The Waldinger Corporation

Waldinger bought several companies in the upstate and even though it was a buy out, they appeared to have their act together. Problem is that the managers of the buy outs (which was struggling) became the managers of the new TWC and in doing that , they brought their bad habits with them. There is absolutely no support from the office on the local level and you are constantly getting criticized by unqualified managers. Currently their are two service managers in the office and one knows his stuff technically and process but the other one knows nothing and is the reason that employees are leaving. The Operations manager is aware but says “I know that there is a problem but I don’t want to mess up the good vibe in the office!” That’s all good and well but the money is made in the field and if the field doesn’t have knowledgeable support then they will leave. Waldinger for the most part has a good vision and plan but the local level does not follow it. In the most part , TWC would be a great place to work if the Operations Manager would actually do something about the inter office problems instead of hiring in his office. If you are looking for short term experience then this is the place. For long term experience , go somewhere else to get it. 

The Waldinger Corporation says they welcome input from field technicians and mid level managers but when the input is given, upper management receives it as negative criticism regardless how the input is delivered.The work/life balance as a senior technician and mid level manager is terrible. The mid level managers are typically left with the weight of the company on their shoulder while The branch managers disappear to God knows where for God knows how long while they roll your calls VM and return to criticize how you handled the situations that came up while they were gallivanting around. The branch managers report to regional managers who do not communicate directly to mid level managers. This presents a huge gap for the branch managers to do whatever they please while leaning on mid level managers the be the "fall guy." Technicians are often overworked and underpaid. TWC exploits the national bargaining agreement with the unions to and pay what should be Journeyman technicians as a Tradesman.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Not much. Some of the people are really nice.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
There is an inner circle of hierarchy. They believe that you should be able to do your job without leader ship, mentorship, or any type of training. I use a very old antiquated software, system and not wanting to update. Are you off and have to perform the same task multiple times in different systems.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Very hostile. They have a high turn around right.  Heavy work load. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Start my day around seven reading reports dispatching technicians working through customer concerns.  Eat lunch around noon because of the workload you typically work while you eat and leave for home sometime around 5/5:30.

When you ask people who work at Waldinger why they come into work each morning, the answer is always the people. The company culture is friendly, supportive, and encourages curiousity amongst its team members. Waldinger is growing rapidly and is gearing up to accomodate the aggressive growth planned over the next few years. I am interested to see how the company adjusts to accomodate the massive construction projects the organization is taking on and how the servicing side of the company plans to grow. The Waldinger Corporation is made up of four seperate businesses, and this distinction is fairly obvious, even inside of the office. The org structure can be nonsensical in some areas as well, but I anticipate that will be adjusted over the next decade or so.

Overall
I would still work there had I not relocated. The management had my best interest in mind and was always open to listening to my ideas about improving or becoming more efficient

Typical work day included changing filters, and maintaining a preventative maintenance datasheet for each piece of equipment being worked on. Would drive to customer that had service work to be done, check in with customer on iPad and have them review finished product after I was done completing the PREV tr active maintenance on specific pieces of equipment.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Nothing micro Managers. Very disorganized

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Toxic the branch manager runs around dropping f bombs and drinking all day

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Very stressful and very frustrating due to lack of support

the upper management will lie to you, you can not trust a word they say. They told me they had all this work and they did not lay people off. I was a senior tech and I was going behind the younger techs and fixing there mistakes and they worked me all summer and the layed me and a friend of mine off at the same time. If you want to work for a place that will do you dirty the waldinger is the place to go.

Waldinger is a great place to gain experience in the accounting field. Each area is very specific and you can gain a lot of experience in each area individually. If you like variety, you may get bored.
