Remington & Vernick Engineers

As a recent joiner at Remington and Vernick, I regret to say that my initial impressions have been overwhelmingly negative. Here are a few reasons why:

Lack of Onboarding Support: The onboarding process was practically non-existent. I was given a brief tour of the office and handed a stack of manuals to read through. There was no structured training program or mentorship, leaving me feeling lost and unsupported from day one. No HR department at all.

Outdated Equipment and Tools: The equipment provided to carry out my tasks was shockingly outdated. It often malfunctioned, leading to significant delays in my work. Requests for newer tools were met with vague promises that never materialized.

Poor Management Communication: Communication from management was unclear and sporadic. Important project details were often withheld until the last minute, making it impossible to plan and execute tasks efficiently. Horrible leadership.

Chaotic Work Environment: The office environment was chaotic and disorganized. 

Lack of Career Development Opportunities: Despite assurances during the interview process, there have been no discussions about career development or growth opportunities within the company. It seems like there is little interest in nurturing talent from within.

Low Morale Among Team Members: Morale among my colleagues appeared to be low. There was a pervasive sense of disillusionment and frustration, which further contributed to a negative work atmosphere.

Overall, my experience at Remington and Vernick has been deeply disappointing. The company's disregard for employee support, outdated infrastructure, and poor communication have made it difficult for me to perform my job effectively. Unless there are significant improvements, I cannot recommend Remington and Vernick as a desirable workplace for anyone seeking a fulfilling career in engineering.

During my time at Remington and Vernick Engineers, I have faced several significant challenges that have affected my job satisfaction and performance. Despite my best efforts, these key issues have persisted:

Lack of Support: I have consistently struggled to obtain the necessary support from both my team and management. Essential resources and guidance have often been unavailable, hindering my ability to complete tasks efficiently and meet project deadlines. Additionally, I frequently encounter inappropriate jokes and comments, which create a challenging environment, particularly for women.

Ineffective Communication: Communication within the team has been problematic, with recurring issues around unclear project requirements and expectations. This has led to confusion and inefficiencies. Efforts to address these concerns with management have not resulted in meaningful improvements.

Limited Professional Development: Opportunities for professional growth and development within the company are minimal. Despite my interest in further training and career advancement, there has been little support or encouragement to pursue these goals. The company lacks innovation and shows no inclination to pursue it in the future.

Work Environment: The work environment has been unsupportive, with unaddressed workplace concerns and a lack of inclusivity. These issues have negatively impacted team morale and made collaboration challenging. The complete lack of a decent Human Resources Department makes things worse!

While I appreciate the opportunity to be part of the team, these issues have significantly affected my experience and performance. I hope these concerns can be addressed to improve working conditions and support for current and future employees. I am also surprised by the complete lack of onboarding for new hires.

During my time at Remington and Vernick Engineers, I have encountered several significant challenges that have impacted my overall job satisfaction and performance. Despite my best efforts, several key issues have persisted:

Lack of Support: I have consistently struggled to receive adequate support from my team and management. Critical resources and guidance that are essential for my role have been frequently unavailable, making it difficult to complete tasks efficiently and meet project deadlines. This is not a place for "women" and I encounter issues with this all the time. Inappropriate jokes/comments on a daily basis!

Ineffective Communication: Communication within the team has been problematic. There is a recurring lack of clarity in project requirements and expectations, which has led to confusion and inefficiencies. Efforts to address these issues with management have not resulted in meaningful improvements.

Limited Professional Development: Opportunities for professional growth and development within the company are limited. Despite expressing interest in further training and career advancement, there has been minimal support or encouragement in pursuing these goals. This company has no innovation and no desire to be innovative anytime in the future.

Work Environment: The work environment has been less than supportive, with instances of unaddressed workplace concerns and a lack of inclusivity. This has affected team morale and has made it challenging to work collaboratively.

