but they are trying to squeeze their way out of not providing the simple tools like the standards subscription or the required software that you need to perform your job well. Otherwise, their pay was fair. They do have bonuses based on performance. I would recommend Primoris as a step between jobs. If you want to built a career and you an honest person and hardworking employee, you’d better staying away from the Primoris Renewable Energy. 

If you have just certified in a craft, or have a desire to increase your certification there are people willing to teach you and opportunities to advance within a project. Turn-arounds are fast-paced with each day bringing in a new application of needed skills. Many of the supervisors are old hands from the James Construction days, and are very experienced craftsmen as well as crew supervisors.  This is not a double-time company, but it is a good company to work for. If you volunteer for the occasional overtime, you will be recognized and rewarded by being moved to active crews as each phase of completion occurs, rather than being laid-off with that phase.

PSC has a very toxic work environment. They will punish you for taking off by cutting your hours, even for something like attending a funeral.  Management lacks the ability to lead. They frequently made up and lied about "policies" to fit their needs at the time. Breaks are not given, even when working 10-12 hours shifts. Work life balance is unheard of.  The boss said,  " I own you, Monday- Friday from 5am to 5pm. I also expect you to answer the phone if I call at 3am." When working a night job,  management was more concerned with spending money on a fresh pack of batteries than your actual safety.  Lights given for nightshifts would dim or go out mid shift, leaving you at 3am at the mercy of car lights to see you.  I would never work here again. 

I'm comfortable with my work, happy in my daily routine, I have a lots of friends, I learned a lot that can help to improve my skills & abilities. The management is kind to everyone & approachable when it comes to personal needs & benefits. The hardest part is considered as challenging part of my job and the most enjoyable part was the time  when we held a meeting with the employees because it is the time we can discuss all the concerns of each department and sometimes even the personal problems with each other. But my unforgettable and the happiest part of my entire working here was the last day of my duty because it is my  birthday! they prepared a surprise party for me.
