Prism Electric Inc

If you are a team player, know how to play the corporate game with management, and go by the book and follow proper procedures in all you do....  there is potentially a future for you at Prism. They’re well-established and doing high quality repeat business with mostly desirable top-tier customers. Find your niche or be a reliable source of knowledge and keep your head down and work hard, and eventually you will be noticed and possibly even rewarded. Don’t cut corners on safety or policies, maintain a high level of personal integrity/ accountability, and you could go far- but.... the chain of command is blurry at times and some “managers” aren’t as skilled (technically) as a decent helper in the trade. Policy is extremely important and many things are zero-tolerance and enforced, especially involving safety practices and regulations. The culture is good and most guys working here are decent folks, but I did see a bit of micromanagement during my time and was expected to work many late days, night shifts, emergency calls, out of town jobs, etc. but I feel what I received was worth the effort and what I gave back.

unfortunately I had to bad luck of having to work for a crew leader who was also new to the company and he created a hostile work environment. benefits were great, even set you up with tools if u are just starting your electric career. They are affiliated with the IEC school for electrical contractors which is the best school in DFW to learn the trade and encourage you to join. if I was working with a different crew/nicer dude I probably would have stayed but I couldn't get switched and I had issues with attendance so I probably wouldn't have kept my job after the project was done. the company does try to accommodate you with their multiple jobsites based on where u live. the jobsite I worked at had a big emphasis on safety and they even do things like a group stretch in the morning. there was a lot of good people at the parkland jobsite. they even changed the hours due to the COVID issue, (10 hour days Mon-Thur)

When I hired here at Prism I thought this place was going to be great. They have great ideas, great processes, and what seemed like a great company. Well the view leaving this place is so different than the view coming in. 

This organization puts the field last. They have very high expectations of there filed teams and offer no support to them. This is a recipe for disaster, it is also the same reason every job ends up a disaster. The Corporate office thinks the field teams are responsible, without ever holding themselves accountable. 

This was a nightmare to work here. I do not  recommend anyone else work here.

When I got hired on as a service tech. I got no truck, no gas card, no tablet. Just ppe and a jobsite. A week or so passed and I noticed that all Prism does now is service no new construction. In fact the Company was so corrupt that the whole New Construction side was let go. From PMs to Estimators down to the apprentices. They only had 4-6 service trucks running. The jobs they were getting was mainly commericial buildings and apartnments that needed to be brought up to code. The whole moral of the company was low and the dispatcher was not the ideal candidate for the position. Add angry supervisor to the list and it was a dumpster fire. Maybe things have changed in the last 2 years but I will avoid them like the plague.

Personally I had a wonderful experience working with Prism. Like anything else if you treat others with respect you'll get the same in return. My coworkers and team leaders were never an issue and instead I dearly missed them when I left. I started with Prism right out of highschool and was right of the bat helped out and giving advice on growing in the trade and in life. I saw my coworkers as father figures and they took great care of me through my learning stage. Personally I belive they have built a good work evironment that doesn't overkill you but is definitely as demanding as a construction job should be.

Prism is the major leagues of electrical!  If you want just an average job and go to Bob and Tom electric!  If you want to work on the best projects with the best technology then apply at Prism!

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
In the Tulsa market it is a close group and everyone works really well together and they care about each other!

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Work hard and get rewarded!  Structure is A1 and they make sure everyone feels like they are apart of the team!

Typical day at work involves being berated by your foreman, not having clear instructions of your tasks. indecisiveness from supervisors, witnessing theft, but none of this comes before the morning meetings, where your pretentious "leaders" put on their happy faces and do little stretches with you for 20 minutes. Oh and they love to complain about your attendance. being one second late because someone in front of you wouldnt clock in fast enough is your fault, but being early is also an issue, and youre not compensated for clocking in early, make that make sense. 
 30 seconds late clocking in because someone in front of you took too long clocking in 

I was surprised at how much inexperience there was at the jobsite I was on for a company this size, and the sheer magnitude of the job. The disorganization was comendable as well, that truly takes dedication. The silver lining is that these people will work you 7 days a week, so plenty of OT. Don't worry about having a life outside work though, they'll make sure to write you up and set you straight if it starts to affect your ability to live at the jobsite. Afterall, someone has to carry all those charity cases on their shoulder.    

Disrespectful ungrateful leadership. They try and work with you the best they can, but thats not saying much. Working in the service departrment was somthing new every week. There is no consistency and youll have to work with guys who were meant to work alone. The culture can be toxic but thats just the way alot of the foreman were brought up i guess. I was let go during the pandemic and couldnt even get goodluck with everything from mangement. They wouldnt even pay out my remaining vacation time. If you dont care for stability and dont need and stable job then this is the place for you.

What is the best part of working at the company?
The work. Always plenty of it.
The crews. Easy to get along with and your rated on your experience and knowledge not your years in the trade.
The pay. As good if not better then union pay and always better then other open shops.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Not alot of stress. Your not overloaded or given more then you can handle. And if you are they don't hold it against you as long as you let them know you need help.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Good and positive from everyone..
