Techserv Engineering and Consulting

Poor training and unclear expectations when you first start training and Extreme micro management. Terrible software that crashes daily and goes against your performance which if it isn’t to standard you will be fired without warning or notice. Seen it happen to good people. The PC’s (project coordinators) are an absolute joke. Extremely unprofessional and talk about their underwear, bowl movements and etc. They are supposed to be there to help new designers but will constantly ask you to post the question in the Teams chat or ask another designer all while they are huddled around a computer together laughing and cutting up and you’re losing valuable time for your performance. I would definitely rank this as the worst job I’ve ever had. Sadly I quit a job to go work there without knowing techserv is a revolving door and has a high turnover rate. If you want to stress every week if you’re going to have a job the next week this is the place for you. If you want job security and support don’t bother with techserv. 

Working here was one of the worst job experiences I’ve ever had. You are nothing but a number to them, and they make that very clear from day one. Upper management couldn’t care less about their employees, it’s all about numbers, and protecting themselves. There is zero support, zero appreciation, and zero concern for your  well-being or thoughts. When you try to speak up about issues, you get ignored or made to feel like you’re the problem. Hard work means nothing here, and there is absolutely no loyalty from management toward the people who keep the place running. They will burn you out, replace you, and move on without a second thought. The environment is dull, morale is awful, and it feels like everyone is just counting down the minutes until they can leave. I wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone ever. Don't mess up once or you are gone.

This company is a great place to get your foot into the door. They work with school schedules and try to put you where you will thrive. In the office, there’s a few different projects you could be on, each consisting of their own methods/CAD tools. Training is there, but depending on the project it may not be the greatest. There’s a sense of “sink or swim” within the environment. At the end of the day, it’s a production gig and the only thing that matters are the numbers. If you are used to that concept, and adapt to change easily and catch on quickly, you’ll thrive. If not, this place isn’t for you. 

The hardest part of the job is making sure you are producing and keeping pace with the quotas. If you fall behind, you are more likely to fall even more behind due to having to formulate excuses and make new trackers. There is alot of pressure to perform at every level below engineer. Engineers get a little more breathing room for some reason. You will have techs earning less and producing more than engineers. You need to have your head in the right place to work in the environment that they create.

You get free soda though.

Working at TechServ was a rollercoaster. One I was sad but also grateful to get off of. I enjoyed working with the team and managers I worked primarily with but once I was switched to a different manager, things changed drastically. I went from feeling like a supported and encouraged adult to constantly feeling like I was back in high school due to the back stabbing and drama going on. The manager I was switched to wasnt a bad guy, our expectations and management styles just clashed. 

Benefits weren't the best and pay was far below average once you got experience. GREAT place to get into distribution design though with zero experience. But pay increases aren't competitive at all. 

What is the best part of working at the company?
no micromanaging they empower their employees

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
stopping a job due to unsafe behavior by an individual or crew

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Great! all us inspectors worked in unison for one goal. working safely and having our crews return home the same way they came to work or better.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
visiting with foremans  via phone in the mornings and dealing with issues and concerns  as well as visiting with crews in the afternoon

When I first started there, I was doing well and really impressed the bosses with my ability to learn quick. After a year working there, I got promoted to project coordinator, manager told me that if I wait 2 months on the pay raise, I’ll be well rewarded, so I agreed to it. After 8 months go by, never got my raised then I put my 2 weeks notice with the job that paid me well and they immediately fired me right away. 
They don’t care about you. Just your impressive work to impress their clients. 

This place is an absolute joke. There is no real experience or knowledge you can gain from this company, other than how to use their proprietary software. 
Management and leadership is some of the worst I've ever seen, they offer no support and take no responsibility for their failings. 
They pay is merely "ok" for the work but definitely not worth all the  BS thay comes with the job. Oh, and the benefits are trash. 
If you are just in desperate  need of a job, sure go ahead and work here but I would advise actively looking for something else. 

I truly loved working with these guys.  While working for these guys I got my 1st exposure to the Katapult pro software.  I quickly became familiar with the software and was able to train others how to use it. Although they hired me to just be a field Tech I was quickly thrust it into the assistant coordinator for all of Ohio within the 1st 3 days of being on the workside. I truly enjoyed every minute of working for these guys. If I could do all over again I wouldn't change a thing. Well maybe one thing, I would stay...

Management is like dealing with high school sophomores and you cannot believe anything they say to you. They say one thing to your face and believe another. Why would you want to work for people whose word you cannot trust?
