Protec Equipment Resources

Great health benefits. They offer free food (more like snacks befitting a teenager/college kid a.k.a. unhealthy food).

First, the offices are tiny. It's just made up of suites connected together. They desperately need to find a bigger office where everyone can freely collaborate and communicate. Putting people in separate, tiny offices or suites within a team is not going to work. 

Second, the training was all over the place with no direction or guidance. By day 2, they were piling papers left and right on my desk and just walked off with zero explanation of what they wanted me to do. 

Software and IT were a huge joke. They need an in-house IT who can set things up instead of using outdated, inefficient software that were all connected remotely which meant everything was running slowly. 

After a week, I saw enough to know this company was going nowhere cause there was no organization or direction. They kept saying it was growing, but they had nothing to show for it or any plans. The people that were already hired a while back were (sorry to say) incompetent with no technical skill set. When asked to explain why certain things were in place, I got a blank face in response and was just offered written notes by a previously fired employee. Just overall, meh. 

I get the sense they truly care for their employees and such, but they need to also put that same energy in creating business goals and plans.

Protec was a great entry level job for sales. The requirements were easy enough at the beginning, answer the phones and take orders. 

As time went on and new responsibilities were asked, the pay did not match. The company will squeeze all effort from the employee and not give anything in return. You will be required to work evenings and weekends. Be sure to understand the exact details of your commission or it will not be paid, which happened for multiple departments in this company. 

There is little room for advancement, as new managers are brought in from the outside and very few individuals are promoted. You will likely be told to not worry about titles, as money will come without them; but you will likely not get either. 

They also required non-essential personnel to drive to work during the February 2021 storm, putting them in danger. The care for the employee is not there. 

You can work your butt off for them and they will leave you high and dry without a manager or any help for 6+ months and then as soon as you get hurt they fly two people out immediately showing that they could have helped you that whole time preventing your injury in the first place. Then like greedy vultures they wait till you are off workmens to fire you for no reason given. 
The direct management is fine and good bunch of dudes but higher ups will hide anything they can from you and not relay any information until it happens leaving the entire company to never feel stable. Not to mention them changing standard operating procedures atleast once a month.
For your own sanity and safety stay far far away they are tribalstic at their core and without proper leadership (which if they do get they tend to fire if they disagree with top brass) 

When I started with the company there was clear structure and good management in place. Shortly after the retirement of a key leader all focus and structure quickly disappeared. There was very little experience of the real world sales cycle, development, and retention. You can work hard and grow revenue only to be met with micromanagement. 

The leadership is constantly changing the bonus/commission structure to fit their needs with no regard to the previous agreement made at the time of employment. That in turn leads to employees constantly being denied previously promised money.

The lack of leadership and clear vision for a company identity will plague this company until changes are made from the top down. 

The job itself is easy. It's the expectations that become difficult as they revolve based on what management is currently in the hot water for from ownership. One day you'll be told to focus on one thing, them the next, focus on something else instead of building a well rounded time managed role. There's little direction and feels more like a rat race to complete everyday as if the situation is on fire to finish. 

I have worked at Protec for some time and really enjoy coming to work.  The business is fast paced and growing at accelerated rate.  The opportunities for career advancement come quickly for those who don't mind taking the time to learn the industry.  It is a relatively small company that understands needs of employees and helps its employees if it is needed.  Definitely recommend the company.

Mid sized company with a lot of growing pains. The hierarchy and nepotism is bad and it shows. It shows in employee satisfaction and turn-over. Training is non-existent and many managers are underqualified for their position. It's a great place if you want to just feel like a number and are ok with the lack of growth and innovations. The processes change too much and too many people are scapegoated for them. 

What is the best part of working at the company?
No micromanaging, casual attire 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Lack of teamwork, unprofessional leadership 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Laid-back but unprofessional 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Staying very busy as I was the only person attending to all of the AP side of accounting

Fast growing company with room for individual growth for those that work hard. Great industry to be in that is also growing rapidly. The growth can be challenging for some to adapt to but those that see it as an opportunity consistently succeed. 

Job itself is not hard, but becomes hard when the team doesn’t complete their tasks or really work for that matter and are covered for by management in doing so. Being new puts pressure to not say what really is going on for fear of being terminated.
