The Boring Company

This company will lure you in with equity that might be worth something in a decade or two, while offering a salary way under competitive market value. Once in, they'll pressure you to essentially live there. Leadership culture is obsessed with the mission to expand at all costs and as quickly as possible, caring about nothing else. Most people quit within about 4 months while some make it a year or two until they're burnt out or complete used up and drained. Everyone is overworked because the company refuses to hire enough people to get the work done or pay a salary that make the effort expected worthwhile. The turnover rate across the whole company is incredibly high, which is why the job postings are always up. Good luck.

long stressful hours with employees who know nothing. The hiring system sucks because they are not willing to pay for good employees. They expect a lot for such little pay and no room for growth. While working here as a forman, i watched them let a lot of good workers go while they kept the lazy, not so hard working people to prevent raises. At first i thought this was a good company but after almost 2 years of working for them i realized just how dirty they are . i would not recommend this company to anyone who needs a job. They do not care about there employees.

Definitely one of the most cultured job I have ever worked in. If you actually get involved and work the OG are good co-workers and are willing to teach you anything. The management is eh but it's expect from a fast growing company with the scales of the job and operations. The HR department is probably the worst department you have ever had to deal with.

While during the interview, they sugar coat everything. Once you start working, it's all go, go, go!! I've never had to choose between family and work. So, I chose my family. 

The pay is decent. Most workers are awesome. Management on the other hand are otherwise. They feel as though they know it all, when in reality they can barely comprehend safety. Safety is mentioned all day long, but never put into practice. If you need work, go ahead. but you'll quickly find out the reality of the matter. 

GOOD LUCK./

Very exciting mission, strong leadership, and long 12 hr days full of challenges. Would not recommend commuting more than 15 minutes to work. You will basically be overloaded immediately with work and be rewarded with more projects as faster than  you can finish them. If you sleep at your desk you be promoted. Cons: engineers you’ll likely be on call 24/7. The crews do rest on Sunday which is also good time to work on your project. Don’t have any hobbies or meaningful family time and you’ll be set.

I enjoyed my time there and for the most part the managers, directors and employees that I supported were a pleasure to work with.  Like anywhere, there were a few who were less than pleasant however the ability to move around the company and change teams was excellent.  It's unfortunate the company has been hit with so many steep operational mountains to climb the last few years.   

So far it’s been all really easy and straightforward. The company definitely has a bright future. Must have good driving skills and be able to sit for long periods of time. Being able to talk to guests will enhance your experience as you can receive tips. Downside is it’s not the most rewarding but it’s not full time. I see some areas where they could easily micromanage but they haven’t which is good. The culture has been very friendly. A good part time gig for sure. 

It’s a fast paced environment; there is always an emergency to take care of. Overall you can expect to work 10 hours minimum anywhere from 5-7 days a week depending on what you do. 

The health insurance is amazing, it’s one of the things I miss. Great coverage and it’s cheap. 

I can’t say I enjoyed working there, but the people you meet are amazing. They’re so much fun to be around, and they care about helping you out and watching you grow. 

Management does not lead and adds to your work daily. They change the rules to there advantage. They harass you until they meat there goals. Most of your work is salary work but you are hourly. Grievances might get you fired if you report them. HR is there for the company. Report any type of harassment and you’ll get fired. Culture is bad. Pros benefits are the best competitively , pay is great if they don’t lowball you in the interview. 

No proper equipment maintenance 
Lack of communication 
To much expectations for you
If they know you can do more, they will squeeze it out without a raise 
Unsafe work place
Lies lies lies
This company is not what it seems.  
Do yourself a favor and find something better. Also you will work you but off 12hr shift. No work life balance
