Tad PGS, Inc

TAD/PGS hired me to contract with Dell's IT help desk.  They were always available to serve my needs as an employee.  I never had an issue with them.

Dell IT help desk for ADT/ Tyco security companies typical day:
Taking lots of phone calls, though some days there were very few, assisting customers with various issues related to operating systems, phones, tablets, specific software and accounts.  Probably a majority of my calls were simple account unlocks/ resets.  Strict time management was enforced and plenty of quality control audits were conducted on the employees.  A time limit for calls was established, but focus was always more on quality.

The culture was somewhat stressful, but good cooperation existed between employees and management overall.  Help was always there if you needed it.

Hardest part of the job was learning the job.  It wasn't too difficult to learn, but the sheer volume of required knowledge demanded 6 months of training before I could be feel confident to solve any issue without the need to reach out for help from more experienced personnel.  

The most enjoyable part of the job was the thanks received for solving a customer's issue.  I thoroughly enjoyed feeling like a hero.

The process in place was intense. The call was handled according to the crises area or event. Each was specific and on a timeline. Most caller's were destitute without water, shelter, electricity, many had no access to roads or phone's. Everything had to be documented and specific criteria was to be followed according to where the caller was in the process of the Fema Request.  
The hardest part of the job was to tell them the guidelines and why they were not assisted or what needed to be done to be considered for approval. Was heart-breaking that so many did not meet the criteria for approval or it was such a long process. Many had to make it to a physical location even to apply because the lines of communication were down. 
The best  part of the job was All the Beautiful Latin Co-worker's that worked only to serve and to assist.

I helped source candidates for IT/Technical jobs, Military training exercises, and some light industrial positions. 
During my time at TAD PGS I learned phone etiquette, customer service, and client relations. 
The managers were great to work with and they were accommodating with my medical appointments at the VA.
Co-Workers were all very helpful teaching new employees the processes. 
Hardest part of the job was meeting deadlines for the clients. 
The most enjoyable part of this job was having a place to work where everyone was acceptable of my disability from the service. It's a great team where everyone cares about the people sitting next to them. We got to put other people to work, help them provide for their families. It was an emotionally rewarding job.

TAD PGS Inc provides other companies with skilled labor.  I had the opportunity to work on several contracts where I was able to serve those who serve in the National Guard during their annual training.  The work was challenging, but incredibly rewarding.  When I first started working these contracts (two per year and during the summer months) the pay was highly competitive.  Three years later, and that is no longer the case.  However, for eight-ten weeks worth of work it is still decent pay with which to supplement a more regular income.  TAD does not dictate schedule, management, or have any influence on the workplace culture in regards to these contracts.  To speak on any of it would be a reflection the company I was contracted out to, and not TAD.

Tad PGS isn't a terrible company, my experience just wasn't that great. At first, my recruiter was very helpful throughout the whole process. She called me the following day after I submitted my resume, I thought that was wonderful. She was there every step of the way. After I started, she disappeared. I couldn't get in contact with her until after I was let go due to injury. She had no answers and advised me to "start looking for another job". Basically, I was on my own. No support. No explaination. No real advice. Just "start submitting your resume elsewhere".

I worked as a Packer for a well known ammunition plant. The job itself was awesome and if given the chance one day, I'd definitely return. Overall, if you look for work through Tad, don't expect any support after your assignment abruptly ends or if you need assistance after you've began.

A typical day would be cold calling institutions, venues and municipalities to request an opportunity to demonstrate and train patrons on how to use the new system. Also, calls are made to manage the scheduling of all the events received, as well as, writing status reports. 

Regular management teleconference calls allowed the team to connect and strategies new ideas. This cultivated a culture that motivated the team in a positive and fun manner, which inspired a desire to perform even harder. The most difficult part of the job was the infrequency to which our entire team was able to physically meet. The most enjoyable part of the job was teaming up with  members to perform events. 

I learned that I really enjoy a fast pace environment.

This job allowed me to work on my favorite part of my craft for hours; solely editing video. Finding something like this is almost impossible in El Paso. I learned a lot of tips and tricks from the incredible mentors I had on base. Working within what was an army/military structured job was eye-opening and changed my style of work ethic for the better. Time pressure on certain assignments and the hopes that the "higher ups" will enjoy your work was always nerve racking but constructive criticism and feedback only served to make the entire experience better.

The best job I ever had. Typical work day is always fun and highly motivated. I have learned so much about how to be a team lead supervisor and I have learned about hand held video operating. The management is great and they are highly educated. My co workers are good as well. Had fun working with so many people. The hardest part of the job is just being able to work in different types of environments such as heat and rain, but that was easy for me and felt like an adventure. The most enjoyable part is just working with the soldiers knowing you are doing this to help them as well as just having motivated positive supervisors around you.

What is the best part of working at the company?
A very organized and thoughtful company. Though it was just seasonal I enjoyed every moment.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Those most stressful was trying not to have a good time.  At least in my section.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
The culture was very diverse.  Between the contractors and the soldiers.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Come in check the map see what lanes you will have your team watching.  And make sure the coffee pot stayed full.

My review of TAD PGS is nothing but positive.  The assignment had a lack of Management presence leadership or support.  Which actually probably was better we were very competent and did not need their authority and all of the Tad staff as a courtesy let them know of the daily happenings.  They were not allowed into our system to view, edit, or really monitor what we were purchasing or work with the suppliers.  It was up to us to decide the volume's, the contracts, and daily purchasing or logistics to get our material here to support our needs.
