Productive Resources

Productive Resources excels in placing resources with on site clients. Those clients and the experience gained are invaluable.

There is little interaction with management. Benefits are poor with everything being negotiated. For example if you want vacation its taken out of your hourly rate. I question the accuracy of other reviews since Productive Resources did not offer paid holidays, your PTO is used. PTO is accrued yearly, so year two or even year five you start over on the accrual process. One percent raises tend to occur bi-yearly, raises are not something to expect.

The on-site resources get very little support from management. There are very few advancement opportunities in the company.

The owner, business leaders, supervisors and workers were all cheerful and fun to work with every day.  Each technical writer kept track of their own time to complete each job within the expected guidelines. The work was fast paced, highly technical and very interesting.  We were writing technical manuals related to turbine engine operation & maintenance for Rolls-Royce. 

The most enjoyable part of the job was the feeling that you were working in a family environment.

For a while we were reverse engineering a competitor’s machine. Then, the next project was to write code, which I hadn’t done in 20 years. The job description was for software testing, not writing code, but that didn’t stop them from demanding me to write it. Since I didn’t have immediate skills, the manager gave me an impossible task to complete. After attempting that, my time there was done. ✅ 

Work would include checking emails, getting onto the web links that tracked work and communicating about tasks needing to be complete. Using NX 7.5 and Team Center to complete jobs along with other systems. Many times you work closely with colleagues to complete deadlines and insure quality. There are many chances to brainstorm and problem solve in this workplace. We have many changes in what needs done and how to do it most effectively.

Mostly remote employment.
Management is very helpful and great! Loved my coworkers and direct supervisor. 
They are always there to lift you and grow and boy have I grown over these years.

Everything is perfect and they even send you personalized cards during holidays and birthdays which adds to the care they show you and your well being.

As a young Mechanical Engineer, I desired experiences and travelling to be a part of my career. I went to PR for all my contracting needs and found satisfaction in each position they were able to offer. Towards the middle of my career, I decided to settle for a longer term direct-hire role and they worked around the clock until they found the perfect match. They are highly dedicated and always willing to go to bat for their employees.

It's a great place for entry level designers or even engineers. They have a lot of opportunities on-site with large companies, and potential to land a permanent spot within those companies. Working in the design center is also a rewarding job, but less opportunity there. Also a good company for someone that has been out of the field for a while and wanting to work back into it.

Being an engineering services company, they have a diversified portfolio of different clients. Even when a client decided to cancel a large chunk of PR's contract, PR was able to find other clients for most of the employees to work for. Health/ retirement benefits are ok, but could be a lot better. 

Helping supplier comply with customer requirements is very interesting and drives one to excel in everything you do. Daily activity is not written in stone, you can learn something new everyday. Management support is excellent they are always there to hear you out and help where you need them.

They pay well, but all benefits are optional.  They were very up-front about all of that and it is a good relationship for the near term.  I just needed something with the full boat of benefits.