While I appreciate the chance to be part of the team, these issues have significantly impacted my experience and job performance. I hope that these concerns can be addressed to improve the working conditions and support for current and future employees.
I am shocked at the lack of onboarding for new employees. It does not exist.

My experience as a construction manager at Remington and Vernick Engineers left much to be desired. From start to finish, all our projects are plagued with inefficiencies and poor communication, reflecting poorly on the company's reputation. No training and a very poor Human Resources department.

Firstly, scheduling was a nightmare. Deadlines were consistently missed without prior notice or explanation, causing frustrating delays that impacted our entire project timeline. This lack of accountability was a recurring theme throughout our engagement. New inspectors are given no training at all, and the company only focuses on "Billable Time" even having us bill time on rain days to do things like "Inspect Pipe" and "Inspect soil erosion and sediment control" when no work is being done.

Furthermore, the quality of workmanship was subpar. I encountered numerous errors and oversights that required costly rework and corrections. It was clear that attention to detail was not a priority for  Remington and Vernick, resulting in unnecessary expenses and headaches for our team.

Communication was another significant issue. Responses to inquiries were slow and often vague, leaving me feeling uninformed and disconnected from the progress of my own project. Clear and timely communication is crucial in construction management, and this company fell short in every aspect.

Overall, my experience with being a construction manager at Remington and Vernick Engineering has been highly disappointing. Their inability to meet deadlines, deliver quality work, and maintain effective communication reflects poorly on their professionalism and competence. I would caution others considering working or this company,  my experience has been far from satisfactory.

My time at Remington and Vernick was a disappointing and frustrating experience that ultimately led me to seek employment elsewhere. There were several significant issues that made working there challenging.

Firstly, the company culture was toxic. There was a pervasive lack of respect for employees' time and contributions. They lack a proper HR department. Management often disregarded input from junior staff members, which led to poor decision-making and inefficiencies in project execution.

Secondly, the workload was unreasonably heavy. There was a constant pressure to meet unrealistic deadlines without adequate resources or support. This resulted in long hours and a high level of stress among the team, contributing to a negative work-life balance.

Moreover, communication within the company was severely lacking. Important information was frequently not shared promptly or effectively, leading to misunderstandings and delays in project progress. It often felt like there was a disconnect between different departments, making collaboration difficult and frustrating.

Additionally, career development opportunities were minimal. There was little investment in employee growth or training, which hindered professional advancement and job satisfaction.

In conclusion, my experience at Remington and Vernick was marked by poor management, excessive workload, lack of an HR department, ineffective communication, and a lack of opportunities for growth. I would caution anyone considering employment with this company to carefully evaluate their options and consider whether the environment aligns with their career goals and values.

Upon joining this company, I found myself thrust into a challenging situation without the promised mentorship that was discussed during my interview. To date, I have yet to encounter anyone who has experienced the mentorship they were assured of from the outset. The management prioritizes the influx of tasks over employee development, often reacting negatively when employees struggle to meet expectations, despite lacking the necessary skills or support to deliver on promised outcomes.

Furthermore, there have been significant issues with the allocation of billable work. It appears that managers withhold assignments without explanation, only to inundate employees with multiple tasks with tight deadlines at once. Despite consistently performing tasks at the level of a Project Engineer, my compensation remains constrained by the title assigned by the company.
The company lacks decent leadership, they changed president and VP a few years ago and after that, everything went downhill. New leaders don't want to spend a dime on the company. Plus, they have no HR department. None at all, just for recruiting. After your first day, they 1st 10 minutes you will never see them again.

Given these circumstances, I cannot in good conscience recommend this company as an employer. My colleagues and I frequently exchange job postings in search of opportunities to extricate ourselves from this detrimental environment.

Upon joining R&V, I was immediately confronted with a challenging situation, devoid of the mentorship promised during my interview. 
To this day, I have yet to encounter anyone who has received the mentoring they were assured of from the outset. 
Management prioritizes task volume over employee development, often reacting negatively when employees struggle to meet expectations, despite lacking the necessary skills or support to deliver on promised outcomes. Lack of a HR department does not help.

