The Wood Group

First when you get to work the beginning of everye day starts with an emplyee meeting about safety and what is expected to do in case of an emergency, who to call and get in contact with for the emergency 2.How to respect every other craftman in the field and how to stop them from hurting themselfs or others in the crew, how to do the work in the safest possible manner,you have the authority to stop the job if it is not safe to do. Get on the radio and call the foreman,safety team so they can come out with a better plan regroup.3. Management no problem always there to support you in any situation. 4. Workplace is a great enviorment to work as long as you do your job in a time and safely manner dont rush to do it. 4.The hardest part was when you dont have the parts in stock to fix the problem and wait for parts to arrive when ordered. 5 Having a good sense of humor,good co-worker that you can depend on,team work.

The Wood Group has by far been one of the easiest jobs I've ever had. It has its pros and cons of course like any other job, but as I stated above IT'S EASY! People often complain about the pay of the job, but when you break it all down, you're getting paid that amount because of the easy tasks that you're required to do. Now, all of that changes whenever you're put at a facility that is contracted with Integral Care. Integral care makes this job 10x harder than what it should be. We're forced to do things that contradicts our unit rules, our mental state and our safety. Integral care does not care about The Wood Group staff and that is shown on a daily basis. I whole heartedly believe that wood group would keep more employees if they weren't forced to work with Integral Care. 

As long as you do your job, you shouldn’t have any issues. The job isn’t hard but there are things that still need to be done. Techs have small cleaning duties, they have 15 minute rounds to check on consumers for safely, provide transportation in the company vehicle, document on consumers at the end of their shift, and go through an admission  packet with incoming consumers. 
Case workers have requirements of meeting with consumers for so many hours and communicating with the local mental health authority about those consumers. They, sometimes, provide tech duties as well.
Admins do it all! HR is great. The corporate office provides you support. Admins set the tone for how the facility runs. 
Overall, The Wood Group has been a good place to work for me!

What is the best part of working at the company?
Horrible management! They dont value their staff and they're only about making money off the heads of the individuals they serve. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Having a supervisor that doctures paperwork and management goes along with it. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Hostile work environment. Employees dont support each other. Everyone is out for themselves. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
The clients we served were better then the staff. Never knew when you would get off because the staff relieving you show up when they please.

Understaffed and horribly mismanaged. Awful communication and blatant narcissism from admin towards nursing and contracted staff. They pay well below state average for all positions but expect everyone to pick up more responsibilities and shifts since they keep running staff members off at multiple locations. 

If I could give 0 stars, I would. I would not recommend working for this company. You are very under payed, the administration behaves unprofessional, and picks favorites, gossips about staff and clients, treats the lazy staff great, the best employees go unrecognized. This place has a huge turnover rate. The clients are in more control, than the administrator. It would really benefit getting a new administrator who is trained in mental illness ,and educated in what they are doing, and genuinely cares about all clients ,staff etc. until there is a major change, the turn overs will continue.

What is the best part of working at the company?
It's an easy job. Basically getting paid to play under and color with clients.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
There's never enough techs. You never know if you'll get off on time or be stuck for hours.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
A lot of backstabbing and people talking behind other backs.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Clean bathrooms, sweep, mop, cook lunch, do lots and lots of laundry, make dinner, empty trash. Get stuff for clients.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Great employees. Everyone easy to get along with and everyone watches out for one another.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Nothing stressful about it.The projects I worked on were planned out safely and done on time.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Culture is great , everyone is there helping one another. Safely plans were always in place.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
First a safety meeting and then the plan for the day. Any questions ask now. Everyone involved in the planning.