Additionally, there have been significant issues with the allocation of billable work. Managers seem to withhold assignments arbitrarily, only to overwhelm employees with multiple tasks and tight deadlines all at once. 
Despite consistently performing duties at the level of a Senior Civil Engineer with a PE, my compensation remains tethered to the title assigned by the company.

The leadership vacuum is palpable; since the recent change in presidency and vice presidency, the company has spiraled downwards. The new leadership shows little inclination to invest in the company's future, and the absence of a functional HR department exacerbates matters; there is minimal support beyond initial recruitment. After the first day, you rarely see them again.

Under these conditions, I cannot conscientiously recommend this company as an employer. My colleagues and I frequently share job postings in our collective effort to escape this toxic environment.

I had high hopes for Remington and Vernick given their reputation in the engineering sector, but my experience with them is far from satisfactory. The issues started right from the start of my employment.

Firstly, communication was a major problem. The leadership was frequently unresponsive and failed to provide timely updates. It was often a struggle to get clear answers or even a basic status update. This lack of communication led to delays and a general sense of frustration.

Secondly, the quality of work was below expectations. The final deliverables did not meet the agreed-upon specifications, and there were numerous technical issues that required additional fixes. When we raised these concerns, the responses were dismissive, and the solutions provided were either temporary or ineffective.

On top of all this, the professionalism of the leadership is lacking. I encountered several instances of unaddressed mistakes and an apparent lack of attention to detail. The final outcome was far from the high standards one would expect from a reputable engineering firm.

Overall, my experience with Remington and Vernick is highly disappointing. They failed to deliver on their promises, lacked effective communication, and provided subpar work. I would not recommend them based on my experience and would advise potential candidates to carefully consider their options before engaging with this company.



In the beginning, work was fulfilling and exciting, but lately, it's become overly critical, leaving associates fearful of speaking up due to potential retaliation. Management seems to operate outside company policies with no oversight from corporate. Leadership is a joke, the old leadership was great and this used to be a great company, you were proud to say you worked for RVE. No more!

The HR department is nonexistent, and new leadership has drastically changed the company for the worse. What was once a source of pride to work for R&V is now considered a joke. New employees receive little to no training, with a sole focus on billable work.

I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone; the turnover rate is alarmingly high, and working there is likely to be a regrettable experience. Managers and other departments frequently scapegoat employees for their own mistakes, fostering a culture of fear and hostility. Again, the turnover rate is super high! Way higher than any company in the area!

Working at R&V may yield financial rewards, but it's rife with internal politics. No matter your qualifications or experience, advancement depends more on who you know than what you know. Long-term employees are leaving in droves, unable to endure the toxic environment any longer.

Pros: Absolutely none.
Cons: Everything – from poor leadership and management to the absence of an HR department.





Initially, the work environment at R&V was highly productive and enjoyable, making it exciting to come to work. However, recently, the atmosphere has become increasingly judgmental, with associates feeling afraid to speak up due to concerns about retaliation. Management appears to disregard company policies, acting independently of corporate oversight.

The HR department is virtually nonexistent, and the new leadership has only worsened the situation. The company has lost its former reputation of pride and respect, and is now viewed as a joke. New employees receive no proper training, and the focus is solely on "billable" work.

I wouldn’t recommend working here. The turnover rate is alarmingly high, and the lack of an effective HR department compounds the issues. Managers often shift blame onto others for their own mistakes, and fear-based tactics are used to drive results. The work tasks are overwhelming and unrealistic, contributing to a hostile work environment.

While R&V might offer a paycheck, it comes with a heavy dose of internal politics. Regardless of your education or experience, if you don’t have the right connections, you’re likely to be overlooked. Many long-term employees, some with over 20 years of service, have left because they can no longer tolerate the environment.
